Being careful of who you want to dance with-if only for a moment :-)
The music was loud in the old town
that night so long ago,
the place to be as everyone
in the community did show
Candles, food and drinks were everywhere
horses, drawn buggies in the moonlight,
dancing was always a big hit
townsfolk dressed in their finest that night
Aone, in a corner is where she sat
as people related the story to me,
pretty but shy no one asked her to dance
there was a longing in her heart, no one did see
After several drinks she made this boast
" I'll dance with the devil if he's up to it"
no one noticed the handsome stranger before
" Dance with me-you'll see I'm fit!"
Her friends felt a chill-she laughed it off
took the stranger on to the dance floor,
she felt as if she was walking on air
he never got tired-she wanted more
He did something bold, no one did before
held her tight-gave her a passionate kiss,
her mind felt like the room was going around
this was a man she didn't want to miss
He took her by the hand and out the door
said "Come away forever to dance with me"
his horse drawn buggy she had never seen
so beautiful it was to see
Just then her Pastor's voice spoke so clear
" You again! What did you come here for?"
the stranger said " I was just leaving
I felt someone cry for something more"
It was then the girl saw who he really was
someone she knew from Church History,
one unlike any man she did know
a wandering spirit-lost in eternity
" Leave now!" said the Pastor being so bold
" As you wish-thank you for the dance my dear"
before he cracked the whip for his horse to move
" perhaps I will return-same time next year?"
He moved quickly down the path and was gone
the old Pastor said with a kindly face,
" You should be careful what you wish for
even in this quiet old place!"
So be careful what you wish for my friends
even if you're alone-on a dance floor,
you may be asked to dance with somebody nice
or with someone you never bargained for!
