Listen to poem:

The Dancer

The Dancer
David J Walker

I will never be the 
Dancer I dreamed of
Gliding across the floor
Moved by the music 
And bowing to the audience 
Wanting more
Applauding 

Her lament as heard by the four
Who formed a ring 
Encircling 
their mother

Applauding every 
Graceful movement 
On the hardwood floor
Guiding them through life
Want more 
	And more
