My dancer and poet

My daughter Madi is a wonderful dancer who continues to amaze me with her incredible talents and dedication. She wrote this poem at school that I thought was also pretty amazing so I wanted to share it with all of you.

The choice to be made

The big decision, here it comes.

This will make me the one I want to become.

I try to start, I run, I run, run.

I psyche myself out, I land on my bum.

My teacher yells, what's the matter with you!?

You can't give up, you could of flew!

You can make the choice when you start.

You can make a work of art.

I go back and I start again.

This one I feel I can attain.

I jump and I fly.

Higher than the sky.

The feeling I had was all so great.

My legs were all so straight.

Because of the choice I made.
