For Allison........

The dancing girl<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>
Little by little
My spirit is grows
Twisting and turning
Like water it flows
<O:P></O:P>

Never give up
<?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><ST1:STATE><ST1:PLACE>Ill</ST1:PLACE></ST1:STATE> never give in
The dancing is beautiful
She’ll cry till she’s in
<O:P></O:P>

The crowd is impressed
And the seating it shows
She dances and twirls
The faster she goes
<O:P></O:P>

Bigger and bigger
She knows that she’s won
My seat becomes empty
I stand till she’s done
<O:P></O:P>

A smile and a kick
A laugh and a cry
She flies to the moon
But she is still shy
<O:P></O:P>

And I wonder where
Or how this is true
Watching her spinning
I prayed that was you
<O:P></O:P>

You eyes and your smile
These feelings grow fast
The dancing girls pony
Is lonely at last
<O:P></O:P>

But you understand
As I open my mouth
Laughing is normal
And its running south
<O:P></O:P>

I sit with you love
Different from rest
Watching the dancing
And smirking at best
<O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>

You are with me
And I see the truth
You’re eyes do the dancing
I’m looking at you
<O:P></O:P>

You don’t need to jump
You don’t need to spin
You dance without moving
Again and again
<O:P></O:P>

the dancing girl done
Every person in stare
The world can’t stop looking
I don’t even care
<O:P></O:P>

You are beside me
Not like that girl
You don’t have to dance
You don’t have to twirl
<O:P></O:P>

Your beauty is lonely
And kept down within
It comes out in smiles
Again and again
<O:P></O:P>

You don’t need to wear it
Its easily found
Held in your caring
Your feet on the ground
<O:P></O:P>

Your singing is silent
More lovely than all
The faster I run
The harder I fall
<O:P></O:P>

My eyes set upon you
Its here that ill stay
Trapped in your beauty
My favorite place
<O:P></O:P>

And when you touch me
My armor it falls
And all of the weakness
The greatness it calls

With you I am finally
A bird who has wings
You are my rock
And you are my swing
<O:P></O:P>

The higher I go
The safer I feel
Love can’t be scary
With you at the wheel
<O:P></O:P>

You hair on your shoulders
the world only knew
There’s nowhere that I’d rather be
Than with you
<O:P></O:P>

And when you smile
I finally fall
My knees to the ground
To you that I call
<O:P></O:P>

My love you are all
My love you are there
<ST1:STATE><ST1:PLACE>Ill</ST1:PLACE></ST1:STATE> hold you forever
My first and last care
<O:P></O:P>

So the dancing girl dances
But you stand alone
The world on your shoulders
Brighter than home
<O:P></O:P>

You’re beauty it shines
Past makeup and clothes
Its lies all around you
It dances and flows
<O:P></O:P>

While the world is staring
At the dancing girls show
They line up behind her
All waiting to go
<O:P></O:P>

But you play the music
And dance on your own
And they can not see you
And I am alone
<O:P></O:P>

The only thing real
The only one true
My world has stopped turning
And I look at you
<O:P></O:P>

Greatest dancer of all
A gift from above
I finally believe
This thing they call loveEdited by: jclapt38

That's a beautiful poem, Jeff. [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]I especially like these lines...
...You don’t need to jump
You don’t need to spin
You dance without moving
Again and again...

...Your singing is silent
More lovely than all
The faster I run
The harder I fall...

...So the dancing girl dances
But you stand alone
The world on your shoulders
Brighter than home...

Lucky girl, that Allison! [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]
