Letter To My Daughter Poem by Adewale Ajakanri

I'm writing down this letter, to my unborn daughter
Who before her first breath, my heart she's already
won
I love you more then anyone can devise
From the tips of your toes
To the sparkle in your
eyes
I love your beautiful hair and your tender skin

I tried all day and night seeking the best mother for you
I wanted a mother that would make you look perfectly just like her

I hold your mother's hand, and we plan out your
life,
We can picture your pure life
And we can see
your dove heart,
We know that you'll be great
And we are working hard to set the path for you

I love you my daughter with all my heart and soul
I'm so very excited, that I barely have control
I strive all day to get you the finest things of life
Believe me,
All my future wealth belongs to you
Your room is almost finished; it's the brightest
shade of blue
With gold around the edges, it's only the best for you


I have some words of wisdom, which I feel I must impart
Remember these words always, and keep them in
your heart
Dishonesty is bad; never use it to get by
Always tell the truth and never trust anyone
Never you think poorly of yourself; and be positive in your thinking
Don't you underrate any one
And try to use words in touching peoples life just like your dad

Always love your man as mum had done to me
Keep him first in your life
And he will always be there, to kiss away your sorrow
Always dish the table and support him
Pray for his greatness

Enjoy this thing called life but stay careful having fun
Close your eyes and take a leap
Try not to lose your temper; it's really no big deal
But my daughter if you must fight, do it for something
real

Take the time to listen to what people have to say
Remember your tree can't make a forest
And don't forget to smile; it could brighten someone's day
Try to live with patience, do it the best you can


Stand up for those who can't, and show the world that you're a heroine
Try finish what dad couldn't wait to finish
Be a good poet like dad and keep making words out of people you meet daily
Always be a leader, step forward never hide
Put yourself out there, and they'll stand by your side

These things I hope you learn, someday you'll
come to find
But for now they're just a dream kept in my heart
I do hope you come very soon so I could narrate all these for you
But if I fail to stay longer years with you,
I will write you this letter and hang it to your golden bed

Though your face I've never seen
But I do have to say
My Daughter You are gonna be the most beautiful creatures
My Daughter I love you so much
Now and forever
And everyday that comes between...
