Dont know who wrote this, it was sent to me in spam email asking for money.... but still liked the poem
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 fingers 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.............
