I Never Told My Son He Couldn't Dance

By Kathie Harrington, M.A. C.C.C. SLP

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.

I Never Told My Son He Couldn't Dance!
