TO MY CHILD
>>>
>>>
>>>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, 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
>>>favorite 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.............
