My First Dance

My First Dance

I remember my mama did hair
In my natural state and decorated it with a red flower
She dressed me white dress and matching shoes
In the background played our favorite tunes.
She hummed the music and so I did too
And then he walked in. Humming the song too.
His smile lit up my life
His presence made everything in my world alright
I felt absolutely safe with he was around
He made me laugh
Wiped my tears
Scared the boogieman and eased my fears.
To the song we all hummed along to.
He had just got off work and said he'd be right back
My mama continued to tease my hair.
Moments later he came back downstairs..
In a nice blue shirt
I could see the twinkle in his eye
When he looked my way I saw the reflection of me
I smiled instantly.

The music played

Mama just finished my and told me go freshen up
I ran into the bathroom and did what I was told

The music played

I ran back into the living room to see mama and him dance
He held her close
She smiled and laughed
He followed suit..
The love they had I felt too..

The music played

It was my turn and he took my hand
And said "Can I have this dance"
He twirled me
And held me close as our song played
Mama took pictures to capture this moment
One of the best times spent

The music played
I lived in it.
The music played
We danced to it.
The music played
He loved me endless

The music ended..
He gave me a kiss on the cheek
"I love you babygirl." is what he told me
My reply, "I love you too daddy."

I will always remember my first dance.
