Time like now when I'm alone
I think of passing time
The everlasting afternoon
From when I was a child
The endless summers drifting past
The days rolled out like dough
The time to play and sleep and be
That every child should know
And time like now when I'm alone
I look back through our day
And I can see that sometimes we
Can use our time that way
This morning there was building
And tickling on the floor
And opening the parcels
The post brought to the door
This morning there was dancing
And someone sang a song
And breakfast and a comic book
And hanging laundry wrong
This morning there was washing clothes
And washing dishes clean
And making messes, wearing dresses
Drawings of in-between
This morning there was sunshine
And wiggling toes in grass
This morning reached this afternoon
And took sun-hours to pass.

You're very clever - I'm useless at poetry. I loved this and it really fitted the sunny day we've had today.
'days rolled out like dough' - perfect. I loved this!
oh, how incredibly evocative of a sunny day at home with a small. I felt like I was there with you.
