Let Us Dance

Today I would like to share a poem with you by none other than…..My DAD. It’s called “Let Us Dance” and I think it’s an excellent illustrtation of living life to the fullest. Hope you enjoy!

There is something about a dance, that makes the world seem right. Far away from the real world, away from struggles or fright.

You can’t really explain it, although it is much like a dream. The two of us in a bubble, as if we were a team.

The dream goes on, the night is young. And we are united. We are one.

No desire to sit just yet, we truly are taking a chance. Two have met and become one, not love but surely romance.

One step, two step My mind is in a spin. Just moving to the feeling, like clouds in the wind.

The music must be rhythmic, the beverage, that of choice. It seems like when I dance, it gives me a special voice.

A voice to say who I am, to say that I am free. To say that at this moment anyone can I be.

It seems to be just the two of us, the lights are very low. No one else in our universe, just moving to and fro.

My heart is beating faster, I did not know I could feel this way. I wish this moment could last forever, forever and a day.

But when the dance is over, and reality must set in. I dream about the dancing as I join the world again.
