To Ella, on being a Ballerina

You seem to step lightly where ever you go. It does not seem to have anything to do with your height and frame...it has to do with your graceful little movements..the careful footwork. The walking and skipping and twirling on tippy-toes. Even when you're running through the water at the wading pool. When you were still in-utero there was something magical, and mysterious about you. Something fairylike. Now here you are, determined, strong-willed and lovable. You love to dance. You love music. You love to pretend you are the prima ballerina. You are Odette in Swan Lake. You are wonderfully imaginative, graceful, whimsical. You are definitely the queen of fairies.
