Dance

Heathen57

 

Dance for me my brother

For I no longer can

The spirit is more than willing

What cannot is the man

 

For I have done my part

Fought in a land far away

The lad became a warrior

But a heavy price I did pay

 

Gave up both legs

For the wisdom I gained

This price is so heavy

Like a flood from a rain

 

When young I would dance

And my spirit would soar

Now confined to a wheelchair

I can dance no more

 

With the beat of the drum

And the pounding of my feet

That’s the time when my spirit

And the eagle’s would meet

 

For now I will listen

And dream of the time

That the feet now moving

Those feet were once mine.

 

So dance for me my brother

For the boy I had been

For when my body is gone

My spirit will dance once again.
