Do I Dare

Do I dare at my age talk of love
Should I dare at my age think of romance
Do I have just a tiny idea
I could even have half of a chance

Do I dare at my age look into her loving eyes
Should I dare at my age let her see
That I have no disguise

Life is not a fairy tale,not a movie show or a book
Perhaps I shouldn't dare I fear we both know
Really all she has to do is just take one look

So do I dare at my age talk of love
Should I dare at my age think of romance
Do I have just a tiny idea
I could even have half of a chance

Her loving eyes
I have no disguise
Do I dare

Dare to do anything that gives you pleasure, till the last breath leaves your body, life is short.

Ditto with Odette...I appreciate the honesty in this poem. But I say Dare and live or do nothing and die. We have only just one shot in life....make it count...claim your share of the bounties of being alive!

Hi Eyelook,

"Do I dare to eat a peach,
Roll my trousers and walk upon the beach,
Do I dare disturb the Universe?"

Of course you should dare. Loved your poem.
