Five Minute Friday- I Never Dance Alone

He taught me how to dance

music on

hands up

boogie down

just like that

and I was a quick learner

the music found me

and led me

across the floor

across the yard

across the play ground

as I found myself

sharing

learning

laughing

while dancing with my girls

during recess

just like that

and eventually

the music slowed down as

I fell in love with dancing

and him

requiring the lesson to

start all over again

as I taught our children

music on

hands up

boogie down

just like that

So this morning, I took one look

at him

at them

at us

and the prompt for the day

grateful for all of the times spent

dancing with daddy

dancing with my girls

dancing with my man

and my kiddos

realizing that I am blessed

with many dance partners

which fills me

with an overwhelming sense of

freedom

fun

joy

to hold me even during those times when...

I dance alone
