For those of us that find it hard to get to the sewing room...a suggestion. ;)
Dust if you must
but wouldn't it be better
to paint a picture, or write a letter,
bake a cake, or plant a seed;
ponder the difference between want and need.
Dust if you must
but there is not much time,
with rivers to swim and mountains to climb!
Music to hear, and books to read,
friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must
but the world's out there
with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
a flutter of snow, a shower of rain;
this day will not come round again.
Dust if you must
but bear in mind,
old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go,
and go you must...
You, yourself, will make more dust.
(Remember, a house becomes a home
when you can write "I love you" on the furniture! ;)
