The Little Ballerina

The studios have closed hours ago,
But the young ballerina remains,
Twirling and humming in the dark,
Her toes are swollen and bruised,
Limbs almost numb,
Sweat trickles down her forehead,
And tears down her cheeks,
She twirled a little more,
For the ballerina she loved most,
Her heart felt weak for a moment,
"This is for you Mama."
