Daddys Fear, My Wish

by HuggyQueenofCookies   Oct 30, 2006


Daddy has dreams
of me going to college
and getting a degree
he wants me to become successful
and live in prestige.
He fears I am going to throw my
life away
by getting married early
and that my only success (if you
could call it that)
is having babies.
For the longest time
because of my own fears
I agreed with my daddy.
I strove to achieve.
College would be the only
way out of this town..
But I only dreamed his dreams
for me.
And I now have realized
that his worst of fears
is my biggest wish.
I dream of getting married
and having kids.
Going to college
and getting a degree
sounds nice and fine
but I could still be happy
and feel satisfied without it.
This isn't what most women
of this day and age have as
a first priority
but for me
all I really want
is a husband who is the
light of my life
and a home
that is filled with children
to call my own
with their pictures in frames
hanging on the walls
where a doll or toy truck
is laying on the stairs
or in the halls
where there is a surprise
waiting each day as my kids learn and grow
and even the bad things
that they do
you laugh because it is cute
and funny..
all I really want is
to be a mommy.

**hmmm...don't know what category to put this one in...ideas appreciated!

thanks! xox.

    Oh yes these to are my dreams for our daughter however she has choosen a totally different path than you and i would have thought. It was one of a marriage or family but one of wanting to be free from doing what is right and caring whom she hurt in order to get what she wanted. So i say to you as a father your dreams of getting married and having a family would be welcoming dream and life. I pray that your father will understand if you do not wish to go on to college but some college or higher education will help in the long run young lady to help with that homework down the road. I really enjoyed this write. May your heart be filled with peace and joy each and everyday.
