I Can Dance!!!

Me dance?
Me?
Who, me?
Yes…
Freely, whirling, with grace

And a teacher too
Teacher of life
Teacher of joy
Spreading laughter in the midst of
Bombs clashing and words which strike us.
Advocate of strong will and continued hope.

I am a voice
Sometimes fun, silly
Sometimes certain, firm
Working for justice
Working for peace

A strong spirit, a woman of faith.
I live my faith
I dance it.
And I dance…

I dance for joy in life’s gifts
I dance in sorrow for friends lost

I am a friend
The bonds I make are rooted
Deep within.
These bonds weaving a web,
A network
A heart network.
I am a connector
Bringing people together
Bringing people to encounter
A way of just being
People transforming
Ideas
Bodies
Hearts
When I dance
Yes
I dance
