Array ( [sid] => 54440 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To the ballerina in army boots [time] => 2004-07-01 21:25:48 [hometext] => Written to my sweet little ballerina sister who is off to join the army in this her 19th year. Her birthday is on the 6th and I have written this poem for her. I'd like to hear what you think. I hope she finds what she is looking for and can be happy. [bodytext] => Dedicated to my sister Eve

Hey there birthday girl
With your smiles so sweet
Your life’s started to unfurl
And you’re finding your feet

You’re spreading your wings
You’re testing you’re depths
You’ve just cut your strings
And you’ve taken the next steps

Can’t wait to watch your journey
To see how far you fly
So proud to see you learning
So proud to see you try

I know that your life
Is yours to direct
And I’ll pray every night
That good memories you’ll collect

Don’t ever be afraid
Of the leap you have taken
This decision you have made
Brings new life you’ve awakened

You’re funny and kind
And you’re sexy and bold
And these assets combined
Are worth your weight in gold

Never feel lost
In the big world out there
Cause you’re home at the cost
Of a quick trip through the air

I hope you are set free
And you find the real you
Always be the best you can be
Nobody does it like you do

Have a happy birthday
And have a happy year
I just wanted to say
To me you are so dear

Oh my goodness, what a strong brave young woman. I know you are so proud of her because the love and admiration shines so in your poem. Wish her happiness for me.

Smiles,
Rita
