a sweeter song

A sonnet for English class :)


I am the floor beneath the dancer's feet,
The shining, vast expanse under her toes
Where melody and sweetest motion meet-
I'll be the stem so you can be the rose.

I'll hold you up and watch you from below,
Your beauty as you twirl and spin and soar.
The greatest gift that I could e'er bestow,
Each precious step you take to give support.

For anywhere you go I won't be far-
A firm foundation never leaves you 'lone.
If you choreographed your way into the stars,
I'd compose a sweeter song to bring you home.

So rest your weary feet on solid ground,
And dance where trust and faithfulness are found.
