They Dance

The other day I saw a man and woman walking down the road, holding hands. They must have been in their late 80's. I wondered if they had been together all of their lives. I hoped they had. I imagined that they had been leaning on each other through difficult times, marriages, children, death and despair. I imagined the joys they had celebrated....the births, weddings, graduations, holidays and parties. And I imagined that still, when the mood is right........they dance.
