I found this lovely poem somewhere. I am sorry I dont know who wrote it.
To My Children
When I spill some food on my nice clean dress
Or maybe forget to tie my shoe,
Please be patient and perhaps reminisce
About the many hours I spent with you.
When I taught you how to eat with care,
Put on your shoe and tie your lace,
If you think of these when my age you bare,
You may not notice my messy face.
If I tell the story one more time,
And you know the ending through and through,
Please remember your first nursery rhyme
When I rehearsed it a hundred times with you.
When legs are tired and it's hard to stand
Or walk the steady pace I would like to do,
Please take me carefully by my hand,
And guide me now as I did for you
