Dearest Daughter

Be classy and fabulous Be silly and fun Go ahead and get dirty Dance in the sun Be confident and proud Be hungry for knowledge Follow your dreams And please Go to college Have tons of friends Don't be one dimensional Wherever you end up Be sure it's intentional Be a woman of strength And a child of God Be goofy and different Be a bit odd Always be yourself Despite what others say Stay little as long as you can Never forget how to play Learn to change a tire And the oil in your car Never depend on a man Know who you are Travel the world Widen your horizons Always speak truth Don’t live in hiding Be a true friend Stay true to your word Don't succumb to gossip It’s just bully curd Don't burn bridges Admit when you're wrong Forgive and forget Play your favorite song Sing as loud as you can Laugh until it hurts Fake it till you make it Find whatever works Wherever you go Don’t forget your way home Think of me and dad Pick up the phone
