To My Beautiful Daughter Poem by Lloyd Cresci

All I can do is warn you about,
The danger up ahead.
If you don't avoid devastating harm,
The guilt will be on your head.

I've shown you how to save yourself,
And how to save your young.
From my vast store of knowledge,
The truth has now been wrung.

I see you careening toward your fate,
And there's nothing I can do.
If you will save you and yours,
It'll all be up to you.

When I tell you, it is not too late,
I speak the truth today.
You can turn around at any time,
You don't have to die that way.
