She taught me to dance

On the stone tiles of her kitchen

Laughing

Spinning

With her I could be a child

Making cookies

Eating the dough

With her I was never too loud

With her my love was never too much

She planted my heart in the garden

Watered it till I overflowed

Taught me to dance

Taught me to love

Without her I don’t know who I am

The child I was

Or the woman I am
