Just For One Day
Standing on a stage, a song flowed from her lips.
Just a little thing, no movement in her hips,
only a nervous twitch, a smile and big blue eyes,
as she tried to win this contest, she only had to try.
A shiny satin dress, a pair of patent shoes,
the song should have been, sad and lonely blues.
But instead it came out country, mellow and sweet,
but was it enough so the other's she could beat?
When the music ended, she was left standing there,
folded hands in front, as a ribbon slipped from her hair.
Someone clapped their hands, she saw someone stand,
at that very moment, she felt very grand.
Of course she didn't win, at least not on that day.
The satin dress was hung, she went out to play.
Years have passed, once again the story's told,
of the time she was in the limelight, and she was ten years old.

How sweet. It was an experience never to be forgotten. Like my first dance recital. Slipped on the string of my ballet slipper which had come untied and landed on my bottom on the floor. Life does go on and I have landed on my bottom several times since then and still get up and live. LOL

That is so sweet, our moments in the sun. Keep us warm in all the years to come.
That make me smile. Thank you for sharing this beautiful gift. |
