Tonight as I speak
They'll be doing their play
Year four take the stage as their own
The parents so proud
As their little ones shine
Facing the stage, some alone
They've practised their lines
And rehearsed a few times
But now they give all that they can
We’re so proud of you all
Amazingly brave
Standing where, others have ran
There were a few 'runners' this week at my grandaughters play, so sad to see the nerves take over. But they are a delight to watch, oblivious of what they are doing, and watching everyone else instead of concentrating on doing there bit. Ha! Ha! It takes me back many years to my own performances, which looking back were quite embarrassing really. Well captured in this poem these feelings. Loved it. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
Lovely poem...must be for little Emily? I would say 'break a leg' (a theatre expression I believe) , but that always seems so nasty! ! LOL Hugs, Dee
