DEAR DAUGHTER....Thus far, recriminations; Over the years, scarifications; Through it all, discriminations. #DayoftheGirl #DearDaughter

I carry them in my lashes looking down always in submission; my tongue twisting when I so desperately want to defend myself #DearDaughter

I carry them in where and when I am allowed to go; I carry them in my inability to count the coins of my hard labour #DearDaughter

I have wondered many times “Is this all?”
I have searched the meaning of life and asked “Is this all?” #DearDaughter #DayoftheGirl

I have tasted bile and guile thinking “Is this all?”
Then you came, dear daughter.
It was a mixed feeling of fear and hope #DearDaughter

You came through my pain;
My pain of limited opportunities,
My pain of failed expectations.. #DearDaughter @fegolistic @fullandfree

My pain of rejection and abuse, My pain of forced union, My travail of nonentity.. #DearDaughter @FunkeBaruwa @WumiShubby

As I sat in the corner of my sparse life, I dreamt many dreams, I dreamt of days when I will have freedom to choose.. #DearDaughter @LJSMD

I dreamt of a time when I'll wake without fear, dreamt of people & places I wish I knew, dreamt of a life so differnt 4m this #DearDaughter

Dear Daughter, now that you are here, I will dream through you; I will teach you what they refused to teach me..#DearDaughter #DayoftheGirl

I'll show you what was hidden 4m me; I'll love you with affection I never experienced; I'll push you on & not pull you back #DearDaughter

Oh! How I dream…
Though afraid and unsure, my dreams for you are many...#DearDaughter #DayoftheGirl @samsugombwer @gbonjute

I dream that you will rule your world; whichever one you desire to build for yourself... #DearDaughter #DayoftheGirl @praisefowowe

I dream that you will be unstoppable; whatever height you set your sights on...#DearDaughter @Desolas @Olurounbi

I dream that you will be unforgettable; making your mark in the world through your gifts and talents...#DearDaughter #DayoftheGirl

I dream you'll be free; not conforming to any standard but yours. Standards you've set for yourself through knowledge/wisdom #DearDaughter

I dream you'll be happy; whatever happiness means to you; that you'll be fulfilled; emptying yourself b4 you leave this world #DearDaughter

My hope for u is that you believe in yourself much more than I do. Dear Daughter, you're my dream; now I will live through u. #DearDaughter
