I want to be there
when the sun shines brightly every morning
when you slowly open your sparkly eyes
when you yawn and gather your pillows in your arms
when you reach out and ask for dear mom and dad
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you want company to play in the park
when you feel like gathering the flowers in bloom
when you feel like feeding the fish in the tank
when you just want to sit and watch the planes fly by
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you want your breakfast, cereal or bread
when you take your vitamins in many fruit flavors
when you get ready for the morning shower
when you don’t even want to stop playing
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you brush your little teeth, morning and night
when you play with the flowing water in the shower
when you hesitate to get out too soon from the bathroom
when you want your favorite clothes, day-in, day-out
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you want to play your Barbie DVD all day long
when you scatter your toys, books and DVDs all over
when you jump in bed or hide under the bed cover
when you sing along Snow White or Barbie character
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you eat your lunch in the bedroom or high chair
when you select the food you eat and say “No” to the rest
when you munch for morsels and spit them out in my palm
when you drink your water or ask for Coke when you see it
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you’re eyes get droppy and misty in the afternoons
when you struggle to be awake and avoid the needed naps
when you roll from side to side and find your comfort
when you finally doze off to a wondrous dreamy slumber
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you wake up from sleep and come marching for snacks
when you choose for a chocolate drink, a Yakult or yogurt
when you ask for your milk, and want it freshly made
when you want to play even more with darkness forthcoming
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you eat dinner, delicious fried chicken or fish extra crisp
when you want your rice, hot and steamy or flavored best
when you love and savor mom’s scrumptious pumpkin soup
when you wish you always have chocolate or ice cream or cake
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you insist to pull me along and lead to our bedroom
when you ask for your pacifier and soft pillows to boot
when you watch time and again the lovely Barbie films
when you wait for dear sleep to come with a bottle of milk
I just want to be there, always.
I want to be there
when you grow up and be the best daughter you can be
when you love and take care of your brother, I know you do
when you make your mom and dad proud, today and always
when you reach your dreams and live a happy life ahead
I would live the happiest to be there.
