Dance Floor from Love Says by Beth Patterson
The poet Hafiz is my favorite of all and somehow feels like my friend. This song was inspired by this poem and my work as a clinical social worker.
If God,
Invited you to a party
And said,
βEveryone
In the ballroom tonight
Will be my special
Guestβ
How would you treat them
When you,
Arrived?
Indeed, indeed!
And Hafiz knows
There is no one in this world
Who
Is not upon
His Jeweled Dance
Floor.

Lyrics
On your dance floor only lovers
On your dance floor only love
A silent symphony is moving me
Iβm learning how to love
On your dance floor none forgotten
All beloved, treasured, loved
When I begin to see, this reality
Iβm learning how to love
Chorus
Heaven has no favorites
No walls, or edges too
Join in a new creation
Youβre me and I am you
On your dance floor all invited
One family, treasured loved
Come & dance, come create with me
Learn how to really love
Chorus
Heaven has no favorites
No walls, or edges too
Join in a new creation
Youβre me and I am you
A silent symphony is moving me
Iβm learning how to love
Learn how to really love
