Prompt / Lyrics
But thats not the start, nor is that the end, sit down & I’ll tell u a story my friend. It starts with a pup, a litter of friends all pick one by one until a fine home their in. this little pup is special & it's family's love too They filled the with home joy & toys & food Sparkle, they called her & love came with ease her eyes were her namesake along with smiles that pleased, So happy, in fact that soon they had three. How perfect it is, they often would say, The baby, puppy & we And yes it was perfect as days turned to weeks & weeks 2 months It happened one day she woke from the nap to find little Yanyan & dad trying a dance. Yanyan wearing something new that smells rather neat, but it was the twirling, the spin of her little feet. That brought forth the Sparkle, her name sake so true she rushed in jumping & spinning too. Father laughed & Yanyan squealed as she tried to copy & dance “Oh Sparkle my dear, dogs can’t do ballet” Ballet she thought with a huff, why not I’ve even got the natural fluff. But with a few gentle sits & treats she did as told & instead she watched & memorized the dances & holds. Once it was dark alone in the yard she bend & she spun & she leap all night long. She practiced the turns, jumps, dancing to her inner song And days turned to weeks & weeks turned to months & Sparkle she practice alone in the dark. As time passed, that love grew fast, & she wanted practices to last & last. So she crept out alone when no one was home & spin for the squirrels & the ravens & crows. The perfecting the moves each fluid & smooth her reflection grew brighter and those that watched too Days turned to weeks & weeks turned to months & the family noticed something was odd & not adding up. She was tired all day & hardly played "Guess dogs just get old that way." If only they knew her love sparkled through the moment she started to dance, And days turned to months & months turned to years, time passed fast my dears Sparkle she danced & gathered up fans but her family was non the wiser to her beautiful dance. But just like the day it happens by chance or the universe's hand Home early & up late they meet for some cake & called to their beloved Sparkle When she didn’t come, they searched and found none But there was noise in the yard So they wandered out in coats, flashlight in hand and called out her name Sparkle it rang but returned as a horn so they wandered further and further from home past the curves and piled of snow they found a most wonderful show. Animals cheering, honking & singing out in delight at the beautiful dancer fluffy & bright. Her fur glistened as snow caught the light & Sparkles she twirled and jumped in the moonlight And when at last her eyes land on them, she extended her paws and asked them to dance. ( Chorus) Sparkle the ballerina dog She heard her call Sparkle the ballerina dog Dance & shined for them all
