~TO THE BOYS WHO MAY ONE DAY DATE MY DAUGHTER~ (Jesse Parent) Be careful to only approach me with love for my daughter, See, I have been seeding her childhood with tap-root hugs To weed out indifference and apathy, There will be no Daddy Issues for your teenage talons to latch upon. If you BREAK HER HEART; I will hear it snap with the EAR I pressed against her MOTHERS BELLY- The elbow I cradled her head in will send a message to my fist. My cheeks Are attuned to her lips. I will know if they tremble. I have taught her that a man should never hit a woman- Now her mother would like to add that you really shouldn’t ever hit anybody- But I have taught her that a man should never hit a woman. Consider my genes a mark of Cain; You will suffer seven times whatever you do to her, And she will not keep your secret: You can’t make fire feel afraid. I have been teaching her love all of her life, And all that I ask is that you CONTINUE THE LESSON. Love her. Befriend her. Protect her- be there when I can’t, and when my body gives up to the grave, Let the grin that eternity carves into my face be a reflection of the peace that your love brings to her, And we should get along just fine…
