What did I do today?

I found this poem today and knew I had to share it with you! This for all of us who work tirelessly for our children and our families, sometimes with little to show at the end of the day. A big hug especially to all those cloth diapering mommas!!

What Did I Do Today?

                                                                

Today I left some dishes dirty

The bed got 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 all day?

I held a baby till he 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 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 that what I’ve done

Might be important to someone

With deep blue eyes and soft blonde hair

If that’s true, I’ve done my share.
