A ribbon or bow, her hair done just so
Sugar and spice ~ no it's Sweet Pea on ice

She skates to the line, it's her turn to shine
She sets up to start her skating is art

The music is peppy, just like Jess E
She glides and she spins, we watch with a grin

Her arms stretched wide as she silently glides
As the music ends, she bows to both ends

The crowd shows their joy by throwing stuffed toys
She scoops them all up, our sweet buttercup

We stand as we cheer, wave as she skates near
Results should come soon

She's over the moon!

Jess E's fast pace has earned her a first place
She's our number one and skating is fun


Work like money doesn't matter, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching...

I skated and then I didn't, but I enjoyed this special poem about it. Maybe I oughta look into the deep vastness of an upstairs closet before it's too late. Thanks for the cleverly-penned reminder that it ain't over 'til it is.

what I liked about this one is you really captured that feeling of the family in the stands cheering on their champion. Took me back to when my kids were young. There is nothing quite like being proud of our own. ~L

When kids are on ice, you always know where they are and what they're doing.

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.
