The Dance
February 12, 2019
Taking every step as carefully as I can
But I stumble and fall
I’m dancing the dance of life
When I fall it sounds like a pan being banged against a pan
I get up again and try to stand tall
But I have no confidence and no strife
But I fall down clumsily
I get up kind of hastily
I may not dance wonderously
But I get up again, this time with confidence
I’m no broken picket fence
I’m dancing the dance of life
And this time I have strife
