A Perfect Partner

The clouds above and the grass below

Bring them to a happy space

That she has now grown

“Dance with me, Darling!”

He speaks into the breeze

The dance begins graceful

Even if her heart doesn’t beat

Her arms do not move

Her waist does not twist

He does not care

That her body is twigs

Out he goes, with a spin and returns

The best dance partner

That smells of the sun

She doesn’t speak, nor does she sway

Nothing in the world can ruin his day today

She’s the perfect girl

Chose just for him

When the planting was done

He called her “his gem”

For beauty is all he could see in her “eyes”

A hummingbird dances and devours any flies

She waits for him and holds his hands tight

She will still be there through morning and night…
