Because I Dance

 
Because I dance doesn't mean that I am weak.
It doesn't mean that my "sport" is unimportant.
Because we dancers use tights and pink tutus.
Becuase we're dancers we sweat, and we work.
Because we're dancers simply means one thing;
We work until we simply cannot work anymore.
We work until our feet bleed, and our muscles are torn.
True athletes work until they simply cannot anymore,
And that is what dancing is all about.

A Dancer's Prayer

Dear angel, Ever at my side
Be there today, my feet to guide.
Help me to dance high, light, and free,
So that everyone will be proud of me.
May the judges be fair and the stages be spacious.
In winning and losing let me be gracious,
So that every dance I'll remember with pride.
And angel, please keep my ribbons tied.

One Day To Dance

Bending, gliding, turning
My little girl heart yearning,
stretching , jumping, learning
rising, darting and dreaming.

One day to dance
in front of a real audience,
But for now my heart discern,
There is so much to learn.
