I wish, that I could still dance like before, Before, I was sick and almost went to heaven; I used to be able to spin and twirl on the dance floor, Before, I would leap like a gazelle on the count of seven; Oh, I wish I could still fly in the air like a soaring beautiful raven. I wish, I had the strength I used to possess, Like a majestic bird, I floated, whirled and twirled; Oh, in the softest, most delicate and palest chiffon dress, Now, I dance like that at night, in my dreamy dream world; I still dance and each day at class, make a wish, as I am whirled. ____________________________________ July 7, 2016 Poetry/Quintain (English)/Make A Wish Copyright Protected, ID 16-806-795-0 All Rights Reserved.
