Remembering your
Pink ballet slippers
That fit in the palm of my hand.
Your blonde pigtails bouncing
With ribbons
Tiny toes pointed
Back straight
Round little tummy
Trying to pull in
The look of concentration
In those beautiful blue eyes
It seems that I blinked
And….
Now, powerful
Soaring leaps
Controlled tight, precise turns
Elegant arabesques
The look of love in your eyes
As your art is perfected
You dance with
Your heart, mind, and body.
Your love touches me
And others around you
As you dance as a woman.
Many, many pairs
Of pink ballet slippers
Worn through the toes.
Signs of devotion.

Interesting piece as I took tap, ballet, ballroom and later graduated to toe and when it was my daughters turn, they too learned the art. Fascinating piece...
Be always safe,

| As a former ballerina, and now as a mother of a young daughter, I immediately connected with these lovely lines. How wonderful that you have nurtured this journey and can now join in the beauty and fulfillment it brings. |

Wow this allows us to look at Sonja through your eyes as clearly as if we had watched her also grow through the years and now watch her dance ourselves with pride and love...
