Come on in!

Here's a quote I got from a friends blog. I love it, I thought I'd share.

It is sooooo true. Thanks Tia, I was looking for something to explain me today!

COME IN Come in.
But don't expect to find
all the dishes done;
all floors ashine.
Observe the crumpled rug, the toys galore,
the smudgy fingerprinted door.
The little ones we shelter here
don't thrive on spotless atmosphere.
They're more inclined to disarrayand carefree,
even messy play.
Their needs are great, their patience small.
All day I'm at their beck and call.
It's "Mommie come" "Mommie see!"
Wiggly worms and red-scraped knee.
Painted pictures, blocks piled high,
my floors unshined, the days go by.
Some future day they'll flee this nest,
and I, at last, will have a rest.
And which really matters more?
A happy child or a polished floor?
