Curtain Call


behind the dark blue curtain he did stand
waiting for his cue, his action command
his dream to be in the stage limelight
this his chance this very night
moments tense and then a pause
his dream now real, applause, applause.

Oh how fitting this image and words are this day. My husband is preparing to audition for the show w/Simon Cowell "THE X FACTOR". a singing competition on April 21st at Foxwood Casino. It could be his moment. "......his dream now real, applause, applause."

Love to you
Gail

Ahhhh the tension of waiting for the curtain to open and the "play" to begin, then waiting, waiting, waiting for the applause that will tell, "I've done well!" OR......not!
