Just for this morning,
I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take
you to the park to play.
Just for this morning,
I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to
put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon,
I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit
with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon,
I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream
and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he
comes by.
Just for this afternoon,
I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up,
or second guess every decision I have made where you are
concerned.
Just for this afternoon,Just for this afternoon,
I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you
trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon,
I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you
can have both toys.
Just for this evening,
I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you
were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening,
I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening,
I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count
all the stars.
Just for this evening,
I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favourite TV
shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger through
your hair as you pray,
I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest
gift ever given.
I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching for
their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting
their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers
and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children
suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle
it anymore.
And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a
little tighter, a little longer.It is then, that I will thank
God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more
day.............
