I dream A little girl’s magical dream A dream of just dancing I look in the mirror as I dance in gracefulness Hearing the magic of the music in its sound I stand on my tiptoes and stretch as far as I can I twirl, leap, spin, and sing Dancing is what I want to do when I grow up Casting shimmering reflections Tickling my toes and heart The future holds the key A dancer is what I want to be ~ Moving forward into a new phase in my life A wife, mother, teacher, artist and poet I've become Complete and in harmony Everything a little girl would have dream for But a small part of me still desires For peace of yesterday I yearn To be that little girl again and those wonderful dreams of dancing I had 8/20/2015

Thank you, Jan, you are so kind. I wasn't sure what I was going to write but when I saw my granddaughter dancing and stretching it just brought back memories. My Jesyca always puts a smile on my face. Hugs Eve

Thank you, Njeri, for your wonderful compliment.I took my 9 year old granddaughter out shopping for school clothes Tuesday. She found a pair of stretch pants so she was demonstrating how she could stretch and dance in them, it just brought back so many memories of myself. Hugs Eve
