Dedicated to Darren White, who is in ICU recovering from a terrible 5 hour surgery. I can only imagine the long road this brave soldier has walked, so young, and filled with such love for others. My heart weeps for you, and I truly and most sincerely hope, that all of our thoughts and prayers reach you somehow. I know nothing of the workings of this universe, yet I hope somehow that these thoughts can traverse place and minds!

Darren is such a good friend, he won’t even mind if I get the girl at the Dance!!!!

Get well soon Darren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dance is like fire Been around and for quite a while Seducing youth Bringing juice to those old with no tooth The body and rhythm are beauty and time Even if real beauty is buried in the mind Dance like the dead Whom ever you may be For the dance is within Both you and me It’s in our souls Even if our legs know not the goal The human spirit dances each day Even when war sends bullets your way Stand up and dance for all mankind For dancing shall defeat the evil ones mind Dance with the stars Dance with the moon Dance with Arthur and Lisa The limousine has more room! Whether in New York or Bangkok The dance doesn’t understand any clock The rhythms’ come from deep within So kiss a dancer and have a wee little sin Be united, and show your smiles That’s how we shall march over all the miles Defeating those who dare to say Loving others is not the right way!

There I was believing you had two left feet. I'm sure Darren would not mind if I tapped on his shoulder.
