Fifth Grade
Off to school ...a usual day
For fifth grade friends and you
But on that date from far away
My mind's eye held a view
Watching you in costume
My need to paint tugged strong
Miles away you dressed the part
Then danced and sang your song
A mini-play of sorts evolved
For all who came to see
The stage alive as you performed
No seat was there for me
When I was ten I danced and sang
Enjoying similar part
On this day, though, it was your turn
And pride swelled in my heart
I heard applause and watched you bow
Then soon the curtain closed
No one knew the me in you
Or
Did they ...would you suppose?
