If I could talk to my daughter right now <br />I would tell her no matter what she has done I will be proud <br />no one can understand the unending river of emotions that i feel <br />and its so amazing because at this moment she is not yet real <br />i can almost feel her as she is placed in my arms <br />the safe haven that will keep her from any harm <br /> <br />if i could talk to my daughter right now <br />i would let her know what is not allowed <br />the rules would be simple and set firm in place <br />not because i want to be mean, but for just in case <br />i can understand what she goes through and when she needs space <br />just like when she gets heartbroken and needs a warm embrace <br /> <br />if i could talk to my daughter right now <br />all i would say is 'wow' <br />for the beauty she'll be blessed with will radiate brighter than the sun above <br />but the beauty inside her is what will make everyone fall in love <br />her laugh and her smile will be like sweet honey <br />she will be strong and gentle, honest and funny <br /> <br />if i could talk to my daughter right now <br />i wouldn't say anything at all... <br />because my love her would speak volumes.<br /><br />Sarah Mattingly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-could-talk-to-my-daughter-right-now/
