A Daughter is a Daughter

You have a child
In your early years
With your eyes
Wide open
You fail to see
Your children grow
Up into maturity
A daughter is yours
For all of your life
Even after marriage
As a young mans wife
But a Son is a Son
In his formative years
A legacy for you
Of heart-break and tears
He marries one day
The girl of his dreams
But the girl that he weds
Is not all that she seems
Possessive and jealous
Of his own mum and dad
The love that he gave
When he was a lad
So the adage is true
Of the wise ones of old
" A daughter
is a daughter
for all of her life
A Son is a son
Till he takes a wife"
Peter 2008 (we were unlucky)
