Dancing Through Life

Let me dance a slow dance with time
skipping and hopping in a straight line
without twists or turns,
without pocks in the sidewalk
to trip, fall down and bruise-up
this child's knees.

Let me dance, jump and pirouette
with hip-hop soft-shoe tap dancing;
maybe a tango, maybe a waltz,
maybe a drum-line, maybe a march,
maybe a cha-cha-cha, maybe a rumba~
all the way into the Grandest Ballroom.

I hear the music, I'm ready to dance.this is a very lovely poem. It has rhythm and energy. It's to the point but bombastic.
