After "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes

Little Sis, let me tell you

Life ain’t been a simple dance for me

It’s had harder steps

And longer songs

And places where I wanna stop

But I keep dancin’

I’ve been twistin’ and turnin’

And splittin’

But I’ve never stopped dancin’

So sis, don’t ever stop dancin’

‘Cause you’ll find it’s hard

To keep on goin’.

Don’t you dare stop

‘Cause I’m still goin’

And life ain’t been a simple dance for me.
