Longtime Wish
I remember seeing her there
Slender figure, short blond hair
She glided across the country pond
Like at a fairy, I did stare
Of winter games, I was fond
Sled riding, snow angels and beyond
But I slid on ice in dowdy boots
I wished I could soar like the blond
And then one day just for hoots
We went to the rink, traded our boots
For skates like I’d seen several years back
Grace not one of my attributes
Skating skills my ankles did lack
I fell to my knees and on my back
Splat when I tried to spin or twirl
Lovely as a potato sack
When I go through gates of pearl
I wish to skate like that fairy girl
Spin and dip and leap and whirl
Spin and dip and leap and whirl
