Don’t Forget To Love Our Daughters (A Poem)

Don’t Forget to Love Our Daughters


Be the first man who captures her heart
Tell her she is beautiful both inside and out
Hugs and Kisses are sure to make her feel loved
Expectations like these she will grow to cherish and adore
Holding her doors and pulling her chairs out begins with you
Set the tone from the start so these things won’t be anything new
Showing her how she should be treated early is only the beginning

Creating a confident girl will turn her into a confident woman
Let her know that loving herself first is the greatest foundation
So that she won’t need to seek it from others as some form of validation
Teach her that she deserves to be treated with the utmost respect

And if she encounters someone who doesn’t, she’ll walk away without regret
She won’t feel the need to stay in something where she is not truly loved
Because she’ll remember all that was instilled in her and her choices in life won’t seem so tough
So don’t forget to love our Daughters and plant the seed of love
Because her first idea of Love was created by you and sets the bar highly above
