“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.

filled 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 the hours until bedtime.

“Come on， Darla， time for bed!” She raced past me up the stairs. Tired， I kissed her and tucked her in.

“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; she hit too to the truth. “Good night!” I shut her 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 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 (弄皺的) 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 I 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.
