Author's Notes: "Dance through your life," is a didactic verse write I co-authored with my wife Ingrid. We originally wrote this poem on February 23, 2015. The overarching theme in this poem is to "listen to your inner melody." We both considered this to be a very positive and uplifting write which highlights mankind's essential interconnectedness. It presents a view that is abstract but wholly practical from the standpoint of each individual, since it's up to each individual to make the things happen that we briefly touched on in the poem. (Gary Bateman - May 12, 2015) (Didactic Verse)

Dance through your life Dance through your life always And listen to your inner melody; And dance through your life with Much joy and lightness for God’s Love is always unconditional and Special to each and every person Who aspires to do good deeds and To evolve toward greater spiritual Awareness seeking God’s blessing; Dance through your life as you seek To pursue God’s plan and work to Better yourself in all endeavors you Undertake while being unafraid of Challenges and never forgetting to Always be kind and of a charitable Heart and tenor to your fellow Man; Dance through your life to the very End understanding our mortal coil Is indeed finite but is part of a much Greater cosmic purpose whereby our Souls will one day make that majestic Journey with angels to God’s heavenly Home where all of us can dance on in God’s Grace and Light for an Eternity!

Hola Akkina!! Thanks for your read here. Ingrid and I both really liked this particular poem!! My first book of poetry which was published and released worldwide during April 2015 (available at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, etc.) is: "Conversations with My Muse." (The paperback is the best buy.) My second book (which is short stories and a novella) should be ready for release by this next Summer or so. It will be under the title: "Storyteller." I will let you know when it's available. Cheers and Best, Gary

Thanks ML!! I always prefer that the dance through one's life be one that accentuates the positive. God knows that we all experience enough of the "other challenges" too in our respective lives. Best Always, Gary

Hello My Dear Friend Anne-Lise!! I know you're reading my book for sure if you're quoting page numbers now. Ingrid has actually written a number of things on her own to include a most wonderful short story. She's actually more comfortable with our co-writes for right now. (I will show her your comments for sure!!) She has quite wonderful short story she's been working on in German, that we both later will translate into English. Her works will be in my second book for sure!! Again, dear one, thanks for your wonderful poem the other day . I spoke with Liam this PM and told him to read it immediately!! Cheers, Gary
