Analysis of Next Dance?



Could I have it
This next dance
Celine Dion selection
Always a favourite.
You are so beautiful
Attentive
Sparkle to your blue eyes.
You don’t talk
Just sway
Perhaps giggle.

This is our thing
Comes naturally.
The embrace a treasure.
Most often nobody
Else there as
I pick you
Out of your Crib.
Little Princess.
My Lauren.

My firstborn.
You will love Celine
And Carrie
And Willie
And Kenny.
In increasing measure.
You decorated my Life.
