Could I have this Dance?

for the Rest of My Life

Mr. and the kids snuck downstairs, one evening,

and planned a little dance party for me.

Complete with disco lights,

refreshment table, and mood music!

Each of the boys had picked a song,

and each took their turn dancing with me. 

They had been instructed about eye-contact and conversation,

and it was really, really fun to talk with each one!

Even the Mr. had a song picked for a dance with me!

It made me think that one day,

there might be a girl dancing with one of my boys,

and thinking "he is the handsomest, guy ever!" 

and about how maybe someday, 

I'll be dancing with them at their weddings,

and all the things I'll want them to know,

as they take a bride-

I'm proud of you, 

Take good care of her, and

I love you.
