There is a time
and place
for everything in life.
The time will come
to break the rules
that say
dinner must come first.
Work must come first.
Fun must come later.
The sweet things
in life must wait.
When the time comes,
we must break
these made-up rules
without hesitation.
In our house,
we break the rules.
We play while working.
We embrace life
while we are living.
And sometimes,
we have
dessert before dinner.
