She Wants To Be A Ballerina |

She wants to be a ballerina she does a little dance… kicks up her feet her arms flit here and there she sways to a slow song-- sometimes there is no song but she dances a dance like no other her own version of everything in her little soul! She wants to be a ballerina… She wants to be a rodeo girl! She wants to ride the big horse-- Duke is his name And she’s in heaven Sitting high above the world Atop a gentle honey colored giant She wants to circle the barrels And carry the American flag She wants to hear the crowd roar With excitement! She wants to be a rodeo girl… She’s an angel in a little body Golden curls teasing her precious face And sweet little neck Her wings of glitter and soft white cloud Are hidden from adult view-- But I’m sure she’s an angel Sent here to teach me a thing or two Sent here to show me that even I Need to slow down sometimes To watch a caterpillar in the leaves To pick a flower for a friend To find a pretty rock— And save it! No matter what she wants to be She’s an angel loaned to me as a gift She’s my angel For a little while… -dgvarner 42603 "If you suppress laughter, it goes down and spreads out your hips."- Steve Allen |

Let her be all those things...soon enough she'll have to settle for only three or four of her dreams - but while she's young...let her live them all! This is precious, I love your new photo, and I certainly agree... this is a most precious angel! |

Well, of course you KNOW I love this. I think this is one of my favorite 'Joie' poems...and I love them ALL. LOL I know you always write your heart, but especially so when you write of her. This put a huge smile on my face. Love and hugs to you and Jojo, ~Aunt Tricks "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

I do not think anyone enjoyed reading that Joie poem more than her Grandmama MiMi . How beautiful and you are beautiful for always writing from your heart. She will fulfill her dreams one day. God is in her heart and she will know she can do anything her heart desires. She is truly an Angel! |

dg, this poem and picture is just perfect. It's so precious. And I'm glad that it is back at the top for Mother's Day. It's such a loving poem from a Mother to her little girl. Oh, here's a picture I found of a litlle Angel for your little Angel to see. I hope she likes it..... (photo from webshots) Thank you for writing from your heart. Hugs, Ethel |
