Poems About Daughter

1. A Treasure
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   A daughter is a treasure, that's true
   When you're down and feeling blue
   You look into her smiling eyes
   And you will find your spirits rise.
   
   She can give you a smile
   That can make life worthwhile
   She has a way
   That makes your day.
   
   Be thankful for this little one
   She will bring into your life lots of fun
   She will love and care for you
   Because that is what daughters always do.

2. Being A Daughter
   Poet: Mary Carolyn Davies
   
   Being a daughter's not an easy thing -
   The sort of daughter that I'd like to be:
   Unselfish, patient, always quick to bring
   The comfort needed; keen enough to see
   The longings hard to guess at, and fulfill them,
   The lonelinesses and the fears, and still them.
   
   Being a daughter's not an easy thing -
   I've always really wanted my own way.
   And so it's hard to keep remembering
   That what seems right and good to us today,
   To older minds brings horror and alarm,
   Although it may not have a bit of harm!
   
   Being a daughter's not an easy thing -
   Putting aside rebellion, eagerness;
   For, though some days I long to have my fling,
   I know that the old path of loveliness,
   Of quietness and calm, sweet dignity,
   Is better than those roads more gay to see.
   
   Being a daughter's not an easy thing -
   The sort of daughter that I'd like to be:
   To share my rose, keep to myself the sting,
   And show a face of calm serenity;
   Being a daughter — it's a task severe,
   But it's my favorite choice of a career!




3. The Last Arrival
   Poet: George W. Cable
   
   There came to port last Sunday night
   The queerest little craft,
   Without an inch of rigging on;
   I looked and looked and laughed!
   It seemed so curious that she
   Should cross the unknown water
   And moor herself within my room
   My daughter! oh, my daughter!
   
   Yet by these presents witness all
   She's welcome fifty times,
   And comes consigned in hope and love
   And common-metre rhymes.
   She has no manifest but this;
   No flag floats o'er the water;
   She's rather new for our marine
   My daughter! oh, my daughter!
   
   Ring out, wild bells, and tame ones too!
   Ring out the lover's moon!
   Ring in the little worsted socks!
   Ring in the bib and spoon!
   Ring out the muse! Ring in the nurse!
   Ring in the milk and water!
   Away with paper, pen, and ink!
   My daughter! oh, my daughter!

4. A Head Of Curls
   Poet: Kate Summers
   
   I remember the day
   It was special in every way
   My darling little girl
   Born with a head of curls.
   
   I could see the princess in you
   The day you made your debut
   So tiny and small
   You were like a perfect doll.
   
   We watched you grow
   We were so proud we glowed.
   Our precious little girl
   With that head full of curls.
   
   The years have gone too fast
   We realize as we look back to the past
   You have made us proud
   We say this out loud.
   
   Our daughter, our treasure
   Always remember
   You are a special girl
   And you still have your curls!

   one who helps when you are in a bind.

7. Sons and Daughters
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   We always love our sons,
   But a daughter brings lots of fun.
   From tea parties and lots of dolls
   And many tears when they fall.
   
   A son is rough and tough
   But a daughter can be a puff
   Pretending and dressing up
   Washing dishes with only a rub.
   
   A son does not care about looks
   But a daughter fusses and reads all the books.
   They paint their nails
   And scream at snails.
   
   A son will play with Dad's tools
   But a daughter thinks they are a fool.
   They don't like dirt or mud
   And cry at the sight of blood.
   
   Sons are special in all they do
   But our daughters are loved too.
   Differences you will see
   But loving them both is so easy!




Son Poems



8. If It Be A Daughter
   Poet: J. B. Cohan
   
   If it be a daughter,
   Teach her to be as gentle as the dew at dawn
   Settling on a blade of grass;
   Show her the grandeur in a ragged leaf.
   And in a winding road,
   And in a single star.
   Teach her to be forgiving, tolerant and kind;
   For kindness is lovelier than any glittering gown
   Or any silver slipper.
   Show her the greatness of all simple things,
   And the majesty of the roaring, foaming sea;
   Place in her hands the shining threads
   With which to weave ideals, with which
   To bind securely the love of life
   Given to her by you.
   
   Teach her that if she would be great.
   She must make fine use of common things:
   A tiny house with curtains,
   A kitchen, a man and a child.
   Give her the knowledge you have gained
   From singing winds and bending trees
   And wistful smiles.
   Give her belief in books.
   Though they be but of paper and worn;
   For if she would know peace in spirit and in heart,
   She would read, with all the eagerness
   Of a flower, forcing its bloom above the earth.
   And, lastly, teach her to live as quietly
   As the magic passing of the moon
   Over a smooth, clear space of sky.
   This I ask, O Lord,
   If it be a daughter.
