I choreographed this dance to honor my grandchildren (the first of which was a girl so I constantly listened to “Isn’t She Lovely”). As each was born, I added to a poem I had written where I finished with “I pray for them day and night and hope they always know that they are loved and beautiful no matter where they go.” From the day they were born, I write to each grandchild every week (each has their own day) and remind them that they are loved and beautiful.
Start on “Isn’t she lovely” words
