The Dance

The Dance

By Garth Brooks

Sung By Wyatt Martensen and 

Rex Martensen

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;

your love, O Lord, endures forever--

do not abandon the works of your hands.

Psalm 138:8

The Dance

A song that has so much meaning..

written and played over and over 

again..

by so many.

When someone says "The Dance",

you know, oh,

that song...

But on May 11th, 2010..

"The Dance",

took on a whole new meaning for us..

I will never hear that song again....

without remembering

the strong, mixed emotions that 

stirred in my heart...

the day Rex and Wyatt

somehow,

very calmly..

sang "The Dance",

at Waylon's  funeral...

To this day, I still don't understand,

how they were able to sing,

but the only thing I can think of,

is what great love they wanted to 

share, and show to everyone..

how much they loved Waylon...

They did an exceptional dedication to the son and 

brother...

who means so much to them..

I wish we had recorded 

"The Dance",

that day...

but...

the events played out so fast..

it's hard to make every decision..

when you are trying to give your son

the best possible moments..

at his funeral.

We wanted everyone to see Waylon..

the way he lived his life...

So, we recorded "The Dance",

in basement of 

Grandma and Grandpa Martensen's

basement..

where so many memories were made,

where the kids spent so much of their 

time, playing, laughing, and having fun..

To Waylon..

"The Dance".
