Life Is a Dance

Life is A Dance


Yesterday I was here, twirling about
Laughing and learning lifes lessons, no steps left out
Every now and then, I do have a stumble
Straighten up and move on, have to be humble

Today another day, jump up and sing
Pass on your lessons, give it a swing
To lead, to follow, it is all good
Ups and downs are part of ones livelihood

Tomorrow I am back where I began
Stronger and better, do a handstand
You deserve it, take a bow
Lifes dance won't give you more than time will allow
