In Kama's different prayer thread, Dream said she keeps little poems and prayers taped to the inside of her cabinet doors. I just wanted to share one I printed while pregnant with my son. It's still on my fridge and reminds me everyday of how fast time is going by. My DS is 8 now and I really do my best to say yes whenever he asks me to do something with him. I'm sure a lot of you have already seen this, but if you haven't....enjoy!
TO MY GROWN UP SON:
My hands were busy through the day
I didn't have much time to play
The little games you asked me to
I didn't have much time for you.
I'd wash your clothes, I'd sew and cook,
But when you'd bring your picture book
And ask me please to share your fun,
I'd say: "A little later, son."
I'd tuck you in all safe at night
And hear your prayers, turn out the light,
Then tiptoe softly to the door . . .
I wish I'd stayed a minute more.
For life is short, the years rush past . . .
A little boy grows up so fast.
No longer is he at your side,
His precious secrets to confide.
The picture books are put away,
There are no longer games to play,
No good-night kiss, no prayers to hear . . .
That all belongs to yesteryear.
My hands, once busy, now are still.
The days are long and hard to fill.
I wish I could go back and do
The little things you asked me to.
