My Little Ballet Shoe

Just a shoe to some but to me not so, a treasure of love and delicate threads
An object so soft to touch it’s an object of deep thought
With freedom, greatness, nerves and happiness
A mix of emotions in a single soul
You remind me of the long hours dancing, flowing like the sea
You will be as precious as diamond to me

I have had great victories with you
Though some I have lost
You are with me forever no matter the cost
With shining gold ribbons of lace
So many happy memories ready to chase

I now hold in so close to me and think
My little ballet shoe, just mine.
