Okay, at the end of this month I'm going to the state pageant and this is my talent  . I know it needs A LOT of work and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Someday the trophies will all be packed away  
The roses will wilt, but memories will stay  
The gowns will be packed in a closet somewhere
Age will set in, graying our once vibrant hair  

We will tell our children and grandchildren too  
Of each of our experiences brand new
How the girls came, from all over our great state
And of excitement, not one of us could wait  

So different, yet there was one thing we shared  
We got up on that stage, and our souls were beared  
As nervous as could be, but we were prepared
Thanks to all the people who showed us they cared  

Helping us prepare and calming our stage fright  
Hours of practice leading up to one night  
And when the lucky girls that win are called out  
I'll know that each girl has won, without a doubt  

We gave it our all and each challenge was met
None of us have a reason to be upset  
Instead, we should be proud of all that we've done  
Since this isn't based on winning, but having fun

When you tell tales of this pageant in old age
You won't remember the winner on the stage  
But you'll remember the practice it gave you
Thanks to those at Coed Pageants who make dreams come true

P.S. I was in the challenge forum and found PdV square dance challenge and think it sounds pretty cool. Anyone want to be my partner for a collective poem?

I think this is wonderful Angel!  You captured the preparation, the anticipation, the climax and excitement of the evening, and wrapped it all up with a lovely closing sentiment. Well done and have a terrific time!  

Best wishes,
