Haiku my heart- swimming...

diving in water

her awkward fearless beauty

surfacing happy

I never learned to swim... which is why it has been so important for my daughter to learn. I love how passionate she is about being in the water. It takes all kinds of bribery to get her out of the pool.

Maybe one day she will inspire me to give it a try.

Can't be a mermaid if you don't know how to swim.
