    Saw this in baby and cried (bl**dy hormones lol) but thought id share

    I hope that my child, looking back on today
    Remembers a mother who had time to play
    A child will grow up when you're not looking
    There's years ahead for the cleaning and cooking,
    So quiet down cobwebs: dust go to sleep
    I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep.


    and

    Mother, oh Mother,
    come shake out your cloth,
    empty the dustpan,
    poison the moth,
    hang out the washing
    and butter the bread,
    sew on a button and make up a bed.
    Where is the mother whose house
    is so shocking?
    She's up in the nursery,
    blissfully rocking.
    Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little
    Boy Blue (lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
    Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
    (pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).
    The shopping's not done
    and there's nothing for stew
    and out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
    but I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
    Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?
    (lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
    The cleaning and scrubbing
    will wait till tomorrow,
    for Children grow up,
    as I've learned to my sorrow.
    So quiet down, cobwebs.
    Dust go to sleep.
    I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep......

    Im gonna put the first one on my hall wall

    Now I'm crying db, damn hormones (I havent even got that excuse at the moment :lol: )

    Anyway here is another to make you cry, I read this at Isaacs naming day and was sobbing as I read it,

    It's 3am and they're asleep
    And no-ones here to see
    As we rock slowly back and forth
    My baby boy and me

    His little head is feather light
    Tucked underneath my chin
    I hold his tiny little hand
    And stoke his baby chin

    The house about us creaks and moans
    The clock hands creep around
    He snuggles closer to me still
    And makes his baby sounds

    I love these quiet hours so much
    And cherish everyone
    Store memories up inside my heart
    For lonely nights to come

    All too soon he'll be grown up
    His need for Mummy gone
    But untill then I have the time
    For kisses and a song

    Time for quiet hours like this
    With him snuggled in my arms
    Where I wish that he would always stay
    Protected safe from harm

    And yet I know the day will come
    Where his tiny little hand
    Will be much bigger than my own
    He'll grow to be a man

    But until then he's mine to love
    With no-one here to see
    As we rock slowly back and forth
    My baby boy and me

    Now I'm sobbing again, it the bit where is says he'll grow to be a man, gets me every time xx

    ohhhhhhhhhhh...thats lovely...

    the first one is laminated and on my fridge from when I had DS1 who is nearly 16. My mum did it for me as I was a bit obsessive with the housework !

    It gets me everytime.
