I danced with a reason For living tonite I was tired Worked all day Was trying hard to look forward to it I came home, opened the door And God...she was stunning Just like her mother And when I told her how Beautiful she looked Her shy smile, and the pure Proud joy, at my simple words Made my day so small And me her world and I Was filled with worth and love And we danced all night Clumsy and not caring In her beautiful gown With her laughing friends All angels And we laughed and did the Chicken dance, the YMCA And line danced like fools And all of the dads Forgot to look sheepish And I glimpsed for an instant The woman she was becoming So soon And I knew, I was the first man She loved I will never forget That night I danced With an angel . . . Had to resubmit, this one was lost with server problems the other day.Thank you my friends, my other 2 submissions made it into the book.I am very excited for what will be my first time in print and I am honored.This one I gift to Jessica, whom I danced with that nite.

A fun-loving, healthy father/child relationship is so precious and not to be taken for granted. Which you've expressed in spades! Lovely, simply lovely, Jason. |

I think this should DEFINATELY be included in the book!! I hope you won't mind if I print it out and share it with my husband and daughter. I think they may enjoy it as much as your Jessica does! And maybe, just possibly, it will help get my husband out to the Father/Daughter dance our young Rebecca wants him to attend. Thanks for this write Jason! Gets my vote! Tammy |

Jason, I honestly thought that I had voted for this. I guess that because I loved it so much in the Open Forum that I thought I had voted for it. I was going to just read it again and noticed that I didn't vote for it. I'm so sorry. Well, here I go now to vote. *click* *click* There! Hugs, Ethel |

Jason, I'm not one given to the sappier emotions, however this brought a HUGE lump to my throat as I have danced the same dances with my own Daughter, Autumn. Count one more vote to the total. Imagine all the People living life in peace... |

Jason, Yes, this is a very special poem. I enjoyed the sentiment and the love that you expressed between a father and his daughter. No question these words are from a loving father. SG My votes in. |
