*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug thetelephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, noteven a tiny grumble when you scream and whinefor the ice cream truck and I will buy you oneif he comes by.*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry aboutwhat you are going to be when you grow up, orsecond guess every decision I have made whereyou are concerned.
*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you tryingto fix them.

*Just for this evening when I run my fingerthrough your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that GOD has given me the greatest giftever given.
*I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, themothers and fathers who are visiting theirchildren's graves instead of their bedrooms, andmothers and fathers who are in hospital roomswatching their children suffer senselessly, andscreaming inside that they can't handle itanymore.
*And when I kiss you good night I will hold youa little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I willthank GOD for you, and ask Him for nothing,except one more day.............
