She dried my tear

Tomorrow I think I’m going to get legally registered to own a shot gun
No, Not necessarily for protection
but for that future son that thinks he’s going to date my daughter with the intentions of getting some
Yeah my daughter may only be three
and has quite the ways to go before she reaches 23
cuz that’s damn near the age she’s going to have to be
Before I even remotely think of letting her go free
And as funny as that may be
it’s more like a testament of just how much she means to me
The fruit of my seed
a product of me and each day I look into her eyes I see
the blueprint of tomorrows future Queens.
And that’s exactly what I plan on raising her to be
Cuz way before the days of her Birth
I made that vow that as long as I’m on this earth
No child with my blood in their veins would ever have to search
Or ever have to deal with the kind of hurt of not knowing what they are fully worth
Cuz they only have 1 parent to bear the entire burden
No from a very young age I was certain that I was going to be the best dad that I could be
Just like my dad was to me and his dad was to he
I come from a Strong lineage of men in my family tree
Who understands that in order to be even called a man
You sometimes have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
Which sometimes can feel like boulders
Forcing you to bend over in defeat and its like every day life hands those boulders down to me
But all It takes for me is to look into my daughters face and see
That she’s the reason why I bleed and cry with the sweat drippin in my eyes
Mustering the strength to make it by to get through another day
To provide all the things that she could possibly need
Make sure she comprehends that she will never have to rely on another man
To do what she can do for herself or the things that I can
She will know what True love from a man really is
and will never have fall for that Puppy luv bliss
She’ll even understand how to deal with having her heart broken
And that dude that breaks her heart will have to sleep with his eyes open
But we’ll save those details for yet another poem
See my daughter will have my by her side at all times
I ask her the other night If she trust me
And her reply was
"I trust you TTTthhhhiiiis Muuucchhh" (stretching her arms as wide as she can)
And an uncontrollable tear came from my eye
Which she wiped and replied
Daddy Don’t Cry!
And in that momentmy vow was solidifed
I would always dry her eye Just as she dried mine!
