A Father's Letter To His Daughter Poem by David Page- aka Harry Riley
A Father's Letter To His Daughter
Little princess you've been born into wealth untold
You may live a long life and grow very old
Your every wish will be yours to command
With servants 'aplenty and always to hand
Your father has seen many years come and go
And now on his head you could note there is snow
One day you will rule in this kingdom of mine
Where the sun never sets but does not always shine
If you're honest and wise, then duty is clear
Keep trust in yourself, though schemers appear
Say bad thoughts of none and tell evil begone
And you'll sleep well at night, with your world put to right
Others can play, whatever the day, but not so a queen!
No time to relax, you will always be seen!
No sulking allowed, no temper must show
No hiding away...there is nowhere to go!
I have little more to write to guide you today...
Just keep faith with your star and you'll go very far
'Till you quietly rest, having given your best
'And serving Kindly for all, Sweet Angels may call'
***
David Page aka Harry Riley

I wonder what's behind your two names, hmm? A third name? I give 4 1/2 stars, ....call it 5. I like rhyming and noticed you changed at times from end-of-line(s) rhyming to middle-and-end-of line rhyming. It's still good. bri ;)
