Sitting down one Sunday evenning
Staring down the Sunset's gaze
He's startled once again by laughter
He traces it back to his daughter's face
She came running to her daddy-
Seven years of life smiled on her daily
She's dancing to the beat of her own drummer
Raising her hands up with her laughter
Raising memories in her father
Of a day much like this, of when he was younger...
A Sunday evenning, left back 16 years...
The night he saw his only partner
The one who bore the one who stares-
at his tear-filled dark-green eyes
"You look so much like your mother..."
Is all he can say to her seated on the steps
"That night, I loved your mother...
amazing that she loved me back...
but she was dancing just like you were,
your dancing brought her memory back.
Never forget, I loved your mother
and everyday I to have her back.
Please-get up and keep dancing
before she returns to heaven,
for just tonight you can dance with her...
because just now,
God gave her back."
