Whitney's Dance


She cannot talk
Nor can she walk
But she'll show you
How to dance
If given half a chance.
She will wiggle
To get away from your tickle
That's if she doesn't stop to giggle.
She'll asked a million questions
And reach for your affection.
If you tell her "No!
She gives you that look like
"Oh yeah! Who says so?"
She will reveal her playfulness
Just to cure your sadness.
When she is angry!
She reveals a not so sweet mood
And her Mom says, "Your just
Like your Daddy."
If you need nurtured
She quickly becomes a loving mother.
She may not be able to talk or walk-
But if given half a chance
She shows life's Spirit dance
In every circumstance.
