Ballerina Princess

The art of dancing!

Elegance glows around her.

Dressed in comisole princess tutu,

ballet slippers on her feet,

flexable limbs stretch to music.

A beautiful artist as she moves about.

 

He sits in an area of remoteness,

watching her performance.

Intrigue with her dancing he smiles,

heart beats wildly.

 

In orbit, legs out streched,

she flies across the stage,

lands on pointed toes.

Whirls into a pirouette,

turning her body on one foot.

 

Extension of each limb,

posing in open side leap.

The audience claps.

Her balance grows more

graceful with each step.

 

She does a combination of jumps,

inclination to center stage.

All eyes wide.

Her speed and energy increases.

 

Serenity sweeps over him.

Salty love tears spill down his face.

She does her grand finale.

People jump to their feet.

 

She curtsies,

an angelica smile lights up her features.

 

He yells, "Bravo!"

 

"Did I do good daddy?"

 

He grabs her in a palpable hug.

Hands her a rose,

kisses her little ballerina face.

His heart swells with pride.

 

"Yes," he whispers.  "Bravo."
