August 2 is Mom’s birthday and I dedicate this poem to her and Dad and smile as I remember them dancing around the living room to the sounds of the record player.
Love and miss ya,
Me
A Step Away
Lets put on the rockabilly
and two-step the night away
Or does Hawaiian music
sound better
to remind us of our trip there?
Or does a waltz or tango
get you in the dancing mood?
Cause once we dance
Romance is just
a step away.
This brought a tear to my eye. It’s such a sweet image watching them dance without a care in the world.
Mom & Dad loved to dance and when they couldn’t go out they just danced at home. Actually that’s how I learned about Big Band music and Broadway show tunes. Such fond memories…
I’m the same way. I grew up listening to Broadway show tunes because of my grandparents. Happy birthday to your mom, and to you (because I read it’s this weekend).
Thanks Rigel.
