I hope you dance

I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat But always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance Living might mean taking chances But they're worth taking Lovin' might be a mistake But it's worth making Don't let some hell bent heart Leave you bitter When you come close to selling out Reconsider Give the heavens above More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance (Time is a real and constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who) I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) (Where those years have gone) I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance Dance I hope you dance I hope you dance (Time is a real and constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who) (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) I hope you dance (Where those years have gone) (Tell me who) I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) (Where those years have gone)

My mom gave me this bear that played this song. My mom has danced and she is quite an inspiration to me. She is strong and fun and I love her too much! Think about this song though...some people stay on the sidelines and never dance. However, if you do not dance, you can't get the high from that and on the same token, you can't feel the hurt. Some people say I am emotional and that is a-okay. My therapist says I am too much one way or another. I am either high or low. That is true. If I am happy, I am really happy and if I am sad, I am really sad. However, the power of both of these emotions makes me the person I am. While I might be emotional and moody, at least most people know where they stand with me. I can look in the mirror and like who I am becoming. Is it the thin triathlete? No. Is it me - just me? Absolutely. Will I dance? You better believe it! Love you all!
