“I Did Nothing Today”
When children come home at the end of the day,
The question they’re asked as they run out to play i
s “tell me what did you do today?”
And the answer they give makes you sigh with dismay.
“Nothing, I did nothing today!”
Perhaps “Nothing” means I read a book,
Or…with a teacher I got to cook.
Maybe I painted a picture of blue,
Or heard a story of a mouse that flew.
Maybe I wrote in my journal myself,
Or found a great book on the library shelf.
Maybe I helped a friend today,
Or went to my favorite area alone,
Maybe today was the very first time
That my scissors followed a very straight line,
Or worked with a special brand new friend.
When you’re three, four, or five your heart has wings
And “Nothing” can mean so many things.
