What Did I Do Today?

What did I do today?
Today I left some dishes dirty
The bed got made around 3:30
The diapers soaked a little longer
The odor grew a little stronger
The crumbs I spilled the day before,
Are staring at me from the floor
The fingerprints there on the wall
Will likely be there still next fall
The dirty streaks on the windowpanes
Will still be there the next time it rains
Shame on you, you sit and say,
Just what did you do today?
I held a baby till she slept
I held a toddler while he wept
I played a game of hide and seek
I squeezed a toy so it would squeak
I pulled a wagon, sang a song
Taught a child right from wrong
What did I do this whole way through?
Not much that shows, I guess that's true
Unless you think that what I've done,
Might be important to someone
With deep blue eyes and soft dark hair,
If that is true... I've done my share.
