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.
