I’ve been working on a poem to my unborn daughter because I look forward to becoming a mother one day and I’m excited to raise a well-rounded, intelligent bunch of babies :) Here’s a little taste of it…feel free to comment.
If I should have a daughter, I would show her that the world is her Oyster.
Nothing is more valuable than her knowledge of the world
Not what sits between her thighs because I need her to stand on her own.
Make her memorize poetry…you know…the original rap
Having her spitting her own lyrics over tight beats because I need her to be creative.
Teach her how to whip up a pie or simply bake brownies
Layer lasagna, slow cook gumbo because I want her to be self-sufficient.
If I should have a daughter, I shall name her Beautiful
On her worst days, I want her to feel like a Queen because she is.
I would teach her it’s okay to cry and show emotion,
Men call it hormonal but, I need her to be human.
I’ll teach her manners…to speak when spoken to….to apologize when she has done something wrong.
But to never ever apologize for who she is, how she feels and for what she wants, I want her proud.
