Regardless of
the age of our children (or grandchildren), near or far,
the following reminds each of us what is truly important
in our lives.
To my
child...
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 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 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 the 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 goodnight I will hold you a little
tighter, and a little longer.
It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask Him
for nothing, except one more day...
Pass this onto all parents and grandparents you know...
