Today I left some dishes dirty
The bed got made about two-thirty.
The nappies soaked a little longer
Their odours grew a little stronger
The crumbs I spilled the day before
Were staring at me on the floor
The dirt streaks on the window panes
Will still be there next time it rains
For shame o lazy one you say
And Just what did you do today
I nursed a baby while he slept
I held a toddler while he wept
I played a game of hide and seek
I squeezed a toy so it would squeak
I pushed a swing I sang a song
I taught a child what’s right and wrong.
What did I do this day through
Not much that shows I guess it’s true
Unless you think that what I’ve done
Might be important to someone
With brightest eyes and softest hair
If that is true I’ve done my share.
