Today I Am...

Today I am an Actor
The stage is set for me
I practice all my funny lines
For everyone to see!

Today I am an architect,
I’m going on a plan.
My office is where I design —
that’s where my dreams began.

Today I am an astronaut

I’m going on a trip.

The elevator lifts me up

Into my rocket ship.

Today I am a baker,
I’m going to make a pie.
The butter melts, the flour flies,
and laughter fills the sky.

Today I am a doctor,
my bag is full of care.

I wear my clean white coat today,

for patients everywhere.

Today I am a firefighter,

With courage, heart, and luck.

I slide down from the fire pole

Into my shiny truck.

Today I am a journalist,
I’m going on a scoop.
The taxi takes me through the town,
to chase the latest loop.

Today I am a painter,

I’m going on a spree.

My studio’s my magic world

where colors dance with me.

Today I am a pianist,
I’m playing through the day.
The keys sing beneath my hands
they show me where to play.

Today I am a scientist,
I’m going on a quest.
My lab is where I do my work,
where ideas get their test.

Today I am a teacher,
I’m going to teach today.
The yellow bus comes honking loud
I wave and shout, “Hooray!”

Today I am a zookeeper,

My day begins at dawn.

I feed the sleepy animals

Across the waking lawn.
