DUST IF YOU MUST

But wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed.
Ponder the difference between want and need.

Dust if you must.

But there is not much time,
With rivers to swim and mountains to climb!
Music to hear, and books to read,
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

Dust if you must.

But the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes,
the wind in your hair,
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come round again.

Dust if you must.

But bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go, and go you must,
You, yourself, will make more dust.

Remember, a house becomes a home
when you can write, "I love You"
on the furniture.

Good afternoon....I just read your "Dust is a Must" and it was all the encouragement I needed to put off the housecleaning for at least one more day...lol....

Is this by chance related to COB1's Swabbie thing? I prefer to be called "STORES". My days of swabbing are over and have been.
