Tango with us
"Would you like to tango, darlin'?"
"I think I would be a little afraid."
"Of what?"
"Of making a mistake."
"No mistakes in the tango....If you make a mistake, get all tangled up, just tango on."
(If you cannot see the YouTube link to a scene from "Scent of a Woman," go here:

Tango!
You hold us close
Embracing us,
Showing us the moves
If we are willing to pay attention.
Tango!
If we do it right,
YOU will lead and we will follow.
But even if we misstep,
You are there,
Holding onto us,
Never letting us go.
And all the while,
Encouraging us to take that next step,
All mistakes forgiven.
Tango with us!
