Fragile, elegant dancers take their first pose

Delicately tip-toeing across the icy cold floor

Faces exploding with expression the way a firework explodes with color

Exaggerating every emotion and action like a cheesy drama movie

Sparkles, pink and perfection everywhere you look as if you’re at a beauty pageant

Smiles fill our faces as music fills our hearts

The smell of finely-polished shoes and the crisp squeak echoes through the halls

One big family, with one big dream.

 

 

I always like summer best

You can run through the golf course sprinklers

Late at night

And have Nerf gun wars in the dark

And play night games with all of your friends

And play toothpick all afternoon

And stay up until the sun rises

Which starts another day filled with memories

And have hose wars

And do just nothing all together because you can

At late night parties

Set of huge fireworks

In the backyard

And at family cookouts

Celebrating

And driving golf carts

Even though we aren’t allowed

And eat popsicles

And have campfires

Where you tell scary stories

Where every neighbor is family

And nothing but that
