Happy Mother's Day!

What Did I Do Today?

Today I left some dishes dirty;
I got the bed made around 3:30.
The diapers soaked a little longer,
The odor grew a little stronger.
The crumbs I spilled the day before,
Are staring at me from the floor.
The fingerprints there on the wall,
Will likely be there still next fall.
The dirty streaks on those windowpanes,
Will still be there next time it rains.
Shame on you, you sit and say,
Just what did you do today?

I held a baby til she slept,
I held a toddler why she wept.
I played a game of hide and seek,
I squeezed a toy so it would squeak.
I pulled a wagon, sang a song,
Taught a child right from wrong.
What did I do this whole day through?
Not much that shows, I guess that's true.
Unless you think of what I have done,
Might be important to someone.
With bright blue eyes and soft blonde hair,
If that is true...I've done my share.
