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
