Every time I got frustrated or felt like my house was falling apart, I remembered the poem and held him. I am so glad I did.<br /><br /><br />Thank you for sharing this with me again! <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811129333489454237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168679616695961668.post-71329887730141881482013-06-19T21:40:53.960-07:002013-06-19T21:40:53.960-07:00Amen!!! <3 Reminds me of this:
"Mother, O...Amen!!! <3 Reminds me of this: <br />"Mother, O' Mother, come shake out your cloth,<br />Empty the dustpan, poison the moth.<br />Hang out the washing, make up the bed,<br />Sew on a button and butter the bread.<br /><br />Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?<br />She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.<br />Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,<br />Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo.<br />Dishes are waiting and bills are past due,<br />Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek - peekaboo.<br />The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew,<br />And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo.<br />But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.<br />Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?<br />Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo.<br /><br />The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,<br />But children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.<br />So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!<br />I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.<br />~ Ruth Hulbert Hamilton"<br /><br />You BOTH put it beautifully...Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05488206549011289068noreply@blogger.com
