Dance with time

Keeping steps with time

One has to quicken one's steps.

From birth, a slow waltz:

Slow, excited, unsteady, unsure.

From youth to adulthood, the tango:

Frantic, wild to sultry, smooth.

As time, flies by quickly

The quick step quickens

As life lessons.... until

That day, beyond middle-aged

The slow waltz returns;

Slow, unsteady, unsure. 

The steps one takes

To keep in touch

In life......Time

Awaits for no-one.

From dancing with her barefoot

To dancing with her in high heels

Hold tight, don't slip,

Quicken your step!!

And Don't step on her  toes!!

If you want a longer life expectancy!

Wise advice from a married man who knows not to step on the toes of one who has the power to drastically alter his life... I love movement in this piece, Andrew...
