Life's not measured by the years, but by joy, beyond all tears.By dances shared and songs we sing, by all the happiness we bring. So, celebrate each step you took, each hand you held, each smile that shook the world with pure delight and love. Now dancing in the stars above, for life's dance that must go on, through every dusk and every dawn. Keep dancing to the music, until once more our souls meet.
