this will hit you where it hurts, by Teresa Subscribe to rss feed for Teresa

*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
togther.
*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 afternon, 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 wont stand over you trying to fix them
*just for this afternoon i will take us to macdonalds 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 the 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 snuggle beside you for hours
and miss my favorite TV shows
*just for this evening when i run my finger through your
hair as you pray i will  simply be greatful that God has
given me the greatest gift evergiven
*i will think about the mothers and fothers who are serching
for their missing children the mothers and fathers who are
visiting their childrens graves instead of their bedrooms
and mothers and fathers who are in  hospital rooms watching
their children suffer senselessly and screaming inside that
they cant handle it any more
*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.......

its soo sad but at the same time makes you think about what u have instead of what you don't
