If you had known me then
You would have asked me
to dance.
Being the free spirit I was,
I might have given you
the chance.
If you had known me then
You would have liked
my style.
I was hip, I was cool
With an honest and
open smile.
Fear was unkown and
getting older was
so far off.
If adults discussed
"golden years"
I would flip my hair
and scoff.
But, years do fly by
Time does not freeze
You live life as
you must
and not
as you please.
My youth has since
parted.
Though I still flirt
and blush.
When questioned of age
I say it with pride -
but in hush.
Home life is good now
I am blessed with
romance.
Yet, if the right tune
should play
Would you ask me
to dance?

Chris, even now you are one cutie pie! ~ as is evident in your pixie pic.

~ But of course he would have asked you to dance! ~ Back then ~ and now!

Chris~
And a lovely repo, if I must say so myself~

I heard an unfamiliar muse cavorting in the meadow this morning ... you do have an APB out on her, don't you ?
Reward ??
Remit $$$$ and I'll scoot her little booty right back to you~

~*No matter what I search for ...
let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

Chris, you do put things so well.  That part of you is still there....just older.  Same with me.  I really like this a bunch because not only is it so well put together, but it dances my tune, too.   ....jo

Hey Chris!
Yanno how we love to dance...
Love this piece...and love you too.

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

I enjoyed this very much, and can easily picture you flipping your hair and dancing. Dance on, lady!

I don't remember reading this, before. It doesn't seem to me your muse is gone.

Along the way you have learned...the years aren't golden...unless YOU are golden in them!
