Dr. Gordon Neufeld's talk
S2 online library for rhymes
HECOA Part 1
HECOA Part 2
Mother's Boys
Yes, I know there are stains on my carpet,
    The traces of small muddy boots;
And I see your fair tapestry glowing,
    All spotless with flowers and fruit.
 
And I know that my walls are disfigured
    With prints of small fingers and hands;
And that your own household most truly
    In immaculate purity stands.
 
And I know that my parlor is littered
    With many odd treasures and toys,
While your own is in daintiest order,
    Unharmed by the presence of boys.
 
And I know that my room is invaded
    Quite boldly all hours of the day;
While you sit in your unmolested
    And dream the soft quiet away.
 
Yes, I know there are four little bedsides
    Where I must stand watchful each night,
While you may go out in your carriage,
    And flash in your dresses so bright.
 
Now I think I'm a neat little woman;
    And I like my house orderly, too;
And I'm fond of all dainty belongings,
    Yet I would not change places with you.
 
No! keep your fair home with its order,
    Its freedom from bother and noise;
And keep your own fanciful leisure,
    But give me my four splendid boys.

Hello! It says the Gordon Neufield talk is private. What words should I search for besides his name in order to find the talk you are referencing?

Listening to your podcast and other recordings touches my heart so much. Much of what you taught in this episode also reminds me of Maria Montessori’s teachings for that age. Thank you for putting your words and wisdom out there for moms like me.
