Awww, this is sweet! Way to put yourself on the line and post it here--I know that takes some guts, especially when this is the first time you've tried it. I want you to toy with the iambic pentameter in this one and see if you can make it work. Remember that you need 5 stressed syllables per line. Here's yours:

my HEART beGINS to DANCE

You've got three! Let's see if we can build on this, with the same pattern of unstress-stress, and make it 5:

my HEART once MORE beGINS to LEAP and DANCE

All you'll need to do is "pad" it here and there. Nice start!
