For Lexi
(on the day she qualifies for the state meet)
Poised and perfect she stands,
a gentle arch in her hands,
the point in her toes
tells me she knows,
today she must make her last stand.
She flashes those saphire blue eyes,
in a manner that deftly belies,
the heart turned and tossed
by confidence lost,
she’ll dance under this sassy guise.
Her blonde hair is braided up tight,
shes ready to put up a fight
her muscles are taut
with this gumption she’s brought,
determination is now set alight.
The jewels on her leo just sparkle,
her purpose is no longer darkled,
the first notes float through
and she knows what to do,
today she will be remarkable.
