"The Dance"

Looking back on the memory of

The dance we shared 'neath the stars above

For a moment all the world was right

How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything

For a moment wasn't I a king

But if I'd only known how the king would fall

Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance

I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance

Dreams

My cousin Barb passed away 27 years ago February 03, 1981. She had just turned 24 less than a month earlier.

Last night she was in a one of the oddest dreams I've had in a while. It seems she was helping me move but the place looked like underground cement halls.
I know we had some conversations in the dream but I can't remember what about. That is alright, I enjoyed the time I spent with her even if it was just a dream.

When we reached our teens we shared a lot of our thoughts and found we had both been jealous of the other growing up. I thought she was doted on and she thought my family was loving and stable. Boy, were we both surprised when we found what the other thought of those ideas.
More on that later though...

I miss her!

No regrets!
