It’s a song from the Broadway play “A Chorus Line” entitled “What I Did for Love”. When a dancer is injured, and rushed to the hospital, the question is asked, “What do you do when you can’t dance anymore? And if today were the day you had to give it up, how would you feel?”
Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can’t regret
What I did for love, what I did for love.
Look my eyes are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It’s as if we always knew,
And I won’t forget what I did for love,
What I did for love.
Gone,
Love is never gone.
As we travel on,
Love’s what we’ll remember.
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me t’ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won’t forget, can’t regret
What I did for love.
As a country, have we kissed today good-bye? A lot of people have given a lot for our country. Some have given their lives for our country. Some have been permanently injured for our country. Some have been injured but recovered and gone back to give even more for our country. And some of us have just done the best we could for our country, like gone to work everyday, raised our children to be good citizens, flown our flag, protected our families and homes, and yes, voted for the person who we felt would do the best job for America and the American people.
We’ve done a lot for love, but I think in 2008 we really kissed today good-bye when Obama was elected as President of the United States of America. We allowed a Marxist/communist to be elected to lead our country. Oh I didn’t, and a lot of YOU didn’t, but did we do enough collectively to prevent what’s happening now? We can say we tried, but apparently it wasn’t enough.
So we kissed today good-bye, but point me toward tomorrow. Tomorrow is all we have. We have to stop this trampling on The Constitution and our American principles that the present administration is destroying, the activists judges who are ignoring our morals, and those in power who refuse to secure our borders, and allow illegals to come to our country and stay without benefit of becoming citizens. Is tomorrow enough? It has to be! But if we allow Obama to be elected again in 2012, we may very well have kissed tomorrow good-bye as well.
“The gift was ours to borrow.
It’s as if we always knew,
And I won’t forget what I did for love”
