Happy Feet

Little girls and happy feet
Fills the soul with hearts, laughs loud.
Links girls and heaven; cheers a crowd.
Where ballet and smiling fun soon meet.

A steady dance upon life’s coarse.
Too soon, they up and go away.
Always remembering their smiles that day.
Pure and simple; joy with no remorse.

Dreams and flowers a retreat.
Sweet memories and dancing feasts
Uplifts the face of mundane beasts.
Oh, little girls with happy feet.
