To my little girl, Love Daddy

Forever stay my angel

my good little girl

forever

hold onto your innocence

grasp it

it’s forever yours

for as long as you want it to be

Don’t grow up

stay little

my little girl

stay little

don’t fall under the pressures

you’re strong

I know you are

because you’re daddy’s little girl

I worry though

I have to

It’s part of the contract I signed in being a Father

Kids are brutal

they are

They better not make fun of my little girl,

she’s a fighter

I just don’t want my fighter to have to take those hits at such a young age

My little girl if they laugh

laugh back even harder

even louder

because as my daughter you will always have the last laugh

you always will

Don’t let the other girls dictate your personality

you’re your own person

your own beauty

your own

Don’t let boys pressure you

my sweet daughter

don’t let them make you do anything you don’t want to

do you understand me

I said, “don’t let them make you do anything you don’t want to”

You have the rest of your life to grow up

so don’t rush it while everyone else is

you’re not like everyone else

you’re different

you’re my daughter

unique

loud

shy

eager

a dreamer

you’re my little girl

And never think that you’re too old to tell me anything

I’m always here for you

as your father

I will always be here for you

I will tell you the honest truth every time...

even when you don’t ask for it

Don’t grow alone

We will have our arguments

you will tell me you hate me

and it will crush me...it will

but I will know that you don’t mean it

but it will still hurt

but as a father I will have to take it

because I will always be your father before i am your friend

I will tell you to lower your skirts and to take off the makeup

You will hate me for that

you will explain to me that I am unfair and old

but I understand that it’s just your youth talking

Later on you will understand that I told you to lower your skirts because your attraction isn’t defined by the hike of it

but by the characteristics you hold from within

a personality that shines

a mind that’s smart

and I will tell you to wear less makeup because you’re beauty is the clean palette that God gave you

My little girl

My little girl

Daddy loves you

Do you understand me?
