I note with joy my daughter is careless,
And bosses her boyfriend around;
He is handsome, but she is not impressed;
And so this paradise I found—
Knowing my daughter will be happy
And never suffer a broken heart.
None in love was happier than I.
Failing, I pushed into new poetry.
If you cannot love, give the part
Able to love to someone new—
Wisdom will impregnate her bones
And she will be happier than you.
