Flounce your tutu, br My Child, br Of Self confidence br Perched on the toes br Of the Faith in yourself! br br I watch you br Dear One, br Sure that you br Can do it! br br I urge you silently br Shed that fear... br And do the pointe... br Step up on your toes br br Now! br br Ah yes! Let your br Hands lift, so gently, br Gracefully, br Curve upwards. br br And I hold my breath... br The first step- br Swaying, dipping, br A flourish... br br And then, br br br You give me the magic br In that leap- br And the pirouette- br Spinning, and spinning... br br Slowing... br br Stopping. br Flushed! br br Then you curtsy.
