Peace is a State of Mind

I was sitting on the couch before daybreak this morning, cuddling the small kiddos.  No school today, so of course they were up extra early.  It was pitch dark, but no bus, no race, no stress.  

Just peace.  Quiet.  A tender moment...I thought.

I wondered if my kids would keep this scrap of time in their memories, just watching the sun rise, peacefully with Mom...

I looked at my son's freckled face.  His eyes drooped half-mast, dreamily.  

"Whatcha thinking about?" I asked.

"I wish I had dentures,"  he said.  

"Dentures?"

"Yeah!  SHARK DENTURES!!!!  That would be even more epic than tiger dentures.  Yeah, I sure wish I had dentures."

I guess peace is a state of mind.
