A LOVED DAUGHTER

A LOVED DAUGHTER

A wondrous treasure,

Continuous pleasure

Joy and laughter,

That's my daughter.

Bathtime fun and bubbles,

Bedtime tales and cuddles.

'Til suddenly,

Inexplicably,

The darling daughter,

Blossoms into teenage tartar,

Beautiful fledgling

'pon fluttering wing,

Testing, trying, probing.

Sweet unreasonable daughter.
