A February night God knew I would need.
February came, the month we waited for,
A moment wrapped in quiet surprise.
A Day you never dreamed would hold
So much more than candles and wishes.
You hoped for friends, a few familiar faces,
Some food, a drink, your son nearby,
Nothing grand, just simple joy.
And when you entered, happiness found you.
Then voices rose in song and greeting,
And suddenly, we joined the tune.
As melodies filled the room,
Tears fell…soft, sincere, unstoppable.
You saw us then - your three angels,
Standing where you never expected.
Shock gave way to wonder,
And joy overwhelmed the air.
No words could hold what we all felt
When we hugged you close, kissed your face,
Grateful beyond measure
For that single, perfect moment.
You tried to hold your tears inside,
Shielding them from our eyes,
But your heart spoke louder,
Speechless, happy, shaken, surprised.
That was you on your special day.
We ate, we drank, we danced as one,
Laughter spinning through the night.
Until I realized, far too late,
That one last song would be our goodbye.
If only the music could return,
One more step, one more embrace,
One more dance that never ends,
How I long to dance with my father again.
Until we dance again…
“If I could get another chance
Another walk,
Another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never ever end
How I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again…”
