A Daughter's Poem by Anthony Jackson

In the laughter of daughters, I find my joy,

Their presence, a love that nothing can destroy.

With every step they take, so bold and bright,

They fill my world with endless delight.

Their dreams are stars that light up the night,

Guiding them through life with all their might.

With courage in their hearts and a spirit so free,

My daughters, you're everything I hoped you'd be.

So, here's to the girls, my pride and my grace,

In your warm embrace, my heart finds its place.

On this Daughter's Day, I want you to know,

Your love and presence make my life glow.

Daughter's Day is a reminder to celebrate the incredible daughters in our lives every day, and to empower them.
