this day is a gift


you will never have this day with your children again.

 

tomorrow, they'll be a little older than they were today.

 

 

this day is a gift,

 

breathe and notice;

smell and touch them

study their faces, and little feet

and pay attention.

relish the charms of the present.

enjoy today, mama.

it will be over before you know it.
