We’d dance swiftly; neither of us neat
First it would be me, then it would his turn to step on my feet.

We’d realize fast, didn’t work too great,
So we would slow down, making me smile at our fate.

As we dipped and swayed;
I felt my fear and tenseness fade

I lay my head in the crook of his neck

He sighed

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
