I am dancing with a rhythm of love and laughter
I feel the drums deep inside of me,
Calling me home to the land my body yearns to find
Dance! Dance! Dance!
Twirl with the beat of life
Flow gently with the wind
With a strength that holds the power of your mission
Dance! Dance! Dance!
To the flow of life reaching deep down to find your soul
To find the core that leads you to the center of your love
And bring forth the ectasy of commitment
Dance! Dance! Dance!
Bring forth your ancestors
They live inside of you who are the drum of their mission
Beat out the rhythm of their song so the world may hear it
Dance! Dance! Dance!
For your ancestors and carry them to the end
This dance is a journey for them
Which will end when your journey is complete
So Dance! Dance! Dance!

I have always loved this poem, Hilda! I wasn't home at 5:00 yesterday but at 11:00 I got all comfy on the sofa, waiting to see your interview. Well, by the time I woke up, it was all over and Jimmy Fallon was on! I am so disappointed because I was looking forward to seeing you. Oh, well, maybe I can see you on-line! Love you, Hilda!
