She woke up this morning determined to play
to all of her toys and the cat,
she knew they would listen and not run away
as she put on her black velvet hat.
The sun had just risen, so she closed the door
her parents were both fast asleep,
she lined up her toys on a rug on the floor
and said to them all, “not a peep”.
She sat in her nightie, resplendent and proud;
the 'opening night' had begun,
and nothing was heard, not a voice from the crowd
they listened in awe, everyone.
So lost in her music she’d not heard the sound
the door opened silent and wide,
it wasn’t until she had stopped and turned round
saw Mum and Dad beaming with pride.
At last the recital was over and done,
the cat had run out of the door,
and their little angel backlit by the sun
sat smiling … for she knew the score!
