To Daughter’s Everywhere

To Daughters Everywhere

 

 

I thought I knew it all

I was almost seventeen

I hated they didn’t understand me

You all know what I mean?

 

I’ve shed so many tears

As I lay awake at night

Another argument with them

Seems like I never win.

 

He said he loves me deeply

He says there’s no one else

Why can’t you parents get it?

Won’t you understand a bit?

 

When I am with him alone

And he whispers in my ear

When he says he wants to show me

I don’t want to run and flee.

 

Maybe you’ve never felt this

The true meaning of real love

Because then you would permit this

Just some hugs and a little kiss.

 

Oh mommy, I didn’t listen

What am I going to do

He said I had to show him

Or he’d leave for one of them.

 

The nurse, she sat me down

And she took my hand in hers

She said the words so ugly

I am now a mommy to be.

 

I saw my mommy cry

Big alligator tears

She took me in her arms

As if protecting me from harm.

 

“I didn’t want this to happen

I know how you must feel

Because years ago my head swirled

And now I have you baby girl.”
