Melon Queen, Dedicated To Heather

A year ago, wow that did go fast One of my dreams, did come true at last. Up on that stage, it wasn't a game Did I hear right, they just called my name? Our Melon queen, her name was Heather Now come parades, wtih all the weather. Some would be cold, and some would be hot No matter what, I would speak a lot. The tears of joy, they ran down my face It happened quick, I felt my heart race. I looked at mom, then glanced at my dad So filled with pride, the grins they both had. Dad cleaned the float, and he packed the car Knowing we had, to drive pretty far. Rushing around, I'd hear my mom say "Heather come on, we've got a long way". Waking early, and pulling the float I can't forget, my blanket and coat. The wind and rain, could last quite a while I'd always wave, and give them a smile. The teas we had, the friends that I made This whole past year, I would never trade. Always helping, were my mom and dad Giving it up, I feel quite sad.
