Teach me to dance

Open my eyes

so I can see

what ought be

most important to me

.

As with this hibiscus tree

symbolizing love and passion

The delicate beauty

of our togetherness

to nurture and share

.

Open my ears

so I can hear

the music play

.

Teach me to listen for the music

Teach me to be in the moment

Teach me to dance

so I can feel complete

.

Through your heart

I can see the light

.

“Without love,

we are birds with broken wings“

A poem of “an old man, a young man, and life’s greatest lesson” and about a book called “tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom
