Song for a Fifth Child...You are doing a great job!<br /><br />Song for a Fifth Child<br /><br />Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth<br />empty the dustpan, poison the moth,<br />hang out the washing and butter the bread,<br />sew on a button and make up a bed.<br />Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?<br />She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.<br /><br />Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue<br />(lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).<br />Dishes are waiting and bills are past due<br />(pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).<br />The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew<br />and out in the yard there's a hullabaloo<br />but I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.<br />Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?<br />(lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).<br /><br />The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,<br />for children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.<br />So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.<br />I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.<br /><br /><br />by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton<br /><br />My baby is 5 and my biggest nearly 19. I am grasping my 5 year olds little hand holding on to the moments. Before I know it he will be 19 and moving into the world with all of the rest. <br />I am going to work hard at slowing down. :o)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135456666823026419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426409494148281331.post-77900091725781689592010-10-02T23:25:23.332-06:002010-10-02T23:25:23.332-06:00Thanks so very much for your Sweet comments!!

When the kids all grow up and move on we will know we lived full days and nights and did all that we could.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135456666823026419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426409494148281331.post-63921447718714584512010-09-16T13:38:33.783-06:002010-09-16T13:38:33.783-06:00Very pretty school girls ;) I love Scottie & ...Very pretty school girls ;) I love Scottie & Sophie's matching skirts.
