She twirls and twirls
like a merry go around
in her frilly new dress
and shiny, gold crown
A fair maiden is she
with wavy, golden hair
she dances every dance
in her mind he is there
As the music plays
two hearts beat fast
and every tender moment
is a gift that'll last
She can see him clear
in that faraway land
in the midst of war
he dances so grand
Across the ocean wide
two spirits does grow
they dance the night away
in their ballroom show
When the dawn is nigh
with the sun's early gleam
she continues to dance
like a music box queen
Susie Swanson, 2011

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I don't know myself sometimes how I come up with this stuff..lol.. It just finds me..
DeleteSusie, this is so sweet! It made me think of a musical jewelry box my mother had with a little lady twirling around. Her little granddaughters loved watching her.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I believe that's where I got the inspiration from..I have a little music box lady that plays music..Everytime I passed by her, words started forming in my mind..They are so pretty, my grandaughter loves it..Glad I could help with the sweet memories..

DeleteHi Susie! I love, your poem so much! It is just wonderful and it made me smile from ear to ear. It reminded me of the little white jewelry box my Grandma and Grandpa gave me when I was a girl. When you opened it up, it played the Nutcracker and there was a little blond ballet dancer with a crown that twirled round and round! This is really a neat poem Susie, it sounds almost like a fairy tale!
ReplyDeleteWe had a big rainstorm yesterday, with raging wind and a severe thunderstorm alert. It left everything a little wind blown but sparkling and refreshed I began a granny square afghan yesterday for our neighbor's little six year old girl. I found some ultra-sparkly pink yarn at Hobby Lobby, when I showed it to her, she squealed and just about popped, so I knew it was the right one! :) She and her little brother are such delightful children and they bring me a lot of joy.
They don't have a lot of modern toys and video games and their mother crochets and makes them dolls and stuffed animals. They are so appreciative of any little thing you give them. It really touches my heart. Have a great day tomorrow and I really appreciate all the support Susie and the sweet comments you have left on my new blog! With Love, Delisa :)
It's so good to hear from you Delisa, so sory you had a bad storm..We've had quite a few here too..Katie will be so happy with her afghan..It's just like to put a smile on someone's face..Thank you so much..
DeleteThat is so sweet, Susie! And the music is perfect with it, too.
