• I watch as it
    twirls, swirls, and curls
    as she makes the ribbon dance in mid-air.

    She moves gracefully,
    a ballerina leaping on stage,
    dodging each turn and twist
    of the bright colored ribbon
    with ease.

    Though that ease she shows
    was not acheived over night,
    like how a city wasn't built in a day.
    Like everyone else she started out,
    a clumsy football player in figure skating.

    But with time and effort,
    that clumsy football player became,
    a light fairy playing with the sun's rays.
