“The little Ballerina”

By Jason Kirk Bartley



The little ballerina,

Stares intently at her reflection in a large mirror,

Dad watches from afar,

Daddy loves his little daughter,

to him she’s a bright and shining star,

As she twirls around,

Her tutu flutters in the air,

Circling round and round,

She extends each arm,

Interlocking them here and there,

She tip-toes and then she lunges,

right upon her bedroom floor,

she tip-toes and then she twirls a little more,

Her hair is up in a bun,

And a flowered head band is wrapped upon her little head,

She continues dancing to finish her routine,

so she can rest up in her bed.

But Daddy continues watching,

Such a beautiful sight so fair,

‘Cause his little girl puts in such grace and dedication,

Her beauty does not compare,

Daddy’s little ballerina continues dancing across the bedroom floor,

Daddy’s little ballerina steals his heart forevermore.
