The Artist

The artist knows of what they preform
The gift they have is embedded when born.
Each travelling show they take a bow
The everlasting applause they receive is then and now.
Many awards or just a review
Is how they begin to write lines new.
A performance well reached of those who speak
They say you entertain but never too bleak.
A stage is a space that needs your face
An artist like you connects with that place.
Many fans that wish you well from month to year
The very best are the ones that buy you with cheer.
