Daughters Bring

Bells, that ring
Birds, who sing
Butterflies, on the wing
Clothes, too short, too cling
Songs, I would not sing
I don't know, what's that thing
A phone, that never stops its ring
Going to school, to hear them sing
Kisses, for that sore bee sting
On the car, a new ding
When their sad, they need to cling
Soon enough, up they spring
Full of life, off they zing
New boy-friends, home they bring
Soon I know, there may be, a ring
A wedding after, perhaps in spring
Hoping, it's, a far off thing
Kisses and hugs, for me, the king
These are the treasures, that Daughters bring

Oh wow this is very hard to do. To be able to write time in rhyme is really tough. You make it look so easy. I have done this before. Its harder than it looks to tell a story all the way through.
