"Missing You", by Judith Savoree
Copyright © 1989

Please clean up your room I said, this place is just a wreck.
When's the last time you took a bath, have you seen your dirty neck?

There's cookies crumbled on the floor, and toys from wall to wall.
Sometimes I get so tired, I could just sit down and bawl.

It seems I work from sun to sun, you kids don't seem to care.
Come here and let me try to get, the gum out of your hair.

The baby has the colic, and I have not had much sleep.
Will you kids just be quiet, now not another peep.

Stop jumping on the furniture, even though it's not the best.
I'll sure be glad when you're all grown, then I can get some rest.

Now quit arguing and fighting, give it back to her I said.
If you kids don't start behaving, I will send you all to bed.

Now twenty some years later, as I sit alone and stare,
The silence of this lonely house, is more than I can bear.

The house is clean and tidy, and I look for things to do.
Guess I'll take up a hobby, to keep from missing you.

I look forward to the holidays, when my children are all here.
And laughter fill the house again, It's music to my ears.

And I don't mind the clutter, for I know it won't be long.
That the house is like a tomb again, when my children are all gone.
