"I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean."
from the song "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack
When I first saw the ocean as a child,
I was in awe of its waves, both mild
and wild, crashing onto the shore
as I waded through warm sand.
Still, its massive presence
renders me breathless
decades later.
I long to
be there
now.

There's strength in the construction of character. You have built an empire to base accomplishments on. Waltz in celebration of your life. Your legacy will inspire the youth of the nation to hold up their arms and dance. Show them the courage and righteousness to move in step with the times, and hold your breath that they too will dance, dance, dance.
Lee Ann Womack - " I hope you Dance. " Inspired to me write this poem for a contest.
