Slow Down

Slow down mummy, there is no need to rush

Slow down mummy, what is all the fuss?

Slow down mummy, make yourself a cup of tea.

Slow down mummy, come spend some time with me.

Slow down mummy, let's pull boots on for a walk,

Let's kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.

Slow down mummy, those dirty dishes can wait.

Slow down mummy, le'ts have some fun- bake a cake!

Slow down mummy, I know you work a lot,

but sometimes mummy, it's nice when you just stop.

Sit with us a minute

and listen to our day.

Spend a cherished moment,

because our childhood won't stay!

-R. Night
