Would you take me in from the thunderstorms? Would you cover my head when the rain drops fell? Would you grab my hand when I fell down to my knees? Would you be there to lift me up when I first learned to ride a bike? Will you be there in the front row cheering me on and as I have my first concert? When I graduate from college will I open your card that says thank you for being my friend and I always have your back? When I tell you that I want to travel around the world will you help me plan where I will make stops at? When I tell you I've had a long day will you pick up a kid friendly book and start reading it to me? When I've had too much to bear and I can no longer bear more on my soul Will you help me relieve some of it off? When the days get long and the nights are lonely can I call you in the middle of the night if I can't sleep? When I need to step out of reality, can you help me get there? When I come to your door with tears in my eyes will you hand me a Kleenex? And tell me come the hell on in and have a seat? When I don't know what to cook for dinner will you offer me suggestions? When I'm nervous and scared about trying something new will you assure me it will be safe? When I have to do something in life that I don't want to do, will you be there to go over with me after I get it done? When I'm zipping at my evening dress and the zipper is just too hard to do from the front can you take that for me and zip it up to the top, and make sure that I look presentable?
I thought these were easy questions, I thought this was a given, what I have learned is you have to spell every single word to every single person that you come in contact with. You must be guarded. You can't be yourself because advantages will be taken of you. That's why I have a problem with people I think. Everyone assumes they've heard it before, know how to do it, or just don't pay attention. The words are right there in the sentences all you have to do is read it, maybe reread it.
