Daughter To my future daughter, Hi it's me, your Dad. I never want this to go unsaid; I hope you fall in love with being alive, Enjoying life beyond flaws and flawlessness. I hope you realize that you are a queen And that your hips don't decide your destiny. I hope you learn to forgive and to apologize. I want you to know that I'll think of you each day, I'll hold you in my heart and you'll be safe. I'll walk you through your failures, Show you the roads to take, Teach you the words to say and ones not to. Make you proud of every bit of yourself. Teach you independence and strength, So that you don't have to go searching for love You are your own story, Whether you choose to be Christian, Hindu or Muslim, I'll hold your hand for a lifetime Just don't intoxicate yourself, Cause you are a masterpiece, Carrying my soul and smile inside you. A blank page awaiting to be written.
