Future

Location

I planned my sister's future today:

 

First, she needs to learn German.

Nevermind that she's never shown an interest in languages

 

Next, she needs to attend university in Zurich. She'll get a Bachelor's in Engineering,

 

Our Family will be so Proud, a Useful degree.

 

No, she'll get a Master's.

No a Ph.D.

Doctor... I Like that.

 

Next, she'll marry a boy she met in college. He's from China, no India.

He noticed her for her Blonde hair and Big Green eyes

But fell in love with her Brain and Gentle Soul.

 

They move to India, near his family.

The fledglng Space Program allows her to Shine.

She grows

learns

is homesick

She comes home to the US

Works for Nasa

 

Is happy

 

Why

Is planning Her future not scary

And Mine is?
