Birthday gift

A few days ago, I turned 26. For my birthday my brother wrote me this beautiful poem with the title of my blog. Enjoy!

Dance like no one is watching
I once heard someone say….
“Life is like a dance”
Some are so fast, you lose your feet,
Some are slow, hot, bitter and even sweet,
Some move with love and others with hate,
Some have a happy living and some a dreadful fate,
When we dance we neither follow nor lead,
Each step is a life we should prepare to heed,
And always with heaven as a partner;
Dance like no one is watching,

I know someone with a graceful dance,
And therefore a graceful life she has,
I think of her as a ballet,
Moving like a lovely cloud in a lovely sky,
Lovely as any lovely image of heaven,
As happy and alive as Mozart, she dances,
With a true and genius smile,
God watches her as she prances on earth,
Proud of her, these twenty-six years since birth, as she does;
Dance like no one is watching,

There are all types of dances as there are lives,
And we all have our own steps,
But I have learned something from an angel I believe,
Of how we should move in this life,
Her spirit travels in my mind and memories,
And she is a teacher and child of the divine,
As splendid as the grandeur of nature,
And pure as its blooming flower,
Alive as a warm breeze she will always;
Dance like no one is watching,

If life is like a dance,
How would you describe it?
If there is one think I know for sure;
Dance like no one is watching.
