slow down mommy, what is all the fuss?
slow down mommy, make yourself a cup tea.
Slow down mommy, come and spend some time with me.
slow down mommy, lets put our boots on and go out for a walk,
lets kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.
slow down mommy, you look ever so tired,
come sit and snuggle under the duvet and rest with me a while.
slow down mommy, those dirt dishes can wait,
slow down mommy, lets have some fun, lets bake a cake!
slow down mommy I know you work a lot,
but sometimes mommy, its nice when you just stop.
sit with us a minute,
& listen to our day,
spend a cherished moment,
because our childhood is not here to stay!

Guilty. This is something I fight with myself constantly and time is running out. I look at these boys and melt. Time is going by too quickly.
