13 Wishes for Dads With Daughters

I wish for a world where every daughter will know her dad loves her completely, from her head to her toes.  

I long for the day when every dad will inspire the gifts in his daughter, saying she can go higher.

I want every girl to believe she can do it while her dad cheers her on as she learns to intuit.

I dream of a time when all girls have their voice because dad modeled to them that it’s good to have choice. 

I pray for the truth inside each precious daughter of who she really is to be shaped by her father. 

I believe a dad’s love does more then he knows to counter the impact of life’s cruel blows.

I know a girl thrives with consistent support from her dad’s heart to hers through each option she sorts.

I plead with you, dad, to give more and still more to your daughter’s heart place so to heights she can soar.

I hope beyond hope that no girl ever wonders if she is worth loving, you must forgive blunders.

I urge you, dear dad, not to downplay your role and as proof of your impact, look deep in her soul.

I appeal to you, dad, as a woman myself so you know your investment is above earthly wealth.

I beg you right here because now is the time to fine-tune your words so your daughter will shine.

I celebrate knowing that dreams do come true.
