Can I Have a Quiet Minute?

It was the end of a long day.

Toys all over the floor, baby teething, Mama tired.

I needed to go use the bathroom...

Shut the door, and sighed for a moment of quiet solitude.

Then...

Bang bang.

In a split second, there he was,

banging on the door with baby fists,

jabbering for Mama.

And as I put my head in my hands,

I couldn't help but say,
"Thank you, God!"

I waited all my life to be a mommy,

to have a little person who needed me.

And that sweet day has come!
