The Dancer of Bourbon Street
I saw you join Deep Underground
Your intro made my mind rebound
I love that you now raise the sound
Of life you lived and those around
Dancers down on Bourbon Street
Dancing to Big Daddy's beat
That existence, no mean feat
Yet you survived the wind and heat
You have moved on, yet you have stayed
Have gathered up the disarrayed
With talent your own life displayed
The Mardi Gras of your parade
Respect for you inspires me
We all can be whom we may be
Follow the light and you will see
God guides you with his trinity

I so appreciate your extended comment on my poem.
None of us leads the same life. We are as different, and the same as the snowflakes of winter

Once again I thank you for visiting, reading and commenting. You totally understand where I'm coming from. Just curious, are you deeply religious?

Yet there is a depth of caring that riches new heights. I have a daughter who is much as you.
