She stands in the wing
Father’s hands on shoulders
Mother covering her mouth
Hiding prayer words
From the camera.
Suddenly bright lights
And inviting orchestral.
Out she goes.
Four panelists smiling
For her.
Simon is one.
First some background questions
And reasons why?
The smart looking
Dark blue dress
Hides her twisted
Club foot.
She wants no sympathy
Howie often goes there
With his remarks.
Heidi smiles sparklingly
And wishes the best.
Then the song
Starting softly
Little volume
For a mournful tune.
Takes a twist to
a story of improvement
Resolve, louder
Toward Victory.
And standing ovation.
Only the song
Need be considered
For those 4
Yes votes.
