Ballerina
Ballerina
A dainty dancer statue graces a busy pathway
Grace on perfect point for all to see
Heaven’s music beats in her heart every day
Clear crystal happiness begs me to dance her way
In summer’s lilting arabesque with lady bugs and bees
A dainty dancer statue graces a busy pathway
I flow in cadence with the joy of her ballet
As springtime daffodils dance with me
Heaven’s music beats in her heart every day
She pirouettes as golden leaves swing and sway
I follow her steps in the dance of scarlet trees
A dainty dancer statue graces a busy pathway
I twirl with her in swirling snowflake play
When winter leaves a frosty filigree
Heaven’s music beats in her heart every day
Through every season she begs me dance fall to May
To leap and laugh with her in the dance of life
Heaven’s music beats in her heart every day
A dainty dancer statue graces a busy pathway

There is a bronze statue of a little ballerina on the mall at the Old Orchard Mall. This statue is the source of my inspiration for this poem.
