As I step on stage

My tutu starts to shimmer. 

Yearning and lurking for 

Children’s eyes as they glimmer. 

Beauty insight as to the work of the sun,

Yet what it takes to get there 

Is simply not as fun. 

Sores and bruises are what the end goal takes 

Yet when I see others get frustrated

My heart starts to break. 

Working as a team  

Is the best we can do, 

And with this helps us from feeling so very blue.

As tensions get high, 

Its time to show the art

As we dance, and proform 

Nothing less than straight from the heart. 

Now the show is over

Our emotions pore over 

Yet we can remember, 

And take what we’ve learned 

So much further.
