(slightly corrected lyrics)
I met a sad old gypsy on the road to Berlin By chance I got to spend a little time with him We shared a few life stories on that dusty old train So I thought I'd take a minute To share them again with you
He talked of all the twists and turns he'd taken in life And how his spirit clung to God to do what was right Sure he got the prize but he never counted the cost I felt his pain as he shared with me all that he had lost
If you could only see what was there in his eyes An eternity of wandering in search of the prize He'd had it all, the money, all the fame and romance And now he shed a tear as he faced the last dance
The blessing comes but once he said But it's not for you, it must be shared And if you keep it to yourself You'll be no use to anyone else
And he who gives will take away And you will face the same dark day That even now is all my pain I'll never have this dance again
Chances, dances, how quickly this life passes All our hopes and all our dreams Get lost in all our selfish schemes You see, it's not about you, it's not about me It's about loving something we can't see It's all about what we are willing to share It's about our hearts and who lives there
As the train rolled into the city He shook his head as if to say It's your turn now, just know the game That you're about to play
And it seemed as if right there and then A light came to his eyes As he exchanged the dance of life For a far better prize
And so the tired old gypsy drifted slowly away Beaten by the game he'd taught so many to play He said "I'd do it all again if I had the chance" But I'm ready now for one more bow I'll take the last dance

I lost my little brother on Thanksgiving,2022 I’m still not over it, I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. My deepest condolences and prayers for you.
Sorry for your impending loss.
Sorry for your loss of your brother. It is always difficult to lose a part of yourself. Prayers out.
So very sorry
My mother’s cancer caused her brain to not know us on a Christmas Day some years back. It was a hard thing.
Prayers for your brother, you and your family
Peace to you. I spoke to a dying man yesterday, he is in hospice. Look to Jesus, He will send comfort.
My prayers to you and your family during such a trying time in life.
Paul R. - May your brother soar with the angels.
Now, when my brothers and I get together, gone are the old rivalries and petit feuding, replaced with deepest respect for one another. And the comfort of shared memories too sharp to be brought out carelessly for mere entertainment.
The river of life flows on and we smile seriously as the grand-kids play.
I’m sorry. Lost my sister, only sibling in June suddenly during a TEE procedure. Lost my husband suddenly October 2022.
I miss them both.
He’s gone...
I’m “ok”, it’s just going to be a real mess sorting out the fallout. So far as anyone knows he’d made no arrangements & we don’t even know if he kept his life insurance “up”, where records might be (he’d gotten evicted from his apt.), etc.
Go now. I spent a week with my grandma before she died. Weather kept me from the funeral but I value that week.
Prayers up!
Condolences for what you and your brother are going through.
Prayers for you
