My Daughter
My daughter
I have seen you blossom to a beautiful flower
You may not realize what this means
You are my daughter
I know your worth
Take a look in my heart
Pay attention to heartbeat as I talk to you
The beating is a symbol of my love
The day it stop beating
I will not be around to care for you
I'm giving my words as necklace
Not just a piece of art but a protection
Adorn yourself with my sayings
One day I will be forced to release you
Like a chick flying out of its nestling for the very first time
You too will leave the nest you call home with no experience to navigate this world
Out there are multiple of bird catchers and are hungry for nieve little girls
My daughter don't be fooled by their sweet confession of love
Test their expression to your satisfaction
Love endure all things and is patient
Refined love is hard to find like hidden treasures
Love dwells in the bosom of honest hearted one
Respect and patience is the only keyset to open closed chest and see what is inside
Don't rush to fall in love because love might be your biggest downfall
Don't be afraid to be alone if you are searching for TRUE love
Love proclamation falls loosely in tongues of deceptors
You need to experience love to attest its existence
Love cannot be bought by money or material possessions
My daughter know your worth
Joy supercede all things money can buy
Money provides protection not happiness
Material possessions afford you comfort not love and joy
All these are important when placed in their rightful place
My daughter know your worth
You worth more than all pearls combined because you are my daughter
