Reading to my children

Sometimes I must admit that I get tired of reading the same books over and over. Or books that they prefer and I think are boring (my boys are young).

I found this poem today that is a good reminder.

The Reading Mother

I had a Mother who read me things
That wholesome life to a child's heart brings –
Stories that stir with an upward touch.
Oh that every Mother were such!

You may have tangible wealth untold
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be.
I had a Mother who read to me.
