Her Show

She doesn't dance like Anna Pavlova
She doesn't sing like Diana Ross
but on this blissful day I am watching
the best performer I've ever come across

She wobbled on her pique turns
She forgot to point her toes
but she never lost her smile
a perfect angel until the close

She might not sing in perfect rhythm
She might not always be in tune
but her singing is so beautiful
it makes this proud daddy swoon

I can relate, I miss when my daughters were younger and I went to see them in performances.

That was such a sweet poem. But the second stanza, third line, may have an extra her or needs a different word. I loved the poem.
