I'Ve Danced On Tables

I’ve danced on tables

My boots laced high

I have that kinda style

Cognac in one hand

Tambourine in another

I go on for miles

Songs of sorrow

Songs of love

Sweeping the night time air

Stars all aglitter 

A toast to you

Glasses raised high in the air

We sang and we danced

We laughed and romanced

Days that lasted forever

Now we look on

As they dance to our song

Our days have but gently ended

Lovely poem! I like the poignant moment at the end full of longing for what was. It wraps it up nicely.

Living the good life should have no regrets and it sounds like you don't have any. All good things come to an end but memories can live on forever and be passed down. I can identify!

...ah, regrets, I've had a few. Wasn't that a Frank Sinatra song? lol Thank you so very much for taking the time to read my writing. Z

It is so: beautiful, youthful and joyful that should not have ended in that way! Certainly days with joy will come again, probably of a different kind but they will come! Thank you for your gracious visit!
