My dishes went unwashed today,I didn't make the bed,
I took his hand and followed where his eager footsteps led.
Oh yes, we went adventuring,My little son and I...
Exploring all the great outdoors beneath the summer sky
We waded in a crystal stream, we wandered through a wood...
My kitchen wasn't swept today, but life was really good.
We found a cool, sun-dappled glade and now my small son knows
How Mother Bunny hides her nest and where jack-in-the-pulpit grows.
We watched a robin feed her young, we climbed a sunlit hill...
Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky,We plucked a daffodil.
That my house was neglected, that I didn't brush the stairs,
In twenty years, no one on earthWill know, or even care.
But that I've helped my little boy to noble manhood grow,
In twenty years, the whole wide world may look and see and know.
