2016: EB POETS EXERCISE LXXIV

Dear Daughter

I wish I could keep you from growing

Thus, keep you from being hurt or heart broken

But daddy is a mere mortal still striving to understand

So grow up child and live, taste all of life’s deals, just be wise as you choose. – Tee2emm.

Dear Daughter,

Of all the lovers you will find

Dad won’t be the sweetest one

Your husband would try in soul and mind

But your mum remained when your loving dad was gone- Leon

Dear Daughter,

Only you and no other

My love for you won’t waver

You’ll teach and be taught

Every little act of love…-Hybrid

Dear daughter. 

One two is many a secret. 

Feed your soul love and peace. 

And you will stay true. Hypermind

Dear Daughter,

They will like you in skimpy dresses

Decorate their looks with icing

Remember, sweet words are deceiving. – Bangwan

Dear Daughter 

Tis the bond that ties me and your mother,

that has given you us as freedom.

Be free sweet emerald, and I’ll always be there to tie your shoe laces – Ruddapoet

Dear Daughter

When the lustful wind blow

Remember that it’s a love shallowed

When the suitor comes knocking,

Love will cherish your garden Beneath.-Rachel Charles

Dear daughter, I wish you grow up fast but slow

Be nothing of me but everything of yourself 

Watch my lids suck every fury of life

But act not the same rage,  for you’re nothing like your mother… AP

Dear Daughter

We would bask in the halo of sunlight

and share stories 

the shadows would grow tall 

while we route through vine sheds and grazing fronds- free- Bash Amuneni

I hope when you see me I’m pointing past the sky

I hope in me you see love’s seed saying live or I’d rather die.

And know this sweet girl of mine for it’s my pledge to you

To be the best that I may be for the best you can be.-Seun
