loving parents but the way they
read the bible meant no dancing
on my own after college I
took lessons to please my new wife
i was never good but had fun
for years moving with the music
now my knees and back restrict me
to a slow shuffle and a sigh
but in my sleep i leap and fly

Views from the Edge 
This reminds me of a cartoon or two I have seen, I think one female, one mael, of an older person shuffling along with cane or walker, but their shadow on the wall is of them young and dancing along arms in air and joyful in deportment. I smile every time I see one.

My maternal grandparents left the South Paris Baptist Church because it viewed cards and sex as sinful. They love both! Joined the Congregational Church and never looked back.
