Mambo Music
Mambo music played all night long
Bringing such joy with every song
Teenage girls flirting with the boys
Dancing kids with their blinking toys
Mambo music plays in my mind
Tonight our broken spirits shined
We are back home now and their asleep
Didn’t take long to count their sheep
Taking them out was a blessed time
They drank soda and I drank wine
There is so much pain in our life
Husband died…I’m a widowed wife
But something about that Mambo
Dancing rhythms of the bongo
It grabbed my sorrow tore my grief
And brought us all needed relief
Billions of people feel this way
Does it get better none can say
Having your love stripped from your life
Managing the house still in strife
Never would I wish this on you
Broken inside feeling so blue
Mambo music brought a smile
Music and time heal with style
(pure fiction....and dedicated to my best friend)
