See Serena


It's the end of the show Whales sent to the back A last thankful wave People still intact. It's the middle of the show The whale goes to pose I look to the audience and see A girl that attends all shows It's the beginning of the show I watch people take their seat And see the same little girl I think we should meet. The show is now over I go to pools platform The seat is now empty Surrounded by popcorn. It's between shows The new line has begun And who's at the front? The little party of one. It's the end of the show She still sits alone I ask her to come to me In the politest of tone. She walks over to me With a nervous smile "How long have you come here?" "It's been quite a while." "What is your name? Mine is Catina." "It's a pleasure to meet you, My name's Serena." "I notice you sitting here Every show You look so amazed. Is there someone you know?" "I don’t have a family And I'm nine years old My mom kicked me out, "you’re a mistake" I was told." I was shocked by this story I could not believe How this innocent girl Was told to leave. I've been wanting a girl But can not conceive This little girl's story Helped me believe. Then it hit me I want a girl, she needs a mom My daughter Serena Parents, Catina and Tom. She loves the whales I am the trainer She wants to be me, I can teach her. One month later It's finalized Serena Mighell She's personalized. The time went by quick She's 19 now And trains by my side Taking her bow. Her dreams are fulfilled And mine are as well I am her hero I can tell. I look to the crowd She sits there no more I look to my side See the girl I adore.
