The Song to Darci Lynne Farmer 12 Year Old Ventriloquist
A well fashioned song to mark an end
A well fashioned song to mark a beginning
The Song (Shakespearean sonnet)
Which caused his dreams to pause and then repent
In all the joys and happiness well spent
A time forever after meant to last
-
And though he danced his partners have all gone
Was no one left who understood his smile
He wonders has it been so long a while
And still this song politely lingers on
-
How could they know the melody he hears
The places they have seen and they have chanced
Igniting dreams in others with their dance
To song which now ignites confusing tears
-
He sighs as song continues to portend
He knows his song is coming to the end
The sweet music of a memory plays out in this Shakespearean sonnet. While most Shakespearean sonnets have a love theme, this one toys with our sentiments. This sonnet uses the less popular rhyme pattern: ABBA/ CDDC/EFFE/GG.
After Arlene's passing, I returned to some semblance of normalcy. Beside my family, friends and associates, I was helped along by the many projects I was involved in and those that called for my attention. I didn't organize entertainment anymore. My attention was drawn to Toys For Tots, College Scholarships for youths, Masonic rituals and education, my various charities and things like that. To aid all that I was involved in required that I attend Lodge functions, not only for my Lodge but many other Lodges who were supporting my efforts. At these functions, I could see many little things Arlene and I had introduced. It is amazing how good ideas spread. On one hand I was complimented and honored. On the other hand I missed the partner who made all this come to life, Arlene. And what life it was. A beautiful song that touched the lives of so many. But this song was coming to an end, as I turned my projects over to new fresher souls. The story of that man was coming to a close. Little did I know there was one more chapter to be written.
What are we doing right now? Did we ever think how we were changing the world? Oh yes. even us changing everything. Think about this: A farmer was picking strawberries. These strawberries made it to market, where they were purchased by a chef. The strawberries tasted so good the chef was inspired to make a special snack for his boss. The boss was having a bad day, until he ate the snack. The snack was so good that it took the bitterness off of things. The boss was the President. So a farmer changed the world. So it is with all of us. We are all connected. Cause and effect. A chain reaction. We write about saving a tree. Someone reads what wrote and decides to join us. Others join in and writing turns into so much more. Now let's take things one step further. We only have one vote in an election. What if we convinced others to vote? To vote in our direction? What if we inspired others? To grow their garden as nice as as ours; Another way to prepare a meal; To join in the efforts for a better tomorrow; To lead; To follow. Make no mistake, we are all of us changing the world. Not only that, we are leaving a memory of ourselves behind. Let us make our memories ones that we can Enjoy.

Let's think this all through over a warm beverage: Cappuccino Bar "Espressivo"
Talk about making memories
Ventriloquism history is diverse as it is ancient. What is concrete and to be relied upon is that it began as a religious practice. The Egyptians have a claim to it, the Greeks also, so do the Zulu communities in Africa. During the middle of the 20th Century ventriloquism remained very popular due to such greats as Edgar Bergen, Shari Lewis, Senor Wences, and Paul Winchell. Enter the picture Darci Lynne Farmer, a 12 year old from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is her dream to join the greats in ventriloquism.
Let's join Darci Lynne as she auditions on the 12th season of America's Got Talent. "America's Got Talent 2017 Darci Lynne Farmer Ventriloquist Golden Buzzer Auditions 1"
