Dancing On Silver Linings

She tried hard to dance on silver linings Though she was not a very graceful girl Those awkward left feet would always trip her Into the dark clouds she would always fall Though she was not a very graceful girl She had a strange grace in the way she moved Into the dark clouds she would always fall Yet I never saw her without a smile She had a strange grace in the way she moved Those she thought were her friends would laugh at her Yet I never saw her without a smile I wondered what was going on in her mind Those she thought were her friends would laugh at her If it hurt her she did not let it show I wondered what was going on in her mind Perhaps that's why I came to her rescue If it hurt her she did not let it show I knew there must be sad beyond the smile Perhaps that's why I came to her rescue In that moment she was able to cry I knew there must be sad beyond the smile Those awkward left feet would always trip her In that moment she was able to cry She tried hard to dance on silver linings Now with a true friend, she is able to fly Check out my mom's latest poem, she totally shocked me Hilarious stuff. Her Poetry Soup Name is Mama Bear.

Very nice Richard. One of the hardest forms for me, but you make it look simple. I really like the line "In that moment she was able to cry". So true and typical.

For some people that is the only way they feel safe. I hope she finds a different way.

Fortunately you put a "b" and not a "p" *lol* Congratulations, you look so young it's hard to believe you are a grandma.
