do not pity me
God has a purpose for all
love consumes all things
try to do His will
do the next right thing

Poem: The “Décima” is a Spanish style or form of musical poetry
that contains 10 lines of eight syllables.
The style has a rhyming pattern of abbaaccddc.
You (as I have done here) can break the stanza up in abba/accd/dc.

the music begins quietly
the beat is measured and steady
the dancers are poised and ready
their steps are made so silently
every move made decisively
all builds to a loud crescendo
no hint of an innuendo
a quadrille for merry lancers
smiles, laughter for band and dancers
finally a decrescendo
