DEAREST DAUGHTER

As your father I should enlighten you about what you'll face out there
'First and Foremost'...this alleged "Gift of Life" doesn't include fair
Don't just listen my daughter... HEAR everything I'm saying to you
more than anything I hope you experience more bliss than blue

One absolution is theirs no getting around having your heart broke
the intense pain induces nausea making you feel "I'd rather croak"
I'm so sorry but 'love' shall be a life challenge most trying
I promise my dearest daughter time will remedy the crying

Heartache is unfortunately bound to linger but you will live
keep fighting even if you feel theirs no fight left to give
My heart falls apart knowing I can't save you from life's pain
learn from every mistake daughter so prudence can be your gain

More times than not counting on another is simply unwise
be reluctant to trust...even "best friends" have disguise
My child you are certain to succeed once out on your own
Crystal NEVER forget you're the greatest joy I have known

Dearest daughter my love for you no scale could possibly measure
I do know when you became my child I got a priceless treasure
When or If I'm needed just know I will always answer your call
until my last breathe.. I'm there if you should ever stumble or fall

Thank you for this wonderful poem. I have a daughter and so often I was watching her pain and and being in despair and could do nothing only to watch and weep silently my heart out.
So , your poem is about my daughter too.
Thank you once more. I shall be reading it again and again.
Happy New Year and all the best.
