From the moment she existed
The heavens spoke her name
I knew even if I resisted
I’d be spellbound just the same
A star was in my presence
With a rhythm all her own
Storing a graceful essence
That someday would be known
So sensitive and pure of heart
Her affection has no end
Always first to make a start
With a down trodden friend
She dances through your very soul
Her beauty shining through
Best foot forward, in control
Motioning to you
With caring arms, she’s on the scene
A wisdom beyond her days
Performing gently like a dream
Magnetic in her ways
Her eyes smile with a purity
A talent truly rare
Exposing such maturity
Where others never dare
If hurt should show up at her door
At times too hard to greet
Her patience spins across the floor
Refusing to lose her beat
With elegance, she moves in time
Her steps she’s free to choose
Filling arenas in her mind
A momentum she can’t lose
Julie, now the world’s your stage
Stride proudly and be glad
But I’ll always see that tender age
Of the daughter I never had
