A Song for all of us that are Parents or simply remember Fond Childhoods. Recorded live at a PASA Event by Jon Sherling.
Ballerinas and Leadoff Hitters
Little ballerina, do you ever hear the roar of applause at Avery Fisher?
And as you accept the flowers you get, do you smile and caress your pillow?
Little leadoff hitter, do you ever swing at the first pitch from Tommy Seaver?
And as you circle diamonds, do you often reach home before you wake to mommy’s calling?
Ballerinas, leadoff hitters, astronauts, and Heisman winners
To all of us that were ever dreamers: dance, swing, fly, win
Precious little child, the future lies beguiled
And as you spiral upward, name a star for me
Little Indiana, have you yet discovered the lost treasure of Cleopatra?
And make sure to share all that you find there, with your loving mother.
