| "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 today? I held my children while they slept, I held my children while they 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 hazel eyes and soft brown hair If that is true.... I've done my share. |
