"You good? "
She asked
And I thought to myself
"wish I was,
A good face to look at
A good daughter to give a shoulder pat
A good dancer to admire
A good singer to hire
A good student to praise
A good racer to chase
A good girl to marry"
These are the thoughts I carry
And once again I hid them behind my tears
And nodded.

A friend thought out loud her wishes in front of me
