Dance Anyway

Dance, then, wherever you may be; 

And I'll lead you all in the dance said he.

Dance Anyway

By Elece Hollis

Little flower in the grass

With leaves like hearts,

Fairies of February

Your tiny green buds 

Pop open white then 

Unfold to show pink

And I walk past.

You wave at passersby

But no one sees. You 

Are too plain––too small

The world takes no note;

You are no bright red tulip

No splendid rose; but dance 

In the chill breeze you will

And sing of spring coming!
