This is a poem I came across some time back when my children were young. It's something I keep reminding myself of when things get busy.

I hope other parents find it as endearing as me and it serves to remind what’s important in life.

Priorities

I hope my children look back on today

And see a parent who had time to play

Children grow up while you’re not looking

There’ll be years ahead of cleaning and cooking

So quiet now, cobwebs, dust go to sleep

I’m playing with my children

And children don’t keep.

 

Regards,
