Hold My Bold Hand, Daughter Poem by John Sensele

Hold my old hand, daughter
Let's toast and boast on an East African coast, my darling
For strengths and lengths of family bonds lie in a shared laughter
You and dad together titillate palates of your royal ring.

Let's toast and boast on an East African coast, my darling
Doors and floors to your future fling wide open
You and dad together titillate palates of your royal ring
As on dad's heart love writes an audacious omen.

Doors and floors to your future fling wide open
Celebrate and fete your day and ray of glory
As on dad's heart love writes an audacious omen
To spell, tell and sell your life history and story.

Celebrate and fete your day and ray of glory
For strengths and lengths of family bonds lie in a shared laughter
To spell, tell and sell your life history and story
Hold my old hand, daughter.
