Whisper in their ears…..

There are so many things I want to whisper in their ears.
When they are still and sleepy and holding my hand…
There are so many things that I want to say to them after a busy and fun day.
I want to say how special they are - but I want them to be humble.
I want to tell them to be happy - but I want them to be able to handle it when they are sad.
I want to tell them that they can do anything that they want – but I really don’t want them to do anything that they want (think of the chaos in my van alone!)
Tonight I decided as I whispered in the soft little ear and tucked the little footed jammie under the covers that I would whisper
Try
I want you to try.
I want you to try anything and everything but learn from your choices.
I want you to try hard.
I want you to do your very best at everything you do.
There is so much that can be solved with just a little try.
So that is what I whispered tonight
In the soft little ear
I kissed the sleeping cheek and I tucked them in a little tighter and all I whispered was
try.
