The Dance of Life

My Daddy and I—we love to dance.

I step up onto his feet,

He holds me close, twirls me,

And we dance.

When I feel too weak

He lifts me up onto his feet.

He holds me close, spins me,

And we dance.

When I’ve been naughty

He comes and finds me.

He helps me up onto his feet, loves me,

And we dance.

When I’m scared about so many things

He calls for me.

With his scarred hands, he guides me back onto his pierced feet,

And we dance.

When I’m sad

He picks me up high.

He looks deep into my eyes, smiles

And we dance.

We spin

We twirl

We laugh

We love

My Daddy and I,

We dance.
