And what shall she do?

Chris Hall60 Comments

she is a good girl
she’s bright and intelligent
but what will she be?

history, maths, English
science, geography or art
maybe Latin? (no)

but, of course, she’ll tell
she wants to be an actress
and why not? you see

she can be anything!

  13. Love this! It makes me think of a little girl I had as a student in my English learners class in around 2008. She came from India in 7th grade, not knowing a word of English. I’ve kept in touch with her over the years, and just this June got to attend her graduation from the police academy! 😀She would agree with your poem!
