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

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...

I’m not a ballet fan but I’m sure this sweet darling would change my mind. Kids are great. Well expressed.
