Come Dance With Me

“Come Dance with Me” Come dance with me the soldier said To the beautiful lady dressed in red. I’ll take you up to the stars in the sky, And in unison our feet will fly. We’ll dance on the clouds of fluff I’ll hold you tight but loose enough For you to twirl, or strut your stuff. We’ll laugh as we remember our yesterdays And our life together in so many ways. We’ll smile about our children, all doing well Who loved us deeply, and in our hearts will dwell We lived our last days apart from those we love, Hooked to machines we never dreamed of. Until the time when in unison we decided, There’s a better place where we’ll be undivided Where we’ll soar above this earthly din And dance in the heavens, for Him. Deborah M Kelly Ó 2020

A warm welcome to Poetry Soup Deb. You have warmed my heart with this sweet poem. I recently lost my mate of over 40 years, so I can relate deeply to your words. Blessings. Connie

They are leaving us and we need to remember them in poetry. Thanks for the wakeup call. Regards, RZ.

Delightful poem. One to which all of us older people can relate.

That's heart warming journey for the most part; why I wanted more I don't exactly know, it's a dance too short, yet sweetly seen.
