A Poem for Daughters

A Poem

Though this mind flows like waterfalls

This river is not drinking water

Save these words

For your daughter

Just because they're selling makeup

Doesn't mean you have to buy it

Just because boys demand for this and that

Doesn't mean you don't have to supply it

And if you want to kiss a girl

Embrace that feeling don't deny it

When you make decisions

Make your bed and lie in it

Be a shepherd not a sheep

To avoid a heap

Of boredom and simplicity

Grow wild like flowers in the spring

Keep these words

Under your wing

As i watch you fly through

Your childhood

Don't be picky

Make sure that you eat good

Treat others the way

You know you should

Be warm respectful

And keep your chin up

For every sad night

Just remember the sun will come up

On a day

On a chance

To live your life to the max

I know you live in a world

Long past brick phones and fax

But never sell yourself out

For that metal and glass

Your friends may have more sass

And luck with boys

But never forget your self worth

Don't turn into one of their toys

Build yourself

Build your wealth

Build your health

And build your stealth

When you try to hide how drunk you are when i pick you up

From the adventures i hope you take on

Taking on the world with every stride

Your determination with turn the tide of your happiness

But for now just laugh at my dad jokes full of cringeyness.
