Preschooler’s Plea

By Tracy Stanaway, Tracy’s School of Dance, Billings, Montana

Dear Mommy and Daddy

I want to be a dancer, and a dancer I will be,

But Mommy, how can I pay attention if you’re always watching me?

My teacher says I’m awesome; I know that you agree,

But try to let me learn now—I’m grown now, practically!

My shoes can come untied, my tutu fall apart,

A sticker lost upon the floor will almost break my heart.

Someone took my spot today and class just seemed so long,

But then Teacher played my favorite, my best recital song.

I danced and twirled so gracefully; I boogie-woogied too,

I skipped and jumped and did my dance—what a surprise for you!

So Daddy, let me dance and play, let me pose and curtsy too.

But watching time is over, cause I’ll be learning something new!
