Shirley Rebstock Poet Rhyme

A Moment In Time

Today I was cooking, cutting up tomatoes, my husband called me while mashing potatoes

"Hurry to the bedroom, they are playing a song, that has made me think of you all my life long"
Busy as I was, I was curious to see, what song made him think of me.
Down the hall, opening the door, my husband started dancing with me on the bedroom floor

The melody surrounded us like a cocoon, safe within his arms lost in the tune
"I have waited for you all my life" were the words of the song
We danced in that moment so long

A moment that brought tears to my eyes, My husband asked, "Why do you cry?"
"This moment, a gift you made mine, is a precious moment in time."

Back to the kitchen to do my chores, Treasuring a moment I will remember forever more.
