Nayd bought a cookbook today (4 ingredients) and in the back it had a lovely poem so am in the mood to repeat it here (And embellish it :D As an aside, the recipe book is REALLY good! It has such simple recipes (Including the family French Onion Dip recipe) and only needing 4 ingredients is a seller for me :P
A Recipe for All Mothers
Today I left some dishes dirty, The bed I made at 3:30 The nappies soaked a little longer, The odour grew a little stronger. The crumbs I spilt the day before Are staring at me from the floor. The fingerprints, there on the wall, Will likely be there next fall. The dirty steaks on the window panes Will still be there, next time it rains. "Shame on you old lazy-bones" You say "And just what have you done today?!" I nursed a baby till she slept, I held my Hamish while he wept, I played a game of hide and seek, I squeezed a toy to make it squeak, I pulled a wagon, I sang a song, Taught a child right from wrong. What did I do, this whole day through? Not much that shows, I guess it's true.... Unless you think that what I've done Might be important to someone with big green eyes and light brown hair If that is true, I've done my share!
