Notes About The Poem

There's something about watching a ballerina perform. I had the priveledge of watching my 9 year old niece perform. So adorable!

The Ballerina

The tiny ballerina
Was as pretty as a rose 
She was quite a sight to see 
As she danced upon her toes
 
Pink leotards she wore 
With a white ruffled belt of lace 
A natural looking beauty 
With a blush put on her face
 
She was glamorous and elegant 
When she twisted and she twirled 
She wore a shapely figure 
And her hair was long and curled
 
I watched her in awe 
She was slim and she was meek 
Jewelry box music... she danced to
I smiled...from cheek to cheek

A dedication she should always have...maybe one day years to come she will look back at the poem her uncle wrote, and remember her days as a ballerina...
