Dance Until the End
Whether rock-and-rolling or hip-hopping,
you move and groove so easily at first
when dreams are fresh. Oh, there is no stopping
that dance of youth when all is unrehearsed.
By the middle years, perhaps you’re spinning
(cavorting softer if your kids are sleeping).
Can you slow down if life is about winning?
Might you still be twirling as you’re weeping?
With tears of sometimes joy and sometimes grief,
it’s not too long before you’re dancing to
the Golden Oldies (turned that “final” leaf).
Be positive! Choose well the dance you do.
May you be blessed with grandkids and hand-clapping.
Pace yourself and keep those toes a-tapping!
