Daughters God bless them <br />Little girls that grow to become women <br />But to a daddy they're always his little girls <br />Even after they make him a grandfather <br /> <br />I've been blessed twice myself <br />Never would I have traded them for a son <br />My daughters were my pride and joy <br />And I loved them more every single day <br /> <br />I remember the first time <br />One of them came to me with an adult problem <br />Instead of taking it to her mother <br />Asking me to help her understand men <br /> <br />I told her, let's make a deal <br />I'll help you understand men <br />And you'll help me understand women <br />We both got a big laugh out of that <br /> <br />With his daughter a man can be <br />The tender, loving person he really is <br />The side of himself he hides from the world <br />Lest it mistakes him for a wimp <br /> <br />A daughter is a gem, precious and polished <br />Even back in the day when she was a tomboy <br />Teased by the other girls for playing with boys <br />Yet growing up to be the most feminine of them all <br /> <br />God thank You for daughters <br />And for giving me two of my own <br />I will love and cherish them forever <br />And Heaven help anyone who hurts them<br /><br />Harry J.
