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)
