The Swan

Stretch downnnn! Swing uppp! And again-you’re meant to be a swan Turn, pivot, again! I don’t feel like a swan I never get it right for all I try I never get it right No! No! Do it again, Come on Jessica Stretch your toes, arch! Arch! I wish I was a real swan floating on the river not a care the world just drifting on Again! Twirl! Twirl Stretch uppp! You’re supposed to be Graceful!! the whiteness of her feathers the graceful elegance so different, so unique her beautiful neck cradled Stretch again! Again Pivot! Twirl! Silhouette! Jessica.. more! I want more! even though she doesn’t fly I could! I could believe even just for a moment become like her, and fly to another place. Finally!

* Who Is Jessica ? Whomever Her Priceless Heart Seems So True And Beautiful, Sweet Beautiful Lorraine. Makes Me Think Of A Movie Called, 'Can't Buy Me Love,' Wherein Patrick Dempsey's Character Had A Line Which Went, 'Our Side Your Side Their Side, Man, That's A Bunch Of Crap, Its Hard Enough Just Trying To Be Yourself.' Love This Special Poem And Bless Her Precious Heart And Sweet Kisses To You, Rachel ‡
