let’s dance

there will always be

more meals to make 

dishes to do 

laundry to load 

there will always be

more groceries to get

reasons to rush 

tasks to tend

but there won’t always be 

a baby on my hip 

who wiggles and jiggles 

to the music in the kitchen 

so let’s dance 

baby boy 

let’s laugh and spin 

because this is the moment 

I live for
