Taking Care

When you take your first two steps

I want to be there to guide

You along this challenging road

Like a swan taking care of its cygnet

Like a hawk taking care of its bowet

 

When you cry tears I’ll be there

To hold each tear in my hand

I want to be there all the time

Like a hare taking care of its leveret

Like an eagle taking care of its eaglet

 

Whenever you are hungry

I’ll be there to give you food

To satisfy all your hunger

Like a mare taking care of its filly

Like a dog taking care of its puppy

 

Whenever you are thirsty

I’ll be there to give water

To pacify your every thirst

Like a bird taking care of its nestling

Like a duck taking care of its duckling

 

When you need an umbrella

To protect you from the rain

I’ll always give it to you

During winter, summer, autumn or spring

Like a goose taking care of its gosling

 

Whenever you are in bed

So sick with your weary head

And you fail to just get up, yes

If you are sick your small chest I will rub

Like a lion taking care of its cub

 

Whenever you call my name

I will be there to listen

To every word you have to say

When in fear I will keep you just calm

Like a sheep taking care of its lamb

 

 

 

When the rain keeps you awake

At nights and you feel so cold

I’ll keep you warm with my body

Like a cat taking care of its kitten

Like a fowl taking care of its chicken

 

When your dreams turn to nightmares

And you scream my name for help

During the night I’ll watch over you

Like an owl taking care of its owlet

Like a hen taking care of its pullet

 

When your soft heart gets broken

I’ll be there to mend it back

And to always be on your side

Like an eel taking care of its elver

Like a cow taking care of its heifer

 

And when asthma attacks you

I want to give you fresh air

So we can grow old together

Like a whale taking care of its calf

I don’t want tears but to see you laugh

 

 

Have your say
