~ Dance of The Enders ~

"Here you stand at another crossroad in life,
.....ain´t it great?
It´s time for choosing a new direction,
Toward a new and waiting fate.
But when one chapter closes,
Another begins.
The unknown now beckons,
It´s time to move on.
Right through the darkness,
And into the dawn.
No need to fear,
We will always come out winners.
Reflect for a moment,
Before you move on.
Of lessons and blessings,
And friends you have won.
That would never be,
Had one chapter not ended.
Now again,
another chapter must come to a close.
How long is this next one?
Well, nobody knows.
So the best thing to do,
Is just follow along.
And know that your life,
Is a dance and a song."

Leigh was one of the warmest people I have ever met in my life. I spent my 30th birthday with her and a few friends in Disneyland in 1987. Can't even imagine anyone wanting to hurt such a tender soul. I love you Leigh. I know you're in heaven.

I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Leigh. I only know her by the story told in ID-to her sons, I am so sorry. I can see the love you both had for your mother and how much she is missed. I would love a copy of her beautiful poem A Dance and a Song. I didn’t know her but she has touched me along with so many others. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I just watched the ID channel episode. As well as being touched by you loved ones truly beautiful poem, I was moved by the wonderful, close, spiritual nature of your family. Rarely have I been moved to send my condolences to total strangers.
Sadly I lost my son last year. Our loved ones are gone, but they are very much present in spirit and memory.
May you find peace.
Sincerely,

Dance of the Enders Poem

Here you stand at another crossroad in lifeaint it great?
Its time for choosing a new direction, toward a new and awaiting fate.
But when one chapter closes, another begins.
Yet here you are sitting on needles and pins.
Relax my friend, though I know not from where or when,
But Im certain those Enders are at it again.

The unknown now beckons, its time to move on.
Right through the darkness and into the dawn
No need to fear, we will always come out winners.
Especially with the help of the new beginners
Reflect for a moment, before you move on.
Of lessons and blessings and friends you have won
That would never be had one chapter had ended

Now again another chapter must come to a close
How long is this next one well nobody knows?
So the best thing to do is just follow along
And know that your life is a dance and a song
For every ending theres always a new beginning

I just watched your story on an ID program, my heartfelt sorrow for your family. The poem The Dance of the Enders struck me deep in my soul. Ive never enjoyed poetry, but your words were speaking to many people who heard it. There are a lot of people online looking for the words you wrote. Thank you for that, for words I needed to hear, but full of positive, love, hope, and never doubting the new will come as sure as the old is now gone.

Terrible terrible tragedy. I just saw your story on ID and I'm so sorry to know that this happened to such a lovely lady. I am touched by her poem you read and I know she was writing from experience, but I'm sure she knew it would encourage others is a reason she shared. Thank you for her encouraging words!!

I know Leigh must of had a heart of gold her poem at the end of the program showed just how much.

I just watched the episode on TV of your Mom and my HEART goes out to you all. I cried all through it. She was obviously a bright and loving and giving person. which is what ultimately did her in. It would be a sad life to live in fear, but your Mom didn't do that taking the day to embrace everyone around you. I know she looks down on your boys and her family, and wishes you have nothing but love in your hearts always. I love your Mom's poem The dance of the Enders. I wish you would publish it. It really spoke to me.

I am very sorry for your family's loss of such a kind, warm, wonderful, loving Mother and Grandmother. Leigh's deep spirituality and kindness changed my life, as well as the lives of everyone she touched. She will me missed very badly. May God grant you peace and comfort in knowing that Leigh is in the company of the Lord now.

I am so sorry for the family's loss of such a special lady, daughter, mother, grandmother, and my "bestest" friend. I know I speak for many - but our world was a better place with her in it. She was so talented in all that she would set her mind to conquer. And loved teaching people about a better way of life with natural herbs. A big empty place will forever be in my heart. She was a dear to me and I will miss her terribly.

I am so sorry that I can't be at the celebration of her life. But due to family sickness, it is impossible. God bless you all and she will live on in the hearts and lives of everyone she touched with her beauty, poise and grace.
