There is a girl
She is not necessarily graceful
Or talented
in any sort of way
She's not terribly pretty
And she's not the ugliest
You'd mistake her for the girl next to her
and the girl next to you
She has auburn hair
Bright orange enough to be different
Dark brown enough to be plain
She says she hates dancing
But every time it rains
You'll find her out by the lake
On the edge of town
Dancing on the moss and the grass and sand
Dancing in the rain
All alone
She looks kind of funny
And everyone talks about it
But no one lets her know
That it is known where she goes
when it rains
They'd rather not let something so
extraordinary that it is beautiful
be interrupted
That freckled girl still dances in the rain
