Finesse

She strikes me with the way she walks
Her head held high and shoulders straight
A rhythmic smoothness in her step
The swing of arms matching her gait.

You might assume that she could be
A model trained to catch the eye;
Instead, she lives the dream of dance
This joy to life she won’t deny!

Your words dance across the page Paul. I sense an air of deep pleasure / feeling proud with someone for their achievements, abilities and for their being just who they are. EDIT: I've just read Jan's comments below. Fine writing. Cheers - Gary.
