My dishes went unwashed today,
I didn't make the bed,
I took his hand and followed
Where his little footsteps led.
Oh, yes, we went adventuring
My little child and I.
Exploring all the great outdoors
Beneath the sun and sky
We watch a robin feed her young.
We climbed a sunlit hill.
Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky.
We plucked a daffodil.
That my house was so neglected,
That I didn't sweep the stairs,
In twenty years no one on earth will know...or even care.
But that I've helped a little child
into noble adult grow,
In twenty years the whole wide world
Will look...and see...and know.
