The dawn has begun again
She knows her role
A daughter of the farm
Full-time hours before her needs
Many mouths scream for breakfast before her own
The buffet for livestock
This life of haystacks and grit labeled her
Fourteen working full-time
Sweat before the school bus
The unattainable sits around her here
polished nails, current clothes
Differences exclude the exhausted
She dreams of the dance
A lighted stage free of mud
Boots become ballet shoes
She’ll leave that barnyard for the ballet one day
