El circo

The Circus
The circus is coming
with tents and dressing rooms,
they bring the wise dogs,
clowns and acrobats.
I start feeling great
before Sunday arrives,
I dream the whole night
with the circus band.
I dream of playing the drum,
the bugle and the trumpet,
selling flower turrons
and directing the party.
I wish to have a circus
as big as a planet,
where children from all over the earth
would come to the ring.
My circus dream is leaving
to travel its paths,
to bring joy with the clowns
to other children's hearts.
