You

Today I watched you dance.
The music stopped and restarted .. and then you danced again.
You danced as if there was nothing holding you back.
I will dance through my storms as you did.
You danced.

You had a voice.
You used your voice, no matter how difficult the subject.
I have something to say, and I will say it..
Like you did.
You spoke.

You fought the good fight.
You were strong, doing what most thought you couldn’t do
You fought for yourself, for the sick, for the lame
My battle is not over; I will fight like you did.
You fought.

You loved so deep.
You cared so deep.
Always putting others before yourself.
I’m inspired to love as you did.
You loved.

I hope you’re smiling down on me.
I hope you’re proud of me.
I hope you think I’m brave.

Happy Birthday my love.
Dance dance dance.
