I'd like to introduce you to our parents. My parents are two very special people in our lives. I guess about the best way to tell you about my parents is in the poem my brother wrote about them. It seems to just about say it all.

And Then We Dance

Our mother's hands are big and strong
From Texas flat fields and cotton songs
No time for school and taking lunch in a can
She's got to help Papa harvest the land

And then she loves, honest and pure

Our father's eyes do squint at the sun
Always outside is where his work is done
Nebraska, Seattle to the southwestern sand
He's in the Ozark's now giving rest to his hands

And then he loves, honest and pure

The love they have yielded, so freely they gave
To one of our lives it couldn't possibly save
But still so strong, oh so stronger than ever
It will keep us adherent, embracing forever

And then we dance together forever
And then we dance with no more sorrow
And then we dance together again
Forever tomorrow
