The Jig

Remind me how this goes

This dance and these steps

You’re thankful for the time

Yet sad to see it go

It’s the dance of freedom

The dance dedicated to new things

The dance attributed to new beginnings

So explain to me how it goes

Because my heart wants to get up and soar

But I can’t help but hold back just a bit more

Maybe I have this need to be the last one standing

To be the strong one

To watch everyone else walk out that door

And then maybe in the shadow of the light that’s left

I’ll get up and dance

Do the jig without the steps

And trust that it’s not the steps that matter

But the dance itself that counts
