I Never Told My Son He Couldn't Dance| By Kathie Harrington,

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!
