Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

The Dance

Humming the song
    a memory glides
       Back to the moment
         and a magical ride
              

A toddling child
    I'm taking delight
        He is holding my hands
            I am hanging on tight

I'm standing on Daddy's
    leather brown shoes
       While sweeping the floor
            together we move

The tenderness brings
    a moment sublime
         My memory still sings
             as the rhythm keeps time

His favorite song, blue
    will treasure that day
         Enchantment we knew...
             as the radio played

James Foulk August 9, 2008 at 10:39 AM a very touching piece of warm poetry. thank you for reading my breaking hearts and for your comment. yes Betty Davis and Henry Fonda, Jezebel, i had forgotten about that movie. i was not thinking about that when i wrote this poem, it just ended up that way. a great movie though.
