A Date With Daddy. Poem by Rose Kanana
A Date With Daddy.
Daughter like wine you have grown to be my fine girl
You have grown wings to enable you patch on the tallest branch
You are now a woman; daughter remember?
Under my wings you no longer hide
Daughter, you are chasing your dreams
The dreams that give you society titles
The dreams that fatten your handbag
but you have denied daddy the title he cherishes most
The title we discussed- the title of honor.
I want to be a grandfather my daughter
But daddy, you told me babies are bought
I have shopped in all the big and small malls
What i see are breathless beautiful dolls
I am still transfixed to your response...
Where do babies come from daddy?
Are they still bought in malls to date?
Daughter, i send you to school to learn biology
Biology applies to your life
Your teacher must have taught you the lessons we shy'd away from
Don't digress my daughter
Literature is driving you crazy
i speak of Biology your speak about poems
I want to be a grandfather my daughter
Daddy i promise you the best
My plans and Gods plan must concur
In Him all things are made beautiful in his time
His voice i will listen to first
Daddy don't be hard on me
I am just your baby girl
Daughter you must roll your eyes with affection
Roll them well at work, church and social gathering
You must know daddy no longer beats you for greeting boys
you must unlearn what i told you in yester years about men
You must believe what i tell you now
I want to be a grandfather my daughter.
Daddy comes by killo newton force, he cannot wait anymore, I love the way you replied saying, But daddy, you told me babies are bought I have shopped in all the big and small malls What i see are breathless beautiful dolls I am still transfixed to your response... Where do babies come from daddy? Are they still bought in malls to date? - you remind myself of older days, where babies were bought!
Very well written. I like this poem because it shows how parents don't speak in direct words to their children. Real life situations depicted here.
Oh the love for daddy to Daughter then comes the society pressure on bachelors and bachelorettes. Daddys demand and daughter not in concurrence good piece here.A must read for all people who make other persons business theirs.
Good piece for daddy.i like the innocent responses from daughter
hahhahhahaah my mum should read this! arume tii atano nyakwe ngakwona ung'ora ng'oretie tuguru njirene nabo
Oh! Daddy's love. You have crafted so well the unsolicited society expectations....all parents should read this and learn how to handle their children
