A Careful Woman I Ought To Be

~Author Unknown

A careful woman I ought to be

A little girl follows me.

I do not dare go astray,

For fear she'll go the same way.

Not once can I escape her eyes

Whate'er she sees me do she tries.

Like me, she sees what she's going to be

That little girl who follows me.

I must remember as I go

Through summer sun and winter snow,

I'm molding for the years to be

That little girl who follows me. 

I'd Rather

By Meredith Grey

I'd rather be a mother

Than anyone on earth,

Bringing up a child or two

Of unpretentious birth.

I'd rather tuck a little child

All safe and sound in bed-

Than twine a chain of diamonds

About my foolish head.

I'd rather wash a smudgy face

With round, bright baby eyes-

Than paint the pageantry of fame

Or walk among the wise.
