Listen Daughter 1

Listen, dear daughter, with heart and soul, For the wisdom I impart, is a guiding role. Love begins with loving God, and loving yourself too, For self-love is the foundation, on which all else is built anew. Believe me, you're special, a gem so rare, Don't lose yourself, in the noise, and the glare. Don't be a doormat, that anyone can tread, Respect yourself, and your worth, will be forever wed. When you look in the mirror, don't be ashamed, Of the person you see, with a heart that's not tamed. Don't let beauty's lure, lead you down a dark path, For dignity matters most, in life's every aftermath. The body is demanding, with needs and desires so strong, But self-control is key, to a life that's lived all day long. Be mindful of what you put in, for it's a choice you make, Don't be a wild fruit, that's plucked, and consumed, without a sake. Don't be like a public place, where anyone can roam, And leave you messy, without a thought, or a home. If you need something, work for it, don't expect it free, For nothing's given, without effort, and a willingness to be. Be an example, of a good child, with values so bright, Be good, and kind, and gentle, with a heart that's full of light. Don't be vindictive.
