I love the dance of life  --

I love the music of the soul  --

I love the way things come about  --

I truly love the way life does unfold…

I love the dance of life

And doing things in the right way

For there is a way of being proper in things we do

And in words we say…

I love the dance of life  --

I love the sharing and the bonding of my family  --

There is a wonder in the connection

Perfected by God and seen in all humanity…

I love the dance of life  --

And togetherness with those I love

For it is very important in this life of mine  --

I love the dance of life

Where living by God’s commandments

Is a given beneath softened pellets

Of rain or brilliant rays of sunshine…

I love to dance and to share time

In the blissful movement

Expressed in visions of rhythmic form  --

I love the dance of life

For it has been with me since I was born…

Now I am of the age that the dance has found its true design

As the dance now reveals to me the depth of God’s

Blessing in the sharing of earthly time…

So I will dance and share myself

Each day and when the dance

Is through and I have returned home to rest

There I will kneel to pray and share with God my thanks

For being richly blessed…

Gains I have come to know  --

Loss has visited me as well

And if I could live my life again I would  --

I love the prize it does bring

For it often is the very reason

That my feet spin and twirl

And my very soul does sing…

As I pray I will remember

That I loved the dance of life

And abundantly I am blessed

For God in all His wonder

Danced with me the best…©
