&quot;KID YOU&#039;LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!<br /> <br /> So...<br /> be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray<br /> or Mordecai Ali Van Alenn O&#039;Shea<br /> you&#039;re off to Great Places!<br /> Today is your day!<br /> Your mountain is waiting.<br /> So... get on your way!&quot; - Dr. Seuss, &quot;Oh! The Places You&#039;ll Go&quot;


Someday, I will look out my back door,
Staring at a tree identical to this;
Home it may make me miss,
But I'll have this, then and evermore.

Someday, I just may
Be married, adopt a child,
Even though today
Those thoughts seem wild.

Someday, I will stand at the end of an isle,
Gazing upon all those smiles,
Knowing how far I've come
To share this day of sun.

Someday, I will have a degree,
An office for children to be heard;
I will help their parents see
The meanings of their words.

Someday, I will not care
About my makeup, my hair;
I'll cut it all off, go without
Refusing to in disarray shout.

Someday, I will leave this town,
Not shedding a tear, nor even a frown;
I'll find a small place,
Maybe see a new face.

Someday, I will leave my school,
Graduate, feeling fulfilled, cool;
The next year missing all of it,
Down to the desks at which I'd sit.

Someday, I will be open,
More outgoing, and maybe then
Have a relationship in high school
With someone, both acting a fool

But Today,
I must say...
I am young,
Still having fun.

Today,
I must say...
I have a lot to learn
Before this life is adjourn.

While gazing at a tree,
I'd had an epiphany:
My life's hopes and dreams,
Bursting at the seems.
