you're fine just as you are
She runs through the back gate
Shouting she stamps her feet
It's not fair Daddy !
I want something to eat !
So I smile and I ask her
What's wrong ? what is unfair ?
Daddy I don't like glasses
And I want big blonde hair
Dinners almost ready
What is it ? I hear you say
Your favourite rice and chicken
Oh Dad we have that every day !
So why do you want blonde hair
All boys love eastern charms
She frowns and breathes a big sigh
Tightly crossing her arms
I want to have skin like yours
Daddy what is a chink ?
Baby.....it's a word for beautiful
By those who cannot think
But Daddy......
No buts baby, you're fine just as you are
As you grow up
Your looks alone
Will take you very far

AUTHORHa same here I adore her skin colour !! Typical human nature even as adults we all want what we don't have ! Lol x
I understand. My ex is Morrocan. My kids have darker skin and hair. Both of them, at different times, when they were young, asked why their skin wasn't lighter. The irony of that is how much damage I probably did to my skin trying to be dark like them!

Thank you btrbell X
She really is beautiful but like all kids wants something different !!! X
Thia is so incredibly beautiful, just as Savannah is!
I loved your poem.
She is already beautiful on the outside; and you as her dad are reassuring her just how brilliant she is.
Great pictures as well.
Voted Awesome :)
Well 'you' are still the hottest dude in Hubland my Bro because of your big beautiful heart and the ability to spell it out in your divine words and yes your lovely daughter is so lucky to have you as her dad and I should know a thing or two about that because my dad (and my mum) were my two best friends ever ...... sending to you my sincere warmest wishes to you and your family from Colin and his cat crew Tiffy and Gabriel at lake erie time ontario canda 7:05pm
Hi Simba73. I like this poem because a positive self image is so important in little girls these days. The media can really make it hard to feel pretty if you are the least bit different. Hearing positive things from your Dad can really make a child feel special. I am happy that your little girl has a dad like you.
Voted up. This was just delightful. You tell her that I said she is lovely and has a winning smile. Hugs to you both.
Aw, lovely poem. Dad's are so important in the self-esteem of their lovely daughters. She is beautiful just the way she is no doubt, and I am glad you are telling her so.
Voted up ++++ and sharing
Blessings, Faith Reaper

Hey Shauna, so glad you liked the poem, i've ben off the boil with writting for a bit but felt my muse come back !!! theres more coming ;) X
Hey, Jon! It's so good to see you again. I love this poem. It seems Savannah is already criticizing her femininity. You're right to tell her she's fine just the way she is. She's absolutely beautiful! However, you might want to shake up the chicken and rice a bit. Ha ha!
