Javon Johnson - A Letter to My Unborn Daughter

[@kellymoran7644]

This and "to the boys who may one day date my daughter" are 2 of the best poems from parents.

[@jessc542]

Kelly Moran agreed

[@jordansomething4327]

Yesss

[@alwaysdreaming1271]

Accurate

[@amazeofwords.]

I literally saw them back to back.!

[@darky2738]

Yessssss

[@Lilbitpurp]

"You both should know that your dad spent a few days in jail so I'm comfortable with all kinds of weird shit!" My fav

[@ishabahx]

I now find myself jealous of someone who is not even born yet

[@mellyb8201]

OMG SAME 😂

[@leilanidababe8146]

same oh my fucking god whoever his daughter is CONGRATUFUCKINGLATIONS KID BEST FUCKING DAD EVER

[@dedgesaysfuckthewrld]

Saaaame!

[@megthefangirl5298]

SAME XD

[@kendraklopfenstein5350]

ishabahx life isn't as amazing as a letter to a future because life is insane

[@tanayatalks1715]

Can you like...is it possible to adopt a parent?

[@WAGgymSuperFan]

Jasmine Eke No you don't. It sucks.

[@NP-lj2mu]

Yup. In the L & G communities you can find characters called Daddy's. We do not dominate the "daughter" sexually in fact, if sexual feelings develop we end the relationship (cause they are grown now and we are not pedorape fetishists). We dominate girls, but in a protective and/or mentoring way not a sexual one.

[@esme9763]

"we will wear inside jokes so big on our faces that you could live forever on them" so gorgeous

[@saraskm5043]

Loved that he said "Person" instead of boy .!

[@jessicavazquez4006]

I know!! I noticed that, too!

[@clotildevivier8650]

yeah me too :D

[@jordansomething4327]

I read it and he said

[@morganwilliams4689]

Same I love that

[@jordan13_life85]

Sara SkM Ik I love how open minded he is not to just assume that his future daughter will be straight.

[@venusinconverse1763]

"Your friends will say, "Um, your dad's a bit psycho. And you will say, "Yeah he is, but it's the best way to be loved."

[@thatrandomchick5179]

Who ever his future daughter is they are so lucky

[@haileyturner8219]

ThatRandomChick Yes!!!

[@inezarita4270]

ThatRandomChick i knows right

[@geminifoxpoetry]

Can't wait to hear your first poem about your daughter.

[@stephanieyoung9227]

I agree!!!

[@haileyturner8219]

GeminiFox Jackson IKR

[@YourFace676]

Damn... I loved it from the beginning, but was a little unsure about the telling her not to wear short shorts and sleep with a lot of people. But he completely turned it around into something beautiful. Absolutely love this one, will be listening again

[@darkhorse7990]

patronsaint YES! Love the turn it took!

[@imjustezzy2076]

I felt the same exact way! But he made it so beautiful.

[@akshithau4614]

I was so ready to tell him that he doesn't own his daughter's body half way through and then he said all the right things and I was like oops, forgive me, good sir, would you like another daughter?

[@alwaysdreaming1271]

Ways to tell someone not to judge, subtly. He probably did this on purpose

[@alliblackman5020]

I know I'm 27 and it's too late to be adopted, but if you don't ask you don't get!

[@mylupylu]

Allison B yes, this is a father you wish to have :)

[@halineyokomangute8030]

adopt me too hahaha i have no father!

[@kaolee4736]

Wow. He's gonna be a great dad. No shit there.

[@KeventeLewis]

I loved that he took it the total opposite direction I though the poem was gonna go into. The soft, mushy, everything will be perfect poem about having a girl and took it into a more reality based place.

[@JamieRose25]

I both cried and laughed at this poem, really good job!

[@haileyturner8219]

Jamie Rose Yes, ikr 😂🤣

[@dayellewaugh]

This poem did two things for me: 1) Made me fall even more wildly in love with Javon Johnson 2) Made me miss my own dad

[@thetongueofangels1882]

Dayelle Waugh yea.. and pray for the child.

[@ytjiyt]

loved the gender neutrality of him saying "person" instead of boy, it was obviously on purpose and is one of the things that show how much thought was actually put into his poem

[@EricCKeys]

J Robinson great observation

[@OldFriendAuden]

@@EricCKeys yeah actually. how utterly fascinating and accurate. well done

[@yellow5350]

The power of the tongue is phenomenal.

I was just about to open a can of nuh huh on this guy and then it all turned uh huh really joyful and strong. You're gonna be a hella poppa, bro.

[@manateexing]

lol same

[@lilyvaughn6766]

"Daddy's ganna go around sleeping with all the guys... uh hold on" I loved this poem! Reminds me of my father some. RIP Dad.

[@wanpoetry]

Javon Johnson! You need to do a national tour called Truuuuuth!!!

[@kaylak.6323]

He should, I second this!

[@hyperactivegenie]

I want this to happen!

[@kreteOriginal]

PREEECCH

[@taniceisntokbutthatsok8770]

i can tell he'll be a great dad

[@tra.allison]

And now he’s married and expecting his first child- a daughter. Congratulations to him and his growing family, he’ll be an extraordinary father.

[@sofia7316]

omg im in tears. this was so beautiful and he would make an amazing father. i love how he mentioned slut shaming and that he wants her to be able to own her own body. i love how he said "person" instead of assuming his daughter would be with a male. i love that he said he would wear short shorts if she wore them, that he would take her wherever she wanted to go, that they would "wear inside jokes so big on our faces that you could live forever on them." this was truly amazing. i wish my father was like him.

[@thetongueofangels1882]

scalene triangle but you have one, cherish him.

[@alwaysdreaming1271]

Same

[@alwaysdreaming1271]

@@thetongueofangels1882 sometimes its hard to cherish people as much as you love them or want to love them.

[@darianmacdonald4536]

I've been binge watching poetry for the last 20 mins and this is the first one that made me tear up

[@michellemartinez6375]

I've been going strong for 4 hours

[@kaylak.6323]

Whewwww, at first I caught myself thinking... this might be his most boring one yet... and then BAM, he switched it up and brought it home. Goosebumps and all. Thank you for that last part. I wish I had heard a man say something that genuine to me as a young woman!

Every time I click on one of Javon's pieces, I just KNOW I'm gonna cry.

[@dareusdesign]

Javon is honestly my favorite poet on this channel.

[@varsharath6644]

HIS VOICE IS SO POWERFUL.

[@Hazelnutlc]

His daughter is going to be so lucky!!!!! Ugh I'm so jealous!!! Man I wish I had that in my life.

[@asheepash27]

I sent this to my dad, and he loved it!

[@issiemarie9348]

Clicked on this video trying to safe my phone from falling...definitely not disappointed. This was beautiful.

[@the.girl.speaks.2128]

He should do stand up. Giving jokes and getting laughter all while dropping knowledge.

[@kittysoftpaws3-11]

I'm crying? He's an amazing parent? Wtf why wasn't I so blessed?

[@natalieseitz2344]

oh my god this made me so happy.

[@cierad.249]

This is legit the sweetest poem ever..I wish my Dad showed me he loved me like this. Whoever his daughter is she's gonna be super lucky to have him. 💞

[@polarbearzonthemoon]

Wow... I think more dads need to think like this man is thinking

[@taliachapman513]

This poem always brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me of all the good times and also the bad. It makes me want this relationship with my daughter one day. It makes me wish that I could be the daughter thats name is on that envelop.

[@oliviamareetarantola9779]

Oh wow I'm crying so much. I flashed back to my childhood and my dad..

[@eeinthedark]

Thumbs up for Javon..truly an amazing poet !

[@gina333]

This makes me feel two things. 1- sad that I don’t have a dad like this. 2- happy that someone else will 💛

[@Scixxy]

That took a welcome turn.

[@zeinababdisalad2287]

Javon Johnson, my absolute hero!!!

[@savsav341]

I cried not only because it was beautiful bc I wish my dad was like this..💔

[@michellemckillican195]

I hope one day my babies daddy will be that passionate about our children!!

[@bettyemachetetmi5005]

My dad will be gone 3 years tomorrow God I miss him. This was beautifully sweet and I feel like I'm hearing from my own dad cuz this is a lot of his humor.. Ha...

[@mentibelle]

"your dad's a bit psycho" "yeah.. he is.. but it's the best way to be loved."

[@koatghost6481]

I love the way he says “baby girl!” like I can’t explain it.

[@Killerkate77]

Seriously this was so wonderful. God I was so worried but then all that worry washed away. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful

[@becca4104]

a dad like this please

[@WanderingWaystrel]

This is quite possible the best sentiment I have ever heard a father have about his daughter

[@LILMISSKC84]

So powerful. If only every woman were to have this man as a father.

[@sprattikus]

When a poem makes me cry, not tear up, but flat out full out cry, it's some good shit. Props.

[@iamolivinegabbro8575]

I laughed, cried, laughed and then smiled. Ending with a deep breath of relief and for a moment I believed he was talking to me. wonderful.

[@meetmeinthehallwayoopies2081]

this is now my fav poem

[@Keeper92885]

Reminds me of the daddy I lost too soon. Powerful words from a powerful heart all for who is obviously going to be a powerful young woman one day.

[@YasiaAliyah]

This was absolutely amazing

[@orionhower605]

This is honestly so much talent, humour and realistic things about societal norms, performed amzingly

[@ryanhuntzicker373]

I've listened to this since the moment my child was born, and now anytime I hear it all I can think about is my child growing up. I'm very grateful for this.

[@ButtonPoetry]

Wow. Thank you so much for posting Ryan. What a huge compliment.

[@alisakaitlin]

Sure wish my dad was anything like this man.

[@sambibler]

this has remained my favorite poem ever to date.

[@yellow5350]

I think I'm in love, his poetry took the air out of my lungs, eyes glued to the screen, almost forgot to breathe, the ending was perfection.

[@dnallivah]

I love Javon Johnson so much. What an amazing, beautiful poem.

[@shirleyabbottpoetry6181]

every girl needs to listen to this... especially that last part
