Sometimes,
I look at these two little girls of mine,
running around the yard,
or dancing around the living room,
or off in their own world playing with their dolls.

And I realize that, someday,
these little girls will be:
mothers
wives
friends and neighbors

I am overwhelmed.
By the task,
and by my love for them.

I remind myself (again) to
play more
and think less.
