Poem Artwork

There're so many carings

At the daughters rearing,

Far from that of the sons.
 

Once they are born,

They must be led and

Guided heedfully:

Pillow their heads,

Driving away their small fears,

Slap their behinds,

Teaching them how

To watch their tongues. . .

 

If they cannot grasp

How to manage mopping

And brooming practices,

They hardly can cope then

With washing and cooking.

 

Old lady neighborly said

To one of my girls:

'When you grow up,

You won’t surpass your mom.'

Daughters are harder to raise...so I've heard.

Always,

Girls, 'They must be led and guided heedfully'
I truly agree.

I'm so glad my mother, when she grew up, surpassed her mother in many ways.

Glad I never had a daughter to worry about when she took her first date.

Ron
