Slow down mummy-R.Knight

Slow down mummy, there is no need to rush,
slow down mummy, what is all the fuss?
Slow down mummy, make yourself a cup tea.
Slow down mummy, come and spend some time with me.

Slow down mummy, let's put our boots on and go out for a walk,
let's kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.
Slow down mummy, you look ever so tired,
come sit and snuggle under the duvet and rest with me a while.

Slow down mummy, those dirty dishes can wait,
slow down mummy, let's have some fun, let's bake a cake!
Slow down mummy I know you work a lot,
but sometimes mummy, its nice when you just stop.

Sit with us a minute,
& listen to our day,
spend a cherished moment,
because our childhood is not here to stay!

To those of you who read how encouraged I was yesterday, I woke to find that my 'little old poem' has spread all over the Internet, currently at 112 thousand likes and rising! I also found that my poem is being shared all over the world via Pinterest and blogs and sites where people are sharing it. Yesterday I was thinking that my 'voice' did not count for much, today I see that actually God can use your small offerings and passions and multiply them greatly! Just like the boy that offered his 2 fish and loaves of bread.... Be encouraged to carry on doing what you love, it is having an effect on someone, somewhere...even if you are not aware if it ;) thankyou all do much for liking this page. Be the best of you and dream big!! ♥

Encouraged..

I was having a down day-Ever get those? Wondering what my 'voice' counts for? Does anything I do have an effect or make a difference? I was asking God what is it that I am passionate about and enjoy doing? Seeking purpose and passion....He 

answered in an unexpected way. A little poem I wrote last year, submitted to a book, has been shared over facebook..My friends were asking me if it was my poem that people were enjoying and sharing. I was amazed at the likes and comments. reading through the comments, my heart was blessed that my little words have touched parents and inspired them to cherish each moment with their children. God...Thank-you, I have been encouraged. ♥
