A father and a daughter
What’s a father?
A father is a guardian
What’s a daughter?
A daughter is an admirer
What’s a father without a daughter?
Not a father
What’s a daughter without a father?
A girl
A woman
A lover
An artist
A friend
.
But what’s a father without a daughter?
Nothing
.
You see?
You without me are nothing
What I am without you?
I’m everything
And more
.
A mother and a daughter
What’s a mother?
A mother is a guardian
A lover
A friend
What, am I, the daughter?
A daughter is an admirer
.
What’s a mother without a daughter?
A mother would be forever a mother
A lover
And a friend
.
But what am I without a mother?
I’m nothing but blood and flesh
