Is Life a Struggle or a Dance

I asked a baby,
“Is life a struggle or a dance?”
and in reply,
It hugged its mom a bit closer.

I asked a young man,
“Is life a struggle or a dance?”
and in reply,
He hurried off to start his day.

I asked a lady,
“Is life a struggle or a dance?”
and in reply,
She carefully made up her face.

I asked an old crone,
“Is life a struggle or a dance?”
and in reply,
She winked at me twinklin’ her eye.
