If I only had a daughter
I would pass along to her
All the things I've learned in life
The things that are and those that were
I would try to smooth her way
When everything was getting rough
Still, to have me for her mother
Might be handicap enough

Having included a poem I wrote for my stepson, it's only fair that I include one I wrote for my stepdaughter as well. ;-)
I have read this in public but this is the first time it appears in print.
