Dancers

Six youthful dancers at the peak of physical fitness,
But time was cruel: their beauty withered and arthritis set in.
They will remain young and beautiful for ever in the photo.

Wouldn't it be grand if we could stay the way we look in those old photos? The photo gave you some great inspiration and the second line brought me a giggle. Then reality set in in the final line. This should do very well in the ballet contest, Jack. Best wishes for success! Love, Carolyn
