More men need to know                                 

The importance they share

In the life of  a daughter

Who needs a dad’s care.

 

They need a strong man

Who is tender and true,

Who will teach them to value

The good that they do.

 

She needs his protection,

His thoughtful advice,

A  fair critic to teach her

How to be wise.

 

He needs to respect

Her body as hers,

To value her self

With a love that endures.

 

For a father must cherish

The trust of his daughter,

And come to her rescue

With life-giving water.

 

A father and daughter

Are a formidable pair.

Strength and compassion

Will always be there.
