Dancer(In Honor of His Late Decorated Father)

Swift on his feet Swaying fro The magical dance snapping to a certain beat A player of the art Ballerina with a heart Rhythm harmonic Boogie-Woogie one step time Every ballad that is played for him is returned in his sensitive movements upon the ballet floor underneath so His only audience A statue of his Father Who served during the Gulf War But tragically killed in the line of duty Decorated with a Purple Heart Honored on this statuesque The Dancer is celebrating For his Hero A Soldier proud and a Father missed The Swan on his Lake Every nuance without mistake The sun as his Stage Light And the music from Nature's Lips who sing Handsome light as a Feather Braved 35 years of personal weather I COULD GO ON AND ON,DEAREST DAD THIS IS FOR YOU AND THE VICTORIES THAT WE HAVE HAD YOU ARE NO LONGER HERE TO WATCH MY PERFORMANCE AND YOUR 8 YR OLD GRANDSON SO DEAR I HONOR YOU IN DANCE I LOVE YOU WITH A SMILE AS MY SONG STILL PLAYS ON YOUR ONLY SON WOULD LIKE TO REMEMBER WITH YOU FOR ONE MORE WHILE UNTIL THE RECORD PLAYER PLAYS OUR SUITE NO MORE
