I sat on concrete porch with  enclosed porch watching my daughter
Getting ready  to venture to the laundry mat, twenty-one, wise  single
College educated the same college where I received my degree
Thinking just how thankful as her father I am for her
And that she's here with me, one so young  yet so accomplished
Any father would be proud. At thirteen she was a supervisor at local
Church ,getting a salary. At fifteen she was a founding member of the
Germantown \Settlement Choir and a cheer leader at sixteen for Ba

mtoms football team,also she started swimming in the Roxborugh
Doing  Cart wheels on our side lawn. So as you can see leadership
and also kindness to all have always been in her blood,
And I bless the day that she was born
