Why not today?

I crept into his room lastnight
To give him a kiss and make sure he was alright
I remember so clearly the book I never read
The game he asked me to play
And the look on his face when I said
'Sorry, darling I'm too busy, not today'
I washed dishes that could have waited
Cleaned rooms that were already done
When what I should have been doing
Was enjoying the moment playing with my son.


This isn't finished but I thought i'd write down what i have before it goes out of my mind.
