Just For This Morning
Just for this morning,
I am going to smile when
I see your face and laugh
when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning,
I will let you wake up softly
all rumpled in your sheets
and I will hold you
until
you are ready for the day.
Just for this morning,
I will let you choose what
you want to wear and smile
and say how perfect it is.
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 the 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
icecream 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 you 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 fingers through your hair
as you pray,
I will simply be grateful that God has
given me the greatest gift ever given.
I will thik about the mothers who are
searching for their missing children,
the mothers who are visiting their
children's graves instead of their
bedrooms and mothers who are in the
hospital rooms watching their children
suffer senselessly and screaming
inside that they can't handle it
anymore and when I kiss you goodnight
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.
