Pure Pleasure

Children dressed from head to toe Performing on stage a show Called "Color Me A Rainbow." Family and friends sitting below Row after row As children go To and fro Singing and dancing like pros. Some children have a cameo Yet, they're making sure all acts flow. No one is slow. There's not a wrinkle on a brow Just beautiful faces all a glow. At the end of the show The parents know These children have changed from a year ago As they bestow A standing ovation shouting bravo To children who have just captured the rainbow.

Bette. I feel like I have just watched this performance from a front row seat. It reminded me of a memory I had not had in twenty-five years, thus a new poem will probably be born from this poem. Thank you for a great idea, my friend! Mine is completely different, but unremembered until this poem.

Thank you Andrea. I was so proud of my son and his friends. They were professionals on that night. I don't think there was anyone in the audience who could of disagreed. Lol.
