What I Do, Just In Case
I awake in the morning, somewhere round four
Drink some coffee, shower, brush my teeth.
Dress for work and head for the door,
I kiss my sons forehead, turn to leave, kiss it again.
Just in Case!
I work hard during the day, Building houseboats,
Framing, nailing, paneling, roofs and floors,
Near completion, time to paint, I think two coats.
I call my son at lunch; tell him I love him, not once, but twice
Just in Case!
Get home in the afternoon, somewhere round three,
Have a cold drink, start dinner, relax a bit,
Talk with my son, ask what he did today, " Let me see"
I hug him once, then hug him twice more,
Just in Case!
When dinners done, and evening fades to night,
Dessert is gone, teeth are brushed and I tuck him in.
He asks me " Dad, will everything be alright?"
I kiss his forehead, hug him once, then twice, I tell him I love him
Tell him again and turn the night light on!
Just in Case!
What do you do? Just in Case!....................
