Waiting to Dance

Waiting in the wings
My heart does funny things
It flips and flops
I fear that it might STOP!

Waiting in the quiet
Hoping there will be a riot
Of applause
When it is time to take my bow.

Waiting in the darkness
Thinking, “Will I make a big mess
Will I stumble
And fall flat upon my face?”

Waiting in the dust motes
I hear the very first notes
My cue
I take a breath and then I go.

Waiting here with head bent
This will be my moment
To dance
Fulfilling all my hopes and dreams.

Waiting for the first step
And thinking all the while
Remember, Jordan
Don’t forget to smile.

Written for Jordan in 2006 - Nana
