May I Have This Dance

Let me hold you dear
in pursuit of life’s whole dance
each step perfection
each smile a contrast of love
made on earth yet in heaven.

Any woman would love to dance with a man who views life as you do, Harry. Lead the way to the dance floor. Wishing you success in Barbara's contest! Love, Carolyn

beautiful poem....snowball is my new puppy he is a boy....my son named him because of his color. He is more like a blizzard full of fury.
