Dad Dancing.

Goldfinch60



The music started,

I took her in my arms

And we started dancing,

Dad dancing from long ago.

We laughed and smiled

At each creak of our bones

In knees and necks

Added to the music,

Not following the beat.

So many memories of times passed

When this was the type of dancing

We did all night.

Those times in the sixties

Dancing to these songs

Like the one we dancing to.

Dancing all night,

Unlike this time,

Where the creaks and groans

Stopped us,

After two minutes.

      You just hit on something dear to my heart. I hear the music and I can't help but move. I rarely get to go dancing anymore, but nothing stops me from dancing, by myself, in my living room, to music of the sixties. Only problem is that hips and knees have aged, where the brain has not followed. Thank you for this little trip down memory lane, a great write!

        So very true Bella, the mind works but the body struggles.
