If I Had a Daughter
If I had a daughter,
she would be the gorgeous image
of Jehovah's favor.
Even her adornment-
marked by love and her compassion.
She would be a modest woman
loved forever by Jehovah.
If I had a daughter,
she would be protected.
I would never give her over
to a man who doesn't love her.
She would have my deep affection.
When she calls me, I will answer.
I would listen, I would teach her
with Jehovah's guidance.
If I had a daughter,
I can't picture her abandoned.
Rather I would have her
know she has a happy, loving father
and she has him forever.
