Reflections of You

I looked into her past, her distant past A time when memories were to be cast Her innocent feet twisted in the air When she tried to show off to those who care Dancing was her life and ballet was king She jumped into the air and sure could sing Songs of dance were her divine specialty She could move with the best of them surely I have reflections of you my sweet one Back in the day when ballet was real fun I showered you with affection back then As I do now, steady with a great grin Dance is what she learned early in her days One she mastered and shined like those sun rays Contest: "Reflections Of You" Sponsor: Gail Angel Doyle 5/8/2013

Beautiful imagery of reflections. I love this line, 'her innocent feet twisted in the air when she tried to show off to those that care'. It put a smile on my face, and memories of my own came flying back. Congratulations on your well deserved win. Warm Smiles, Connie
