I was a shy wannabe dancer, one who has no rhythm
But then I met you, infectious boogie-woogie flu
A dancing machine who hand-holding nudged me up
Made me drop my hang-ups, the power of love
Never was a bad influence on my widened spectrum
From intimate times of whispered words, I could do
To that raucous dance floor where we gave our love shouting
Out loud, with some driving DJ doubling your embrace of me
Just dance, just do it, always encouraging this stumbling guy
How I marveled at your opening me up back then
May love always prompt caring influencers like you
Your life forever lived like a poem composed to thoughtfulness
Gentle enabler of shy dance-less people without rhythm
Become for others the wind beneath their wings awhile.
