      A DAY'S WORK

      Today I left some dishes dirty
      The beds were made around 2.30 
      The nappies soaked a little longer;
      their odour grew a little stronger 
      The crumbs I spilt the day before 
      are staring at me from the floor. 
      The dirty streaks on the window panes 
      will still be there next time it rains. 
      "Oh shame! Oh lazy one" you say 
      "And just what did you do today?" 
      I nursed a baby while she slept, 
      and held a toddler while he wept. 
      I played a game of hide and seek 
      I squeezed a toy and made it squeak 
      I pushed a swing, I sang a song, 
      I taught a child what’s right from wrong.
      What did I do this whole day through ? 
      Not much that shows, I guess it’s true.... 
      Unless you think what I have done 
      May be important to someone 
      with bright brown eyes and soft dark hair.
      If that is true I’ve done my share....
