One Minute More
I know she’s asleep
Long day of third grade
Soccer practice
Chicken nugget supper
Sidewalk chalk with neighbor kids
“Bath time!”
Scramble inside, head upstairs
Trail of muddy clothes
Sudsy bath bubbles
Strawberry shampoo
Warm hooded towel
Hand-me down Jammies
“Brush your teeth!”
My night to tuck in The Bug
Bible verse and bedtime story
Sleep tight
Kiss on cheek, covers under chin
She’s fast asleep
Time for me to head downstairs
Not yet
One more look
One more intoxicating moment
One minute more
