Daughters
Its funny isn't it what life as taught us
As a dad i've been through it all with 3 teenage daughter's
From the second there born your life forever change's
Its a rollercoaster ride of emotion's and range's
The sleepless night's soothing them as they grow older
Day's turn to month's to year's and they grow bolder
The teething, the first tooth, you thank the lord for gripe water
I don't mind the panda eye's the sleepless night's i love her she's my daughter
The excitement and joy when she first start's walking
The never get again feeling when she first start's talking
And then....come the terrible 2,s my life's at an end
It stretch's on forever feel's like im going round the bend
Her first day at nursery afraid she tug's at my heart-string's
My first day without her and the missing her it bring's
I watch her grow and grow and our bond is unbreakable
It's a love you can't measure it's quite simply unshakeable
As she turn's from 12 to 13 it hit's me.........oh my god
Where's she gone where's my baby who's this little sod
The stamping of the feet the ranting and raving
Me wanting my baby back it's allmost a craving
And when it can't get any worse it does dummy gone and out go my toy's
My worst fears are realised yes you guessed it she's discovered...........boys !!!!!
Now if your a dad of a teenage daughter
If boys are an issue your not thinking straight its like slow water torture
There's not a boy on this planet no where near good enough
Despite her plea's "dad he's nice" i say" your not seeing him tough"
And then come's the dreaded day "dad ive got something to tell you"
I think the worst my god a grandad im to young im only 42
Then she say's "dad im going steady" not as bad but still not good
I'm still not happy rattle out of pram im baying for his blood
"Dad can he come for tea" my little girl with a boyfriend my heads pounding
I say "ok no problem" i'm thinking when i don't like him she's headed for a grounding
The day arrive's i make him feel nervy and twitchy feeling satisfied i've done my work
When they have left i envisage him saying to my daughter "what's his problem your dad's a jerk"
Moving on and through the year's my daughter flourises and sprout's
She's done all the hanging on the street corner's with the yob's and the lout's
She's 16 now and it's her high school prom
You reflect and look back wondering where the time's gone
She's a beautiful young lady now and spreading her wing's
I've got 2 daughters below her and all that bring's
I love my daughter's there beautiful,loving and giving
I'd lay down my life for them there my world my very reason for living[/font]

Hi stan. Now what can I tell you.
Yes I have three Daughters.
Yes I was a grandfather at 42.
And yes I love them all.
Your poem hit every nail on the head.
