For Susan and Her Momma

The last dance
a precious time
One last kiss
Oh Sublime

Please don't fight it
just let go
Feel our bodies
sway to and fro

Lean on me
I'll hold you steady
Just let me know
when you're ready

It's time to change
partners now
It's time to dance
with angels in the clouds

Go on now
take her hand
I'm sure it will
be just grand

Love you Dear
see you soon
Be waiting for me
with some fine old tunes

I'm sure we'll dance
again someday
Like we did
here today.

    Thank you Cara

    This was just perfect. It was like he wanted to dance the way he would want us to get him in and out of bed and he would put his head on our shoulder and his arms around our waist. Thank you for being such a loving friend.

    This poem was heart-rending but the 3rd and final stanzas really put a lump in my throat. It was a beautiful gesture to write this for your friend. I hope it helped her feel a little better.

    Parting is heartbreaking but we all have to deal with this at some time inour lives. This little poem may well make it just a little easier. Very well done.
