Girls
| A Daughter is… A joy bringer, A heart warmer, A memory maker, A Daughter is Love. Why God Made Little Girls God made the world with the towering trees So God made cute little girls For the world when seen through a little girl’s eyes A daughter may outgrow your lap…but she will never outgrow your heart. Daddy’s Little Girl You’re the end of my rainbow, Chance made you my daughter…Love made you my friend. Little Sisters Thank you God for little sisters God gave me a sister Thank you God for little sisters Of mud you’ve got a faceful, Your clothing is disgraceful, And from your shoes and socks and sleeves Sand spills out by the caseful. You’re home from playground’s slaughter, In need of soap and water. “Boys will be boys” the saying goes, And boys, I guess, had “oughter.” But honey, you’re my daughter! Every house needs a little girl

My Daughter by Herman R Fillingane As time will come and go What Is A Girl? She’s a bundle of sweetness She’s Innocence covered with She’s a composite picture A bundle of mischief She can capture your heart But obedient, naughty, Song To Be Sung by the Father of Infant Female Children by Ogden Nash My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky; Contrariwise, my blood runs cold When little boys go by. For little boys as little boys, No special hate I carry, But now and then they grow to men, And when they do, they marry. No matter how they tarry, Eventually they marry. And, swine among the pearls, They marry little girls. Oh, somewhere, somewhere, an infant plays,
With parents who feed and clothe him. Their lips are sticky with pride and praise, But I have begun to loathe him. Yes, I loathe with loathing shameless This child who to me is nameless. This bachelor child in his carriage Gives never a thought to marriage, But a person can hardly say knife Before he will hunt him a wife. I never see an infant (male),
A-sleeping in the sun, Without I turn a trifle pale And think is he the one? Oh, first he’ll want to crop his curls, And then he’ll want a pony, And then he’ll think of pretty girls, And holy matrimony. A cat without a mouse Is he without a spouse. Oh, somewhere he bubbles bubbles of milk, Oh sweet be his slumber and moist his middle!
