slow down mommy...

slow down mommy, there is no need to rush,

slow down mommy, what is all the fuss?

slow down mommy, make yourself a cup tea.

slow down mommy, come spend some time with me.


slow down mommy, let's pull boots on for a walk,

let's kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.

slow down mommy, you look ever so tired,

come sit and snuggle under the duvet, and rest with me a while.


slow down mommy, those dirty dishes can wait,

slow down mommy, let's have some fun - bake a cake!

slow down mommy, I know you work a lot,

but sometimes mommy, it's nice when you just stop.


sit with us a minute,

and listen to our day,

spend a cherished moment,

because our childhood won't stay!
