A Sweet Message

Hi Guys,

Here's something I just copied from another board. It's a bit slushy but it brought a little tear to my eye, so I thought I'd share it with everybody here.


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.............
