This came to mind when I looked at this photograph. :-) I got the image of a proud Daddy at his daughter's first dance. Happy Father's Day to all of the Dads at Author's Den! :-)
Are you ready for your debut? You've memorized your routine. You were perfect in rehearsal. What are you so nervous about? If you mess up, I won't be mad. You are going to do just fine. Why? Because I believe in you. You have made me so very proud. Let me take a picture of you. Stand by your mother--now say cheese! C'mon, let me see you smile. You look stunning in that white dress! Miss, may I have your autograph? What do you mean, "Aww, stop it, Dad?" I think you are very pretty. 'Course, it helps that you look like me. You get your talent from me, too. Uh, oh--there's your cue! Get onstage! Your mother and I'll be watching. Yes, dear, I have the camera. Yes, dear, I have more film. See you after the show, Honey. Now get out there and break a leg!
This is just perfect in both inspiration and composition, Karla! What a wonderful scenario you paint here, and with such empathy and sensitivity. This poem has the perfect poise of the ballet itself, delicate yet strong! And to base such beauty on an image which would otherwise strike such fear into your heart... God must be redeeming things well in your life! This is a wonderful example of His matchless power. Thank you and bless you! Kate xx
