His Little Girl

Always come on time. Study your lessons well. Stop sleeping. Go home early. Stop those silly stuffs that you do with your friends. Accompany your mother to church. Don’t be lazy. Be good. But if she scolds you of not going, reason out. Don’t cry. You’re a baby no more. Better take opportunities seriously. If possible, be there one hour before any appointment. What happened to your grades? Avoid them. But no man’s an island and you know me. Have your monthly confession. Stop writing those letters that always promises. I don’t need those. But if anyway you failed again, accept it. Don’t cry. Try again. This is how you do the dishes. Don’t ever compare yourself with them. By 24, you should have your dream car. Be with her always. But she terribly misses you. Study very hard. You’ll benefit from them and not us. I know. Promise me this. Go to church every Sunday. You’re in-charge of the kitchen now. Don’t cry. Be strong. She is leaning on you. You’re not a child anymore. But you disobeyed our agreement, you left us. I must go now. You two can do it. But we need you. Trust Him. I trust you. It’s okay to cry. Anyway, you could still grow up and be my little girl.
