FIRST PLACE

Oh, My Aching Legs

 

My legs recently have not been so carefree.
      I am no longer strong like a tree;
my doctor said, "You have to rest from dancing, Dear.
You have a tear- oh, just for a while - to my tips you must adhere."
      With hope, I began slow walking everyday,
      but sometimes- I do let my hips sway.
  I know it will be a long bitter fight -
  with throbbing pain at night.
But walking with my friend each day is filling me with glee.
I feel that with work that I will be dancing again happy and free.
