Cinderella Memories

Cinderella Memories Young, self-confident, the debutante stood! At the top of the golden railed staircase. And, oh my, in a Cinderella mood! The white full length strapless gown, Satin buttoned gloves to her elbow, And her partner, in tuxedo dressed, Made her so proud and very blessed. They descended the magic like stairs to begin the Viennese waltz. Gowns of debutantes gowns swishing the  floors, sounding so much like fluttering butterfly wings. Their satin shoes like rosebuds,so beautifully peeked. Hair done to perfection, with a crown of fragrant carnations upon her head. Then, for each debutante comes that auspicious moment. When they enter the center of the  ballroom floor, only with their father! Fathers dressed in tails to be present  proudly, to society... Their most precious daughters. Each debutante, so lovely, makes a full bow to the floor with long stemmed roses. The father in tails,so proud of the daughter  he has raised, Is indeed granted, the audience's highest praise! Let the full orchestra continue, the Viennese music play on. A Cinderella evening for a father's one and only daughter. With rows of zirconia on her wrist, Oh, what a heavenly evening was this. Whose memories brightly stay, For his daughter, an ever-gleaming ray. Panagiota Romios 3/28/2019" Dedicated to my Father: Edward With love and fervent gratitude.
