My dishes went unwashed today
I didn't make my bed
My baby spoke to me
Even though his words unsaid
His eyes were full of promise
His smile said come and play
I took his lead and followed
Oh yes we went adventuring
My little child and I
Exploring all the senses
We felt that we could fly
Tiny fingers enjoyed a nursery rhyme
His little toes danced a song
That my house was neglected
That I didn't brush the stairs
In twenty Years no one on earth
will even know or care
That I helped my little child
To noble adult grow
In twenty years the whole wide world
May look, see, and know
And here is my little boy paying
