On My Mind

I saw pictures of you yesterday Amanda that I haven't seen before. Those pictures left me thinking about you throughout the afternoon and all through the night. One of the pictures read "May The Work I've Done Speak For Me" Your work speaks volumes to me as I'm sure it does to a lot of people.

Theres this one song that I hear from time to time on the radio and everytime I hear it I think of you. When I hear this song it's almost as if you are singing it.

I feel this song describes how you lived your life. As one door closed another opened and we all witnessed you dancing. You always made a huge impression on me and in my life. I was always proud of how you took the chance to dance as you moved through all your opened doors. Just as you climbed one mountain there were several more there waiting for you, and yet you danced like there was nothing to it. In the end there was one last door to go through and now you're with the other angels in Heaven where there are no chances to take for you finally made it to the top with no more mountains to climb.

I love you Amanda Middleton!

I Hope You Dance
by Lee Ann Womanck

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 beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that 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 beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that 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)
