What Is A Daughter
A Daughter is a rainbow bubble
A star glimmering in the sky
A rosebud after a storm
A caterpillar turning into a butterfly

A daughter is hair flying in the wind
Red cheeks that glisten in the sunshine
Big daydream eyes

A daughter is a wonder
A sweetness, a secret, an artist,a perception, a delight.
A daughter is everything beautiful
A daughter is love.

Dreams

Daughter, may all your dreams come true
Lean against a tree and dream your world of dreams
Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome obtstacles
Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them
Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature
Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know
Don't be afraid to show your emotions, laughing and crying make you feel better
Love your friends and family with your entire being
They are the most important part of your life.
Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day and plan what you want to accomplish in life
Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams.

To My Daughter with Love on the Important Things in Life - Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

A mother tries to provide her daughter with insight
into the important things in life
in order to make her life
as happy and fulfilling as possible.

A mother tries to teach her daughter
to be good, always helpful to other people
to be fair, always treating others equally
to have a positive attitude at all times
to always make things right when they are wrong
to know herself well
to know what her talents are
to set goals for herself
to not be afraid of working too hard to reach her goals.

A mother tries to teach her daughter
to have many interests to pursue
to laugh and have fun every day
to appreciate the beauty of nature
to enter into friendships with good people
to honor their friendships and always be a good friend
and to particularly respect and love our elder members
to use her intelligence all times
to listen to her emotions
to adhere to her values

A mother tries to teach her daughter
to not be afraid to stick to her beliefs
to not follow the majority when the majority is wrong
to carefully plan a life for herself
to vigorously follow her chosen path
to enter into a relationship with someone worthy of herself
to love this person unconditionally with her body and mind
to share all that she has learned in her life with this person

If I have provided you with an insight
into most of these things
then I have succeeded as a mother
in what I hoped to accomplish in raising you
if many of these slipped by
while we were all so busy
I have a feeling you know them anyway
One thing I am sure of though,
I have taught you to be proud of the fact
that you are a woman equal to all men and
that I have loved you every second of your life
I have supported you at all times
as a mother, as a person, and as a friend
I will always continue to Cherish and love
everything about you
my beautiful daughter.
