All The World Is A Stage

Recital Day- A Poem

I’m so nervous

I’ve practiced so much

There’s so much commotion

And so much fuss!

There’s the call

It’s time for costumes

Make-up and hair

Finishing touches are applied!

We’re on deck

I hope I remember my steps

My parents are here

And my grandparents too!

Dance dance,

Don’t forget your steps,

Look up and smile

Says my teacher.

Out on to the stage we go

With music in the background

Humming

“Sailing Sailing”

I did it!

I really did

Flowers and hugs

From my excited parents!

Oh I love dancing

Oh I love the stage

I love it all

Even the butterflies in my tummy!
