THE JOURNEY OF A DANCE

The
path that we follow on the Journey of Life
Is
the way we were destined to go. . .
-
Defined by family
- Designed by God
-
Inspired by the people we know.
Who
we become as we travel the path
Can
determine how far we
will go. . .
-
The strength of our character
-
The good of our souls
-
The joy of our own inner glow.
Some people
travel each lane in a stroll. . .
Some
saunter along without spirit. . .
Some take
the walkway a step at a time
-
Wherever
it curves, they go with it!
But some
gather their courage and focus ahead
And
hit the road running - in
full. . .
One avenue
to follow – played out to its end –
One plan to
completion – and then GO. . .
On to the
next dream – a boulevard – a
stage -
More
new horizons to reach. . .
More acts to
perform - more travels - more goals. . .
But then –
how much more can there be?
More
mountains to climb. . .
More
knowledge to share. . .
And
- more Gifts to
give. . .
- Next – To Teach!
But
where does it come from – this heart - this soul -
The
joy of this great inner strength -
The
courage – the focus – the “Go-for-the-Gold”. . .
And the
Journey
– its
“where” and its length?
-
Defined by family
-
Designed by God
-
Inspired by the people you know
All these
create the “who”
you become -
And the way
you were destined to go!
Your parents both shared a love of the Dance . . .
The
joy of the stage and the lights. . .
The
thrill of the audience and the sound of applause. . .
Their love
was what made your life bright!
Through
God’s grand design you became part of them -
A
blessing to the art they defined. . .
You followed
their footsteps - you danced down their road. . .
Your Journey
- a credit to their lives!
Their
friends have inspired you – your own have as well. . .
Your
brothers have given you strength!
They
are the family that lives in your heart -
They’re
your glory - far greater than wealth!
What
you now contribute to your fellow man. . .
How you brighten and lighten their loads . . .
Shows the strength of your character – the good
of your soul -
And the joy
of your own inner glow!
Some
people are “Special” - You are one of the few
Who
are more than just that to your peers. . .
In
life, to have known such great respect
Will
keep your heart warm through the years.
Stay
happy in knowing you live your life well
With
family and friends by your side. . .
They are
part of your Journey as you follow your dreams -
And you fill
them with Love and with Pride!
The path you
have followed on this Journey of Life
Is the way
you were destined to go. . .
-
Defined by family
-
Designed by God
-
To inspire all the people you know!
