When did I forget to dance?
Seriously, no night out,
nor a dance partner
since 2011 or is it?
When did I forget to dance?
Does dancing
at the steering wheel count?
Dancing to Disney Music.
When did I forget to dance?
Splashing in the rain?
Our feet move in a dancing stomp.
Raindrops. Nature's music.
When did I forget to dance?
Standing in the grocery line.
We sway to the tune overhead.
I hope that too counts as dancing.
When did I forget to dance?
Arms wide to the wind
feet swirl me like a pinwheel.
I feel like that counts.
When did I forget to dance?
Sleep deprived grandma
swaying his little body
we danced a lullaby two step.
When did I forget to dance?
I didn't.
I just don't
dance like I use to.
My grandbabies
will remember
that Grandma
Never forgot how to dance for them.
