My dishes went unwashed today.
I didn't make the bed;
I took God's hand and followed him
To VBS instead.
Oh, yes, we went adventuring
The Children and I;
Exploring the whole Bible
For truths we can't deny.
My house was sure neglected,
I didn't sweep the stair;
In twenty years no one on earth
Will know, or even care.
But that I've helped a boy or girl
To noble adulthood grow,
In twenty years the whole wide world
May look, and see and know.
