Proof that hard work, perseverence and talent can still make the American dream come true.

Lily Valentine
By Franklin Price

I'm here to tell a timely tale
Of  lovely Lily Valentine
It may be slightly slanted
She's a relationship of mine

She's the daughter of my daughter
She has great talent in her voice
Since her early days of childhood
Music always was her choice

Was the lead in most the musicals
Was Drum Major of the band
Sight reads all the music notes
I just barely understand

Plays piano and the French horn
Maybe others, that's her game
Directs an a cappella group
Gemini Boulevard its name

They compete with other college groups
Awards for her are quite a few
She's been named the best soloist
And the best arranger too

Tried out to be professional
Was just the other day
For Musae, an a cappella group
Here are some words they had to say

We loved the way you interviewed
The way you used your voice
The way you copied Windex
Hands down you are our choice

Now she's on another branch 
To climb the music tree
I know she has no bigger fan
Than her pop pop, that is me
