There's Always Time to Dust

I look around this morning over my coffee cup

Everywhere I look stuff is piling up

Stacks of mail, socks, shoes and more

Seem to clutter every space... the table, counter and floor

I try to get the ambition to tackle this big mess

But I have a game to go to...it's just gonna have to wait I guess.

My last child has less than a year, then to college she will go

My time will be harder to fill...as all you mothers know

I choose to spend my time with family, not a broom

When you come to visit, look at me, not my room

I will do my best to keep things neat and tidy

But if a game, activity or family time is happening, that's where you will find me.

I want to be a mother, wife and a  friend

There will always be a mess to clean up clear til the end.

Go ahead, clean your house if you must

Just remember your children grow up fast and there's always time to dust.
