The Old Men Dance Poem by James Smith

The Old Men Dance

Rating: 5.0


The old men dance in the spring or would like to
And some believe it makes spring happen.
Others alas can no longer dance
And believe that spring dances around them.
Whichever is true and maybe both,
It's a serious business because
It's not easy for old men to dance
And the dance is as much a celebration of spring
As of being alive once more to see it.

Hi Thanks again by and large old age sucks if your not in good health.Although there are compensations like people being kind and considerate in case you fall to pieces!
