WHERE I BELONG!
By: Milagros Matín



Dedicated to:

My sweet Barbara, one day you will find your “circus”.
My husband and two boys, with you I belong.
My friends, and you all know who my friends are, you all complete my “circus”.


Where I Belong!

I belong in the circus.
I want to be a clown and be silly.


Where I Belong!
I belong in Mars with the aliens, I bet they want to be friends.

Where I Belong!
I belong at the end of the rainbow, where there arelots of gold coins.
Enough to buy ice cream.

Somewhere I belong!

I belong in the sea, swimming with the mermaids.
There I’ll fit in.


I belong with King Arthur,
Since I could be a prince and sit at the round table.
I belong somewhere!


I’ll be loved in Asia.
Look, I can be Chinese!


I’ll be loved somewhere,
and I’ll be missed.


I will never be an echo, to the desert of my home,
I will never be a bother to my uncle or my mom, because I’ll be leaving to the Circus real soon.

And if the Circus never comes, I can always go to Mars.
The alien mom will hug me and never be upset.
But if the spaceship never comes to get me,
I can always search for rainbows.
In them I could never be a pest.
I’ll save enough gold coins to buy a dad just like King Arthur.

From the rainbow, I will sing out loud, and my mermaid mom will ask me to come home.
With a BIG dive to the ocean, I will make her happy.

But if I could never be a mermaid, I can always go to Asia and an oriental mom,will like me because I’m so sweet.


Well, for now I’ll just keep hoping for the Circus to pass by.
Since I’m always called a clown and at the circus, clowning around is allowed.
I bet someone there will listen to me and my silly stories instead of sending me to bed.


One day, I’ll be somewhere, where I can have a voice of my own.
Somewhere I belong!
