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.
