Monday's Child #42 ~ Picture Prompt
~
Cooking and dressing and
Shopping and
Smiling
Mother Duck must do what
Mother Duck must do
Cleaning and sewing and
Ironing and
Smiling
Mother Duck must do what
Mother Duck must do
Walking you to swimming school and
Walking you home
Caring for your aches and pains and
Seeing you don't roam
Picnic fun
In the sun
Playing tag together
Flying with the dancing winds
Enjoying any weather
But sometimes in the tiny hours
When you are fast asleep
And I have time to sit and dream
While moonlight shadows creep
I hang a wish upon a star
That I will always keep
Your gentle love
Your sweetest smiles
And never let you weep
