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
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 back
yard
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 overyou 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 show.
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
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 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.
Thank you for visiting my page.
Please come back and visit again!
ANGELS WATCHING OVER ME
