An Adventure Filled Day

I started writing this in 2006. I've worked on it in bits and pieces and I'm trying to hard to get my syllable counts as close to matching as possible, however am finding that it makes the story a bit 'rough' in spots. Here is the latest version of this story. Any input would be appreciated!

An Adventure Filled Day
That Brought Nothing Mild

Such a sweet, caring and beautiful child
The morning came and brought your day so wild.

There’s much to do and learn even more
Your day will be far from a bore!

Getting the right start to the day
Your mommy makes a breakfast buffet.

With fruit and eggs and pancakes too
Going hungry you just won’t do!

Now it’s time to pick what you will wear
After getting dressed, you’ll do your hair.

Then comes time for you to play
While mom starts her chores for the day.

“We can’t forget to bring this tote.”
It’s time to put on your shoes and coat

Skipping along you two go out the door
It’s time to run errands and shop at the store.

All buckled up, safe and sound
You are ready to drive around!

The first place to make a stop
Is at a bank on the hilltop!

On your way to drop off the mail
The car tire runs over a nail.

The two of you make a pit-stop
At the monstrous tire shop.

The nice young man fixed the broken tire
You head to lunch and drive by a fire.

Bright lights are flashing and sirens roar
As the Fireman runs out the front door.

In his arms, what does he hold?
A child - who’s maybe a year old!

Continuing past the busy street
You find the restaurant where you eat.

After eating a hearty meal
Your mommy then pays the bill.

Now it’s time to head to the store
Where you buy groceries galore!

Driving now, down the familiar road
The car is full of bags to unload.

Once everything is put away
You and mommy get to play.

Crayons and paper and scissors and glue
A treasure is created for ‘you know who.’

As you sit and patiently wait
Your dad comes through the front gate.

You wait by the door to show your art
As soon as he enters you melt his heart!

Mom gets up with a dinner to cook
While you and dad read a short book.

Once supper is ready to eat
You sit at the table in your seat

The mountain of noodles covered in red
Is perfect for dipping your garlic bread.

After helping Mom by clearing the glasses
A sweet treat is served, covered in molasses.

It’s time now to start your nightly routine
Beginning first by getting nice and clean.

Mommy runs water in the bath tub
Bubbles galore make for an easy scrub.

You get dry when you are done and clean
And put on your pajamas that are green.

The next thing to do is brush your hair
And clean your teeth so they have glare.

Mom and Dad come tuck you in bed
And give you a kiss on your forehead.

“Take all the time you need to rest
Tomorrow’s day will be the best!”

“The weekend is here and it’s time to play
Tomorrow we’re headed to the big blue bay.”

If you thought today was crazy and wild
Expect your weekend to be nothing mild.

Dreams of adventures fill your head
While you are snuggled safe in bed.

Tomorrow brings an early rise
And much fun under blue skies.

We love you dearly, sweet child of ours
May the angels watch you from the night stars.
