Better To Love

Nothing stays the same,

We sing, we dance,
We weep,

And we grieve for what was,
For what might be,

And so we love,
For it's better to love,

We dance,
For it's better to dance,

And we chase the end of rainbows,

Better this,

Then stand at the side,
And just

Watch.

This is the theme of so many successful movies. Life is a banquet and so many "suckers are just starving to death" - reminds me of Auntie Mame. Smile.
