In many traditional cultures, fathers and mothers would pray for a boy who would be able to help in the field. In these cultures, the value of daughter was not understood. A father has a special relationship with his daughter as she will judge all men by his standard. A mother's task is to show her daughter the complex task of growing into a woman. We no longer live in an agricultural society and woman are free to accomplish intellectually and occupationally what they couldn't in the past. A daughter may one day play the role of mother and wife. Raising a daughter is an infinite gift.

If you could see what I see when I look at you,
You'd definitely love you, too.
You would hold your head up high,
For you possess beauty that no one can deny.
She's not a baby anymore
It's a happy kind of sad,
When babygirl turns to daughter
And 'Da-Da' turns to Dad.

Love's force swells my heart
Until it feels tender and bruised.
I look at my daughter and see myself reflected in her face.
My bones, my flesh and blood run through her.
Lovely poem. A nicely composed piece. Watching a child grow can be amazing, but missing them cannot be avoided.
God rewarded my life with the smile of my baby girl.
She's brought great joy to me since the hour she entered the world.
Her spirit allows me to see the beautiful world through her eyes.
That child has made a mammoth improvement for many people's lives.
I have 3 daughters and 6 grandkids. I'm blessed to have them all in my life. This poem represents exactly how I feel. Very good.
For the first time, I saw your face,
And in my heart you filled that space.
I closed my eyes, and you were one,
Wow this was an unexpected thought which happens I am sure in every mother's life but rarely thought over, and very carefully placed. It left a smile on my face. Thank you for this beautiful...

"At last! I've finally found happiness," she said.
Roses and butterflies danced in her head.
No more sadness, heartache, or pain,
For this man will make her whole again.
