Best Daughters Poems

In the inner city there is a little girl.
 Who dreams about a different  world.

There is no fresh air for her to breathe.
 No lovely flowers for her to see.

No yard to go and play and swing.
 No, not much of anything.

Her mother toils...

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING 

Hear Ye, Hear Ye,
Oh Daughters of the King.
From creation’s crown, to our glorious gown,
Let Heaven and nature sing!

Awake, Align, Acclimate,
Bring it on, Beautify.
Cutie-fy, Culminate, 
Culinary Captivate. 

Duty bound, Dedicate,
Delish the Dish, Decorate,
Dare to Dance, Demonstrate,
Dance before the King! 

Embark upon, Easy...

My daughters, I’m so very proud of you.
You have grown to become, fine young women.
Let not your hearts or lives be ruled by men.
Stand fast, and to your own desires be true.
Take what you need, but no more than your due.
Act cautiously, you are noblewomen.
Speak...

Your innocence          your purity         your smile
So open                    so natural...

Asphyxiated and found dead
Raped and found dead
Unsure what happened, and found dead
Nepali women found dead

Snake bitten and found dead
Eaten by tigers and found dead
Left in a small dark menstrual hut 
And found dead

Nepali women found dead
Shunned and labelled unclean
Ostracized for the wonderful way
God has insured...

To daughters,
we failed to love
Who entered into love
 feeling like
 someone else's No one.
Sorry we passed
 our daddy issues
onto you.
Feeling abused,
we overcorrected
by neglecting you.
You misinterpreted
the way we filled
life's supply and demand
and added to your
 feelings of being
unwanted.
Sorry our truth
was confusing
We didn't know how
important tea parties...

To see the world through your eyes…

An aching heart is cured simply by a kiss…

With paper and crayon a new Picasso is hung…

Coffee cans and cooking pots are an orchestra…

A twig is a swashbuckler’s sword saving the day…

Even alone you create new friends to fill...

If in love to wife desire’s rife,
And to son there seems ambition,
To daughters, tranquil run waters. 

If she may outgrow father’s lap,
She always stays within heart’s map,
Distance may grow, gulf there’s, nor gap. 

A daughter is like a rainbow,
A lifelong source that gets to grow,
A...

In distance, a daughter's heart does ache,
Mentally wounded by her mother's stake.
Words flung forth, cutting deep within,
Leaving scars unseen, a battle she can't win.

A mother's love should nurture and heal,
But here, a pain that time can't conceal.
From afar, a presence felt so near,
Leaving the daughter's...

I screamed at her 
like some wicked hellion
trying to rip apart her world.
I was the embodiment of rivalry.

She was growing older. I fed on the rage
I stole from her, I loved young,
I loved hard and fast, and anyone
she hated. I loved like a forest fire

and...

Oh my beautiful Daughters
what have you done to the men of the Earth,
turning the roar of men's' love into notes of shame and whispers,
discoloring the gallant glow of trust with untempered lust for popular worth,

I made you to be embodiment of something sacred,
a steadfast source...

The daughter who loved her father as salt
Was flung out of his realm
He favored the daughters who loved him
As sweet honey, as much money,
But tides pull back as they do
And abundance of life changes
All the daughters may have equal claims,
But bitter salt is sometimes needed
More...

Chastity is the jewel of a girl and character ,the ornament of a woman
Exalted are the women  of such ornamentation

Like a diamond , like a precious stone 
Not to  expose , A girl of such Tone(Type)

Like a motherland , like a home
The dignity...

They were able to see the sun at last, to look
all around, finally breathe without burqas
     begin a new chapter.
Their words held more confidence.
Is respect too large a word, perhaps not when
     whispered with laughter.

Wearing smiles and...

The swings you go through with a child
Are not unlike a coaster wild.
The terror, stark, when they arrive:
“How do I keep this kid alive?”
“What idiot allowed discharge,
And placed with me a care so large?”

When you have lost all hope of sleep,
And dark depression settles deep,
Then...
