When I Was! Poem by Adrienne Clark Strachn

When I was a young innocent girl
I mean when I was a young innocent
virgin girl,
my dance was cute, funny, I'd shake a little
put one foot out 'yea',

Then when I noticed boys,
my dance was became a little enticing.
But, when I became a woman
I would throw my head up in the air
swing my hair around,
shake these gyrating hips like I was
doing my native dance
put on a little smile,
wink just a little
I would be calling you
pointing my finger directly to you
calling you silently, so you know
I want you .. you, you
oh, I wouldn't always know
who you were
but nature was taking over and
my desire was coming to life.
I am not afraid ... this is natural

When I was a young innocent girl
my smile would spread over my face
I loved to hear my parents and family
say 'you dance good baby'
back in the day.
Teenagers have something to prove
A woman, now you see

This smile is for you baby
my legs moving all over the floor
hips moving and jiggling all
for you
hoping that you will come dance with me
A sweet groove like I'm doing to you.
Can I get a dance baby
Lets move together
dance with me
forever.
