Notes About The Poem

- When Will the Last Dance Come -

No one can make you feel old
     without your own consent
     You're good enough, just the way you are
     The self-image is an expression,
     on how you look at yourself
     Age and love have no limits
     The time gives us the opportunity,
     to find and cultivate new pleasures
     A heart that beats for classical ballet
     Thoughts and driving force are enormous
     You disappear in the moment,
     and give yourself a happy day
     When you are in a good mood
     It gives you lots of energy ... regardless of age
