Today I am a doctor. 

I make boo-boos go away.

I help people feel better

So they can go outside to play.


A mess of bandages 

Has Mommy looking like a mummy.

I know all the special foods and teas 

To ease an achy tummy.


I kiss it better 

When Daddy is sad from his sore ouchy.

I listen to his heart 

And give him a cure to be less grouchy.


For everyone who comes by, 

I look inside ears and noses and mouths.

If I see something that doesn’t belong, 

It’s my job to pull it out.


I wash my hands and look really hard 

And listen with a stethoscope.

But nothing quite says “Doctor” 

Like my warm and bright white coat.


To some I am a hero.

Because I can wake up Sleeping Beauty.

I’m not here to be a hero.

I’m just here to do my duty.


Today I am a doctor. 

I’ll fix your bruise and blues and flu.

What will I be tomorrow? 

I can hardly wait to choose.
