What lasts for eternity?
What can I do today that will last for eternity?
Throughout the endless cycle of meals, messes,
maladies and mischief, in my toddler's day,
I can look toward eternity.
To focus my thoughts and energies on the things that truely matter.
I can use this day to teach my toddler a little more kindness,
a little more patience, a little more gentleness.
And not sweat on the temporary small stuff.
