My Daughter

My Daughter If looking for a love that will last Don't give your heart away too fast Before you start to sing that beautiful song Wait for the right one to come along My Daughter You're loves more precious than you know Don't set yourself up for such a hard blow Before you start to sing that beautiful song Wait for the right one to come along My Daughter Just when you're not looking you'll see Come along that special bond and chemistry Before you start to sing that beautiful song Wait for the right one to come along My Daughter How it pains me to see you hurt For someone who doesn't see your worth Before you start to sing that beautiful song Wait for the right one to come along My Daughter I'm so sorry there are no guarantees Out in the forest amongst all those trees Before you start to sing that beautiful song Wait for the right one to come along My Daughter Stay strong and let yourself just be free What gifts you have for the world to see Before you start to sing that beautiful song Wait for the right one to come along My Daughter When your're hurting and all seems so black All along I'm behind you and will have your back But before you start to sing that beautiful song Wait for the right one to come along

Ah what can i say, first i was surprise to hear from you so soon i just made her a card and write those lovely words to her. She is going to show all her freinds. yes it's good your poem, the best advice. When we as parents show our kids love, and affection, not that they won't hurt but they would get over it soon as they are aware they have the love of their mom and dad. lovely i will read some more

Your love for your daughter shines in this poem, Scarlett. In fact, it reminds me of the words of wisdom my own mother imparted to me at an early age. Lots of good advice for young women here. You must be a terrific mother! Love, Carolyn

The repeating of the lines could come into the form of Villanelle or Triolet or Pantoume. I love this and it would be great to be read in all Junior High and High Schools. Sara
