Little Daughter

Little daughter

Have you grown tall?

Can you still make me proud?

Or I can regret having fathered you

 

Remember what I told you?

You are a unique vessel

That is priceless than gold

Different from all common vessels

 

Remember what I told you?

You are a rare gem

Like a blue rose

So, don\'t ever go on a begging price

 

Did you get me right dear?

I didn\'t mean you to look down on your fellows

But having that fairer pride

By sticking to your own values

 

Little daughter

Your body cannot be an investment

Rather, let thy brain be

A true foundation of good investment

 

Should you, think of following the world

Remember you are so unique

Should you think of going around the world

Remember you are a blue rose

 

Little daughter

Be innovative

Not a replica though

I want to be a proud father

 

Little daughter

Can you make me smile?

Can you make me laugh?

Please, don\'t ever make me want to cry
