Solid Gold Dancer. She would put on her leotard and leggings, and dance through the den with great vigor, style and precision. She enrolled in gymnastics, and just as things were looking up for her to be there, shaking her bootie beside Adrian Zmed, or Dionne Warwick...the show was cancelled. The music faded, and we no longer heard.
Solid Gold - Filling up my life with music
Solid Gold - Putting rhythm in my soul
There's song that's unreeling
To fit the way that I'm feeling
My head keeps spinning to music; spinning to gold.
I've come to discover that music's a lover.
It's heat keeps me warm when I'm cold.
The beat starts to bend me.
The melodies send me.
And everything melts into gold
...and sadly her dreams died. Now, she is a mother to two beautiful children, who keep her dancing faster than she ever did in the eighties. She is also a great wife and a wonderful daughter. I could not ask for a better sister (unless I could borrow money a little more often). I love you, and am so proud of you. So, her initial dreams have not come true, but I feel that she wouldn't trade her life now for the chance to dance. Perhaps God didn't have a beef with disco music, maybe he was weaving a solid gold dream for a girl in a leotard and leggings. And the neatest part of all is that her daughter is enrolled in dance classes.To stop dreaming, hoping, and believing is to stop living. In the words of the prophet, Steven Tyler, "Dream On!"
