Dancing Christmas Tree Rows
Ronald-Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)
Dancing down a narrow path,
A shaft.
To create,
To laugh,
To shout for joy,
To swing your arms
To the left
and to the right.
To not mock others
Of a smaller height,
And not those in plight,
But to dance
A dance
That makes everything alright.
To be in sight
Without fright.
To dance all the way
Through the night.
Head to toes
And Ears to nose.
I danced down
The cathedral rows.
I danced with those
Who dance for clothes.
To the homeless
I offer a dance
And a loving glance,
To feed those
Who needs clothes?
I offer them charity
Under dancing Christmas tree rows.
