I'll Do It All Again

I'll do it all again...
heal your wounds,
soothe your aches,
ease your pains.

I'll do it all again...
lend you my shoulder
when no one else would,
stand behind you
when you feel like you'd fall.

I'll do it all again...
I'd listen,
I'd smile,
give you comfort,
even laugh when you need me to.

Just to let you know that the world
is still
beautiful.

I'll do it all again...
even if it takes only a day
for others to unravel the bandages I've placed,
or to reopen the cuts I've so patiently closed.

I'll do it all again...
pray my wordless prayers
for your safety,
hope for the best
even when the best is nowhere to be seen,
replenish your spirit
when your tank is all empty,
hold your heart together
when it's broken or torn,
nourish your soul
when you're all parched and dry.

I will always have more than enough for the both of us.

All you have to do is come home.
Because if that is what I am to you,
then I'll do it all again.

And always one more time.
