"Tempted to get tired But I can't Until I've asked you to poetry dance With me Two nights Would be too short In this brief life So we dance for life
I'll bring my pen If you'll come with your open Heart smile We'll celebrate things we can depend on Never flowing out of style Like this I surely do Let me know If this is a good rhyme for you"
