“Shall we dance?” he so gently asked,
And though I was but a teen,
I took his hand, and oh! we danced
Here and there and in-between...
Life carried on, and its crushing weight
Was nearly all I could stand...
“Shall we dance?” he so gently asked
And, again, I took his hand.
We lost touch again…family, friends,
Filled my time – my nights and days,
“Shall we dance?” he so gently asked,
How I’d missed his loving gaze!
“Shall we dance?” he so gently asked,
Though I’d become much too frail,
Still, I took his hand, and oh! we danced
To a life beyond the veil...
