Souvenirs + time

by the dozen it seems...

little children they run
by the dozen around my skirt's hem

i carry on all day long

little children they run
by the dozen it seems around my skirt's hem

it's true
so true

have you heard the sound of six children playing in the prairie
have they danced within the garden in your sight
have they shown you their pockets filled with rocks and treasures
have you smelled the flowers she picks for you daily
have you seen the fridge filled with drawings and fingerprints on the handle

oh yes you can
you can see

little children they run
by the dozen around my skirt's hem

i carry on all day long

wiping chins and kissing hurts
talking of world affairs with the oldest while nursing my youngest

it's all that i am made of

there are times when I see the men in my life and how strong the connection isfrom my skirt's hem to my wedding ring

and how I need to let go of my skirt's hem

Garden, life, and more:

by the dozen it seems... + time
