I Hope You Dance

For a man who never ceases to amaze me... A man with strong hands and a kind heart. A man that might not always give you what you want but, will make sure you always have what you need.  For the countless sleepovers, endless phone calls and too many secrets to count.....with all my love....

"This one is for you Pap"

Keep on dancing....

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat

But always keep that hunger        

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes,  I hope one more opens

Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance 

Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking

Lovin' might be a mistake 

But it's worth making

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out 

Reconsider

Give the heavens above 

More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

I hope you dance
