Just one more day....

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 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
for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who
are visiting their children's graves instead of their
bedrooms, and 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 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.............

CHOCOLATE FACT: Dove is a brand of chocolate candy produced by Mars, Incorporated. Its history dates back to the mid-fifties, to a small candy shop in Chicago, Illinois. As the story goes, the owner of this candy shop, Leo Stefanos, would often worry about his two sons as they would run off chasing the local ice cream truck. To keep his sons safe, he decided to create his very own ice cream bar, the original Dove Bar. His son later took over the business and eventually sold the Dove Bar company to M&M/Mars in 1985. Then in 1990 the Dove Chocolate bar, inspired by the chocolate on the original Dove bar, was introduced nationally. In the USA, it's considered to be a high-end mass market brand of chocolate. The popularity of the brand has continued to grow throughout the years and is now one of the most popular chocolates sold.
