This poem is not good for a card, but as a mother myself I love to read it every now and then to remember what is really important at the end of the day
Today I left some dishes dirty
The bed got made around two-thirty
The crumbs I spilled the day before
Were staring at me from the floor
The fingerprints there on the wall
I guess will still be there next fall.
"For shame, oh lazy one," you say
"And just what did you do today?"
I rocked a baby 'til she slept
I held a toddler while he wept
I played a game of hide and seek
I squeezed a toy so it would squeak
I pulled a sled, I sang a song
I taught a child what's right from wrong.
What did I do this whole day through?
Not much shows, I guess it's true
Unless you think what I have done
Might be important to someone
With bright blue eyes and soft blond hair
If that is true, I've done my share.
