Cj Krieger Poet Prose Poetry

Before I Die I Will Dance

Before I die 
I will Dance
There will be no tears
Of sadness
And I will ask
That all my friends
Who come to say goodbye
Sing songs as they dance
Throughout the day
In memory of my life

Before I die
I will dance
To remember my younger days
When I danced up a storm
My feet 
Flying aimlessly about
While I danced 
With all the pretty ladies
Until one fateful day
I danced with the one
Who stole my heart
Who became my wife
Who danced by my side
Hand in hand

I danced with the one
Whose kisses were sweet
Whose arms kept me warm
During cold, cold nights
Whose dance matched my own
Step for step, heel for toe
Until the day that my tears
Stopped the dance
When 
She could no longer 
Dance at all 

Before I die 
I will dance

I will dance
To remember 
All of the other times
Before I grew old 
And felt God’s spirit
Lift me up
Lift me high
Filling my heart
Making me smile
Making me dance!

Before I die 
I will dance
With all that I have 
With all that is left
So that others might see
There is something in me

Before I die
I will dance… I will dance
I will dance
Dance
Dance
