This was a suggested post on my Instagram this morning - click on the photo to view. It speaks to the importance of prioritizing time with our children, cherishing all their small moments and not getting bogged down by our "to do" lists. Below are the words. Happy first day of school! Just Wait a Minute - Jess Ulrichs
He asks me to watch how fast he can run How high he can jump Did you see that mom? Just a minute, I say, I'm almost done. He asks me to listen as he hums a tune Just a second, I say, I'll be there soon. He asks me to look at a picture he drew I say I will soon but I have things to do. For his world is in color, a work of art An invite he offers into his heart But it's something unfinished, always something to start. I'll never be done There'll always be more The dust will still settle on some endless chore. And the running, the jumping, the mommy watch this Will I remember it only as something I missed? Too busy with crossing things off of my list? Let's sit for a while, let's take some time Pull me into your world, let me step out of mine. He soars around, his arms are wings And finally I learn that we need the same thing. In this season and all that it brings A boy and his mother, just seeing each other. Comments are closed.
