What’s the message this time?
Deal me another day
and I’ll play cards with you.
Death is less about danger
and more about age than you think.
You and I know something about fear
you almost died at 15 on a RR crossing.
I almost died at 18 in a missile silo.
Life is a special mountain on the glowing path.
Live it up kid, live it up!
If you ask me I will live it up with you.
Please tell me what you think

I can't understand why you have no comments on this poem but then, I have several that sit in a lonely state waiting for attention.
Your words are crystal clear! Your "message" is aimed at the fearless; those of us who think we are invincible, us who have yet to witness longevity...
I think this is exactly what we do; "live it up!"
"you almost died at 15 on a RR crossing.

I almost died at 14, in a car racing 95 mph. I cringe at the thought now. I have little boundaries now, older I guess. lol
My mom and dad know more about the title of your poem than I do but their stories make me smile at the thought. I don't know that we had dances like when I was a kid.
Great poetry!
