.Pd. is here - ''' Again

When I walk in through the door
With the day’s account needed to be told
Will you smile and patiently hear
The things on my mind and all my fears?

Just the way you heard me then
Will you do it again?

When you see me doing a wrong
That can become a pattern lifelong
Will you scold me and make me appreciate
The changes that I need to make?

Just the way you corrected me then
Will you do it again?

When I come home teary eyed
With a need to free the sorrow that’s inside
Will you hold me and let me cry
And grin and call me a ‘strong girl’ in reply?

Just the way you cheered me then
Will you do it again?

When I am having a sleepless night
With fearsome thoughts on my mind
Will you offer me a spot on your bed
Cause I love to sleep with you and dad?

Just the way you did it then
Will you do it again?

When I doubt my worth, like I always do
Will you say that I’m good and mock me saying, ‘scared and you? ’
While in response I chuckle and re-instill my potential
So that the mountainous task turns into a mole

Just the way you told me to keep faith then
Will you do it again?

While I don’t live with you anymore
But I still I long for the family shores
Will you promise you’ll always love
And cherish your little girl?

Just the way you treasured me then
Will you do it again?

When I’m older and you’re older still
I’ll be your strength and lend you a hand
But don’t thank me, thank your own will
For you’re the reason why I stand-

Just the way I used to then
The way it’ll be time and again
