I Hope You Dance!

I hope you still feel small, when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the chance to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

I hope you dance



Many years ago, Axal, told me that this was his mother's favorite song and he explained why. "Just listen to the words," he said. "You have to participate in life to get anything out of it." Axal has always asked us thoughtful, religious questions, like "where is my mom and what is she doing now that she is dead?"
Good question.
How glad I am to have the answer to that and to be able to assure him that she is alive and learning many new things with the help of those who love her and went on to heaven before her.
There is no doubt in my mind that she will be there to greet each of her children and the rest of us when our time comes to join her.
So this blog is for Axal, where ever you go.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the chance to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
