Slow dancing in the middle of the floor
Hip to hip, his hands hold her to him
her arms around his neck
he whisper in her ear

The saxophone sobs in the background
as they move, as they turn reluctantly
she throws back her head
and laughs delightfully

a private joke a secret suddenly revealed
He strokes her cheek and lifts her chin
they gaze into each others eyes
unaware they have an audience

A gentle kiss between two gentle souls
the piano hits a high note in celebration
the music ends their dance
but they still stay on the floor

Wrapped in their love they are oblivious
until jolted back to earth once more
a child’s voice calls out
Kiss Nanna again Grandad!
