I Never Told My Son He Couldn't Dance

I never told my son he couldn't dance.

I never thought he didn't have a chance.

I never told my son he might not read.

I only sought to plant the seed.

I never showed my son a star.

That, I felt, was way too far.

I never taught my son to fly,

But I gave him wings with which to try.

I never questioned God's intent.

I only hoped my time well spent.

We never know what life will bring.

I only know that I must sing.

I never told my son he couldn't dance,

That is why he had a chance.
