Oomph

If energy fails,
And liveliness slows,
If strength becomes weak
And life’s sparkle goes.
Grab a partner…dance.

Vivacious verve
Can be restored.
Let vigor thrive.
Set life to drive.

Do the deal!
Jump and reel.
Dancing heals -

Mighty
Vigor

Oomph!

Thank you so very much for reading my poetry and taking time to leave your comment. I appreciate you more than you might imagine. I have really enjoyed these few days that I have had the opportunity to write and read some poetry here on the soup. It’s great to be able to do so and hopefully, it will continue. But…life is about to be hectic once again…soon. I send my love. Sincerely, Dane Ann

:) Very upbeat poem, Dane Ann, and thank you for your comment. I kept envisioning your Volvo going "oomph!" But don't worry, I got the true message of hope. Beautifully written, dear. I know you are too busy to write comments and I surely understand that. Love you, Carolyn
