Nina, The Ballerina

Her aunt had raised her from birth,
Her parents had died and her aunt had
given her a good life. Nina was a happy
child. She had went to the best schools.

She loved dancing and she became a ballerina.
Her aunt had just died and Nina was so sad.
She had a performance tonight and she was the
star. She was so sad but she had to do this.

Nina, pretty ballerina. Now, she is the
queen of the dancing floor. Just like Cinderella.
She felt like her aunt was with her every step of
the way. She was Cinderella in this ballet.

What would she do now? The young man she loved
had asked her to marry him. She said she wasn't
ready. She would only be dancing for five more years.
She was ready to say yes to her boyfriend now.

The ballet was over and she had seen him in the
audience applauding. She briefly saw her aunt
and a rose fell from above. Nina felt better.
She would always miss and love her aunt.

It was time to move forward. He had bought her
flowers and embraced her. She told him that she
was ready to marry him. He kissed her passionately.
Nina, felt like Cinderella. Things would be alright.
