Beautiful Chaos
“Don’t put my book down the toilet”
“I won’t Daddy”
FLUSH
“Your cereal bowl is not a drum, or a steering wheel”
“Please don’t hit your sister with your Bob the Builder Hammer”
THWACK
And so the day begins
We grapple and fight
Against the oncoming day
Why
Do we stress and toil
Instead of letting children play
Be yourself
Little ones
Little not for long
Lovely tiny faces
And imaginative brains
Just ignore adult chores
Go out and play
Sunshine
Dragons
Lego
And beautiful chaos
I promise to down tools
And join you for a day
“Stop it, stop it”
“No the cat is not a cushion”
MIAOWAAWWWW
It’s a perfect day

This reminds me of a poem I embroidered on wall hanging 30+ years ago. It went something like this: (Author Unknown)
Dusting and cleaning can wait ’til tomorrow
For babies grow up too soon to our sorrow
So go away cobwebs, Dust go to sleep
I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep. 🙂
