To My Baby Boys

[YummyMummy616]

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 wake up softly...
 and hold you until you are ready to let go.

Just for this morning,
I will let you choose what you want to wear...
 and I will say how cute you are in it.

Just for this morning,
I will step over the laundry to 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 your puzzle together.

Just for this afternoon,
I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off...
 and sit with you in the garden
blowing 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...
I  will simply love you for the joy you bring me.

Just for this afternoon,
I will let you help me make cookies...
and I wont stand over you ... trying to 'fix things.'

Just for this afternoon,
I will take you to McDonald's and buy us both a 'Happy Meal'...
so you can have two toys.

Just for this evening,
I will hold you in my arms and tell you the story of how you were born...
and how much me and your Daddy love you.

Just for this evening,
I will let you splash in the bathtub...
and I won't get angry when you splash water over the tub.

Just for this evening,
I will let you stay up late...
 while we sit on the porch swing
and count all the stars.

Just for this evening,
I will bring you glasses of water...
and snuggle beside you for hours...
 and miss my favorite t.v. show.

And tonight when you are sleeping safe and warm in your bed,
I will think of the mothers and fathers
who mourn for the children they have lost.

I will remember the parents who sit by hospital beds,
watching over the little ones they love.

I will weep for those parents whose children are cold,
hungry and suffering,

and.... this evening,
I will simply be grateful for all that I have

and not ask for anything...

except just one more day!

~I Love You Always & Forever Bradley & Jeffrey~
