The Dance

Years going by so fast, especially in groups of five. Which will be my last? How long will I survive? My friends are leaving me; thru heaven's gate have gone. What will be, will be... I'm thankful for each dawn. Surely, a spin of chance... this living and dying dance. Sandra M. Haight ~6th Place~ Premiere Contest: 10 lines, Five Words Rhyme Sponsor: Laura Loo
