Forgotten passions...

Each week poet Ronovan Hester sponsors a Haiku prompt challenge, and folks (like me) try to follow his lead. This week the two words are beat and party. If you have interest in this art form, please click on his name and you'll be guided to his website where you'll find detailed instructions. 

In a couple of weeks, I'm flying to New York to attend my youngest son's wedding. He and his bride-to-be are perfect for each other. When I'm near them, my heart literally skips beats. At the reception, I suspect there will old and young on the dance floor. Thinking about the music, the movement, and the laughter evoked this simple haiku poem.

That sums up perfectly why I love to get out on the dance floor! Congrats on your son's up coming marriage. There is nothing like a wedding celebration to remind us of the importance of love in our own lives. Have a wonderful weekend Gwen.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
