It was pretty hard to see the orchestra <br />from where we were perched... <br />the fourth balcony~~nosebleed seats. <br />He said he didn't care that we couldn't see. <br />''The music sounds just as pretty from up here Mom! '' <br /> <br />I watched him as he peered over the railing, <br />craning his neck to see those big bass drums get beat. <br />He said that was the best part. <br />''That's cool, the smallest girl in the whole orchestra <br />gets to play the biggest instrument! '' <br /> <br />He doesn't normally listen to classical music <br />but tonight he was a Gershwin fan. <br />He sat there on the edge of his seat <br />just tapping along like a ''classical connoisseur''. <br /> <br />He was so proud to be my date tonight. <br />He wore his best ''button-up'' shirt <br />and made sure his hair was in the perfect spikes. <br />He is every mothers dream <br />and I will cherish our special date night <br />for a very long time.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-special-date-night/
