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. BTS ...just bein' Bluesy |

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. |
