The Birthday of a Dance Teacher

by Debi Pick Marquette



To 4, she's mum, to 9, grand-mum, and 6 times, great~grand-mum 

She loves them all so much, she's proud to be under their thumb

And she has always lived in New Zealand where she is from

I've heard it is so beautiful, why many want to come



She taught dancing seventy years, now she'll hang up her shoes

Was teaching every age group, so you'd think it's time to snooze

But children's parties she will entertain with dance she'll choose

And she's so young at heart, I think she'll keep her life on cruise



"The Journey of a Dance Teacher" was the first book she wrote

Encouraging readers to follow passions, she'll denote

She's working on grandmothers recollection, she'll promote 

She writes, dances and gardens; with her hobbies she must float



Joined 2020 FanStory, first post 9 months ago

She's happiest when she's so busy, that's when she will glow

Poetry Day is spent with every age group you could know

They'll celebrate all over town and then put on a show



What would you say, if we would pay, to have a band come play

And they just may, without delay, tell us that it's okay

And we'll partay, FanStory way, but if we drink, we stay

Gaye, we will sway, you with bouquet, so you'll do the ballet



Hooray for NanaGaye, with love, Let's sing "Happy Birthday!"
