in the wings

My hopes and dreams--
shy actors and actresses
peeking from behind the
curtain, giggling and
fluttering
wondering when their
time will come, what part
they will get to play on the
great stage.

Because they're so young, they
just need a little push
on the tush
to get going.

And sometime they make you so tired, their irresponsible wandering behind the stage, their carelessness to pay attention to the play, those big dreams that they have pushed under the stage for no one to smash and grab them, oh my lovable and irritating boys...

yes, sometimes they forget their cue, or other actors just rush out. i wonder if they'll get to grow up and shine, or if they are just passing through...
