Can we help in the kitchen?
Can we watch you cook?
I’d rather do this myself
then I stop and look
at the innocent faces
so eager to learn
selfish, no more,
it’s now their turn
Clothes will get dirty
dust will appear
chores never ending
that much is clear
So I say to them,
I’ll play and read books
I’ll teach you to be
great little cooks
For as you grow
and think of your Mother
Just know my love for you
is like no other

I wrote this years ago when my children were little
and spending time with them was far more important
than getting things done around the house. ♥

I hope you’re leaving here with a smile and 
I appreciate your visit. Have a wonderful weekend!
