Ballerina

She sways like a flower amidst the wind
Bending but never breaking with each blow
She dances with grace even in the rain
Steady and unshaken, always aglow

She floats like a swan in the silver lake
Undulating smoothly and ever free
She glides with ease, leaving waves in her wake
Enchanting and charming, always with glee

She gallops like a gazelle, ever swift
Flowing beautifully yet always bold
She moves with balance on her every shift
Leaping in the field, a sight to behold

She has within her true strength and beauty
She can handle whatever comes her way
