Dear Daddy,
 
Thank you for giving me the gift of life
a lifetime opportunity
to pursue my dreams
 
Thank you for my gender
my womanhood
from this gift I have learned to appreciate
the ability to nurture myself
and those I love
 
Thank you for the gift of dance
from your love of dancing
I have learned to dance for myself
and contribute a joyous spirit to the world
 
Thank you Daddy for asking,
before you left this earth
 
Are you okay?
 
Your question healed my heart
gave me hope
to challenge myself to become to the best woman
I was created to be
to keep on loving myself
and the world through dance
 
Love,
Your daughter
Jacqui
