# Our Daughter

Leomarich F. Casinillo

## Abstract

Many youths nowadays are difficult to deal with due to their adverse attitude that was affected by the polluted world. However, this problem can be prevented if we teach our children as early as possible about the right attitudes and conduct. Hence, this poetry elucidated the right information for parents to train their children to grow respectful and God-fearing. In addition, this poem portrays how God blesses a family with love and care. Furthermore, the poem is motivated by the word of God (Jesus Christ) in the Book of Proverbs chapter 22 verse 6 which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (King James Bible).

## Our Daughter

Mama! Dada! Look at me! Look at me! she said,
snubbing her persistence but kissing her forehead instead.
Her beautiful gesture mesmerizes us parents,
and we thank God for an angel that captures us in apparent.

As she grows, a stubborn demeanor appears,
what she wants, she insists that everyone is unfair.
She cries to the max, to get what she likes,
and as consciousness evolves, vanity behavior strikes.

As parents, necessary action must be taken with love,
and discipline her to become an upright child as mentioned by God.
Her negative attitudes must have consequences,
punishment must be part of our daughter's life process.

Nevertheless, our plans must be founded on the Bible,
as God teaches His people to do things adorable.
Guiding her for a relationship with God is a top priority
because having Jesus Christ in her heart is great security.
