Ballerina Twirling
She turned
I smile
Reached for her
Twirling in a pink ballerina costume
Dark brown eyes sparkle, flecks of green
Long eye lashes
Curly dark brown hair falls over one eye
Twirling, twirling, twirling, twirling
Magical fairy wand plays a silly tune
Giggles, laughter
My breath is torn from me
Sitting silent
Feeling alone
Watching my sons
Blinking loudly
Hope dashing
Husband’s sad eyes
Precious pink ballerina not twirling
Not for me
Not yesterday
Not today
Hysterectomy
Gone
Seek healing
Physical & emotional
Health restored
Love… All of these are mine
Shattered dream
Shattered hope
Magical fairy wand
Lays unmoved in my lap
I loved you
The dream of you
I love you now
One day I will find you
In my dreams
In my prayers
You will be there
Twirling, twirling, twirling, twirling
For my best friend- to heal the loss of your little girl & the hysterectomy that chased your dream away. One day…One day.
