The Things I Have Conquered Today

The things I have conquered today, may not seem like much to you.

But while you were at work away, I did laundry and then went though

Our old baby's old clothes and his room, Some I threw out or gave away.

A few I kept, because quite soon, our boy's child may come here to stay

A night or two, with me and you.

If I keep up my health and smile, our son might allow me to hold

The precious girl just for a while and keep me from growing too old.

I washed the dishes and dried them, and I changed the sheets on our bed.

In your pants, I took up the hem. I painted the chicken coop red.

I wanted to spruce the lawn up.
