It made me cry.

A beautiful poem that's making it's rounds on the internet. I'd like to share it here.

To My Child
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, andpick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and llet you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep thecomputer 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 madewhere you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and Iwon’t stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald’s and buy usboth a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you astory 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 onthe 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 finger 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 fortheir missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visitingtheir children’s graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers andfathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffersenselessly, and screaming inside that they can’t handle it anymore.
And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, alittle longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you.
