*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....... PLEASE DO NOT COPY THIS I GOT IT OFF TEH INTERNET ITS ABOUT A FATHER WHO IS 29 AND HIS DAUGHTER WHO IS 10 AND HAS BRAIN CANCER
