daughter

It is not that you give birth to a child that matters most. Rather, it is what you birth into them.

On this Mother's Day and every day before and after, I thank you God for the precious gift of my three children. I love them unconditionally.

Work and happiness are like mother and daughter; work brings forth happiness, but hard work brings forth great happiness!

Be a hard worker. Work and happiness are like mother and daughter. Work brings forth happiness. Hard work brings great happiness. Enjoy life.

Are you going to spank me, daddy? I'm a very bad girl! (bending over naked)"Oh yeah daddy - spank my ass harder!!!

I felt like a trophy child, someone he had around to show off. It felt like it was more important that his daughter was perfect__ut, I was his daughter and I was neither of those things. I worked hard to get my grades, and I tried so hard to meet his expectations, but I failed. Over and over again, I fell short. I didn't measure up. That feeling never faded.

She's a people-mechanic and always knows when I'm malfunctioning.

I was the problem and the solution.

Part of me shall dwell in my daughter to call upon in times of need of course.

If you remember yourself, you will remember me. I am always a part of you. I am your mother.

That night, when the creature sleeps, when he sleeps, the mother escapes into her daughters_ room. She tells her daughter that the creature__ afraid of her having too much love, too much heart. She takes a tube of lipstick and drags it across her finger like a knife, marking it across her daughter__ cheeks, red, blood, war paint.

I never really grew up until I had kids.

If in poetry court she was calledto testify on matters whereI was condemned to imprisonment: parking my egoat a broken meter, line violations, forced rhyme,dealing stanzaics to children, shootingoff my mouth, getting cute, for even thislatest attempt at verse, she would tell the whole truth,she would admit from the pitof her unsung brilliance,from all of the paintings and poemsshe herself has been makingand storing in the vast empire of her singing soul, your Honor, my daughter is guiltyof plagiarizing my cells.

Do not expect too much from your child and she will grow in your love... But if you push her too much, you will push her away. A child is not yours to own but to raise. She may not be what you will have her to be, but she will be what she has to be. Remember what they say, that 'Wood may remain twenty years in the water, but it is still not a fish.

Mom hadn't met Ramon; her advocacy was more arm's length - petitions, the website, letter writing, meetings with politicians. Her friend Hanna had formed a close friendship with Ramon though, visiting him as often as she could. Hanna told me that Ramon's greatest regret was that he wouldn't get to see his daughter grow up.And Jeremy's dad, who had that opportunity, was just throwing it away.It made me furious, and I couldn't let it go.

A daughter is a rainbow - a curve of light through scattered mist that lifts the spirit with her prismatic presence. Is a shadow - a reminder of something brilliant ducking out of sight, too easily drawn away. She is an aria, swelling within the concern chamber, an echo reverberating across a miniature sea. She is a secret, whispered, a hint of what we cannot know until it finds us. She is a sliver of her father, a shard of her mother. A daughter is a promise, kept.

Your daughter's coming of age, you ought to let her see the world a little.

A Mother & Daughter's Love Is Never Separated
