Hip Hop Moves

On the stage, the pre-teen girls Displayed their hip hop moves, As sequins sparkled while the dancers Got into their grooves. Though just a dress rehearsal, Make-up gleamed on lips and eyes And you could spot the older selves Their bodies did disguise. Yet even with suggestive thrusts, Their innocence shone through. Of grown-up sexuality, These girls had not a clue. And that was wonderful to see, Especially because My grandchild was among those dancers Waiting for applause.
