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
