Time-share

 

Mommy, will you read me a story?

In a moment, dear little son

I have some things I must finish first

But I’ll come when the work’s all done

Mommy, can I try to help you

So we can have some fun?

Son, run and play with your sister

Then I’ll come when the work’s all done

Mommy, can you throw this ball to me?

Not right now, precious son

Mother is in a hurry

To get her work all done

…she sits in a chair by the window

Waiting for her darling son

He says he is going to call her

Soon, when his work’s all done

No matter what stage of life we are in, we should only have time to love.

Make this day a memory you will be glad of.
