Lure of the Lights
She wanted to act
on a great big stage in fact,
but know-how she lacked.
She sought some advice,
beneficial and concise.
The advice? Not nice!
Instead of crying
she'd decide to keep trying -
no tears, no sighing.
The lure of stage lights:
so intoxicating.
Boldly, she pressed on.
She then caught a break:
"Emergency replacement"
for a female lead.
Opportunities
arose for more and more shows.
Sometimes, dreams come true.
