The Story of Granddaughter Lily

The story of Granddaughter Lily By Franklin Price 4/14/2015 The story of granddaughter Lily Is one I feel compelled to tell Of talent that revealed itself Really from the starting bell At her birth and I was there Entered the stage oh what a sight Star of the show she was that day A prelude to this Friday night Precocious as a growing child Entertaining was her thing If one or more were in her view Never missed a chance to dance and sing Then came the play in seventh grade Pirates of Penzance the name Tried out for the leading role And so began her school play game We were there and cheering proudly She sang and acted as a pro At the end applauding loudly We hugged her neck said way to go The years have flown since way back then She has performed in song and dance Lily a high school senior now Curtains in the Pirates of Penzance We will be there to watch the show Grandparents cannot stay away We'll clap and cheer embarrass her Celebrate this final high school play I know this will not be the last For entertainment is her thing On to college and on from there Excited to see what life will bring
