Summer Solstice, George Hotel.
Tonight's a rite of passage.
I see you in a different light:
that shoulderless dress of blue,
and hair so classically Greek.
My dazzling daughter: you have danced
since you could walk, and raced through school
with confidence and too much talk!
The future's yours, yet pause; survey
the teachers gathered at the ball.
From all those has-beens, I'd be glad
if you would dance with your loving Dad.
