It is the Day of the Girl Child
So we celebrate the girl today
Yet the girl is that special a child
Whom we should celebrate everyday
That’s how I celebrate mine
I celebrate them everyday
One, two, three I sired over time
Utibe, Eme and Ama I celebrate each day
They call me Dad and I love them much
They bring me laughter, joy and anxiety
Being their father is privilege so much
Bestowed on me by Father Almighty
Therefore the debt I owe God and them
Is give the girls the care they need
To sacrifice as much I can for them
And protect my daughters, nay all girls indeed
