Gypsy Girl
"Dancing Gypsy"
Once upon a time
and as the story goes...
I met a free-spirited Gypsy Girl
Sweeter than any rose
She danced into my life that day
My head was down like rain
Through the puddles of my pain
Why are you so happy?
When I feel so damn low?
"You're free to dance with me" she said
"No one needs to know!"
I found the courage to stand
And made the choice to dance
Unless I was prepared to change
I didn't stand a chance
She held my hand and helped me up
And showed me her first move
You don't need to start with anything
Just a smile will make you groove
Dancing in the downpour
My face a beaming glow
I turned and found Gypsy Girl
Had changed into a rainbow
Remember rain doesn't last forever
And happiness brings the sun
So dance away your troubles
Till a rainbow has begun

I don't know if you're ready for this level of praise, but I rang my mother and read "Gypsy Girl" to her. I think I got even more goosebumps on this second reading. Mum, who has written a few poems in her time, was equally enthusiastic.
Brilliant.
Thank you.
Regards,
Chris

Thanks very much for your feedback. The best part for me about poetry is how it can reach out and touch people.
I'm glad you & your Mum enjoyed it.
Kind regards
