I'd Rather

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.

~ Meredith Gray

Great little poem by Meredith Grey, Ashley........my sentiments precisely! You would have loved seeing Carrick's 'ruined' little yellow stripped shirt with chocolate ice cream on it two weeks ago!! He was sure happy!
