A Letter From Papa To His Daughter

A burning desire!
That of a father!
A burning desire!
The quest for excellent parental upbringing!

The love of a father!
So pure and gentle, like God’s affection for humanity!

Take a look at your self my daughter, just take a look; this is my wish for you, as you make the walk of life!

Calculate your steps, overlook the social vices!
Keep in mind that, no body can love you better than I do!
I need you to stay glued to the virtues I’ve always imbibed in you!

Take a closer look at the mirror, and know your worth baby girl!

Don’t be deceived, for bad company, corrupts good morals, my baby!

May God order your steps, for I perceive a virtuous woman in you!

Yes, I do!
We shall do this in a grand style on your day of marriage!

Be strong, and stay focused till my hair turns gray!

know that, daddy got your back baby girl!

Yes, I do, my angel!

Mum and I will be proud to hand you over to our In-laws, in a couple of decades, but till then, be different.
