TO MY CHILD
A BEAUTIFUL POEM
TO MY CHILD
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 SAFE AT NIGHT,
AND HEAR YOUR PRAYERS TURN OFF THE LIGHT
THEN TIP – TOE SOFTLY TO THE DOOR
I WISH I'D STAYED A MINUTE MORE.
FOR LIFE IS SHORT AND YEARS RUSH PAST
A LITTLE BOY GROWS UP FAST
NO LONGER IS HE AT YOUR SIDE
HIS PRECIOUS SECRETS TO CONFIDE.
THE PICTURE BOOKS ARE PUT AWAY
THERE ARE NO CHILDREN'S GAMES TO PLAY
NO GOODNIGHT KISS,NO PRAYERS TO HEAR
THAT ALL BELONGS TO YESTERYEAR.
MY HANDS ONCE BUSY,NOW LIE STILL
THE DAYS ARE LONG AND HARD TO FILL
I WISH I COULD GO BACK AND DO
THE LITTLE THINGS YOU ASKED ME TO.
