Dance

~~ A few weeks ago someone asked me to post a poem on here.  Well I finally got a chance to move some of my documents over to my laptop from my desktop.. so here it is.  Keep in mind that I wrote this in July of 2006.  I had just turned 15.. so yeah..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reach for my hand

Hold it in Yours

Teach me to dance

Spin me around

Across these dancing floors

Teach me to dance

 

Show me how

How to dance with what I have

Two feet

Two hands

One heart to keep the beat

It may not be a lot

But teach me to dance

 

Hold me close 

Close to You

Don't let my feet slip

Watch me as I go

As I go off on my own

Out onto the dance floor

And watch me dance

 

Tell me I can do it

I can do the intricate steps

The fast paces

The slow paces

The life paces

Tell me I can dance

 

I can dance till the sun rises

Till it rises over my misery

I can follow through with what I've begun

The dance of the hurting and torn

I'll dance till my shoes are worn

For You I will dance

 

I will dance back to Your arms

To Your arms that hold me close

That teach me

And show me

You show me how to dance

How to dance to this life song

 

Life is like a dance

The fast and slow

Painful and joyful

We just have to dance it

Alone and together

Dance it till the sun rises

Dance till the song is over

~~ So this poem talks about life.  How God watches over us, how He holds us close, and especially how He cares about us and does not want to see us hurt.  Stuff always happens in our lives, and we just have to keep living.  Just have to keep on dancing.

~~ "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.  Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.  But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." ~Phillipians 3:12-14
