Vær tilstede – livet er lige nu

For et stykke tid siden postede jeg nedenstående digt af  Rebekah Knight inde på facebooksiden. Men jeg synes, at budskabet er så vigtigt, at jeg får lyst til at lægge det her på bloggen også.

Jeg tror, digtet går lige i hjertet på de fleste af os, der er mødre (eller fædre for den sags skyld). Lad os tage det helt ind, følge de kloge ord og være der for dem, der betyder allermest for os.

For, som der så smukt står i digtet: “childhood is not her to stay”. Livet er lige nu.

Slow down Mummy

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!
