Just because you Kissed me Goodnight

Just because you kissed me goodnight 

I was fluttered beyond words 

Left the stair ajar and hurried up the gates 

Forgot to kiss gown and slept with my papa on 

First time, I missed my night prayer. 

Wake up early morning, fully refreshed 

Leisurely took breakfast and kissed papa goodnight 

Busy attending to clients, seeking their counsels 

Come home late, for I missed a turn. 

That’s a week ago, now I’m back to normal 

Left papa at the bay with his rod 

Finished work on the dot and was home early 

Oh! I forgot to pick up papa at the bay 

Just because you kissed me goodnight.
