Treat Your Daughter(S) Well Poem by Randy McClave

Men, treat your daughter(s) the way you treat their mother
Show them that there is no other,
Always show them love, and compassion and care
Then every night, you will then be in their thanks and prayer,
And if your daughter's mother and you are no more
Please don't ever take them to battles, especially to a war,
If you do you are creating a nasty dictum
Surely your daughter will soon become the first and worst victim.

Men, please don't ever treat your daughter's mother badly
Don't be a vindictive, hateful man mistreating gladly,
One day too, your daughter(s) will become a mom
And they will remember your every rhetoric, whisper and qualm,
They'll always remember how their mother by you was treated
Also how they were seen by you, and also greeted,
She will see and then judge all men by your actions deeds and word
And every one will be written down, and remembered as heard.

Men, every mother has a beautiful daughter indeed
And every life God has created, has come from a single solitude seed,
And when that life matures and then senses accusations brewing
The plant sadly and truly will eventually come to ruin,
Please forgive and forget as that will truly always last
Remember none of us can ever undo or redo our shaded past,
Fathers please treat your daughter(s) and their mother's well
In the end, God will judge you as your daughter(s) will tell.
