“Mommy, look!” cried my daughter, Darla, pointing to a chicken hawk in the air. "Uh huh, "I answered, driving, lost in thought about the timetable of my day.

Disappointment _______ her face.

“What's the matter, sweetheart?” I asked.

“Nothing,” my seven-year-old daughter said. The moment was gone. Dinner, baths and phone calls filled the hours until bedtime.

" Come on, Darla, time for bed! "She raced past me up the stairs. Tired, I kissed her and hugged her.

“Mom, I forgot to give you something! "she said.

“Give it to me in the morning. "I said. My_______ was gone. I could hardly stay cool.

“You won't have time in the morning! "she talked back quickly.

"I’ll take time,” I answered. Sometimes no matter how hard I tried, time was never enough.

She wasn't ready to _______ up yet. "No, you won't! It will be just like today when I told you to look at the chicken hawk. You didn't_______listen to what I said.”

I was too tired to argue, and she hit too close to the truth. "Good night!" I shut the door in anger.

Later though, her gray-blue eyes filled my vision as I thought about how little time we really had until she was grown and gone. My husband asked me about what was going on and I told him.

“Maybe she was not asleep yet. Why don' t you _______?"he said.

I followed his advice,_______ it was my own idea. I opened her door gently. In Darla's hand I could see her paper all crumpled up. She had torn into small pieces a big red heart with a poem she had written titled,"Why I Love My Mother?”

Why I Love My Mother

Although you're busy, and you work so hard

You always take time to play with me

I love you Mommy,

Because l am the biggest part of your busy day!

Tears filled my eyes. When I softly touched her face, she awakened from a dreamless sleep and asked, "Why are you_______, Mommy?”

“You are the most important part of my busy day!”

She smiled and then went back to sleep, not really understanding how strongly I _______what I said.
