"
A Tribute To Daughters "
Every home should
have a daughter,
for there"s nothing like a girl,
To keep the world around her
In one continuous whirl!
She is soft and sweet and cuddley,
but she"s also wise and smart,
She"s a wonderous combination
of a mind and brain and heart,
And even in her baby days
She"s just a born coquette,
And anything she really wants
She manages to get,
For even at a tender age
She uses all her wiles,
And she can melt the hardest heart
with the sunshine in her smiles.
She starts out as a rosebud
with her beauty unrevealed,
Then through a happy childhood
her petals are unsealed...
She"s soon a sweet girl graduate,
and then a blushing bride,
And then a lovely woman,
as the rosebud opens wide...
And some day in the future,
if it be God"s gracious will,
She too will be a mother
and know that reverent thrill,
That comes to every mother
whose heart is filled with love
When she beholds the"angel"
that God sent her from above,
And there would be no life at all
in this world or the other
Without a darling daughter
who in turn, becomes a Mother!
