I photographed my son and granddaughter, Kailei, the other day, and it brought back so many memories of me, holding my son in my arms, as a baby, and dancing with him. I wrote a poem to go with this beautiful expression of love between a daddy and his daughter.


I am so thankful that my son loves his daughter and spends time with her. For those of us that did not have this sort of relationship with their earthly fathers, remember this, God is our Father, and longs to hold us, and comfort us.



"While We have The Chance, Let's Dance"


The spotlight's on us

My precious child

Let me hold you

For a little while

Soon you'll be grown

With no need for us

So while we have the chance

Let's dance,

Just the two of us.

As I hold you near

I chase the years away

I won't worry about tomorrow

We'll live in today

Yet, soon you'll be grown

with no need for us

So while we have the chance

Let's dance,

Just the two of us.


So, while we have the chance

Let's dance,

Just the two of us.
