Daddy's
Poem

Her hair was
up in a pony
tail,

her favorite dress tied
with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school, and she couldn't
wait to go.

But her mommy tried to tell her,
that she probably should stay home;
why the kids might not understand,
if she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid;
she knew just what to say.
What to tell her classmates
of why he wasn't there today.
But still her mother worried,
for her to face this day alone.

And that was why, once again,
she tried to keep her daughter home.

But the little girl went to school,
eager to tell them all.
About a dad she never sees, a dad who never
calls.
There were daddies along the wall
in back, for everyone
to meet.

Children squirming impatiently,
anxious in their seat.

One by one the teacher called
on a student from the class.
To introduce their daddy,
as seconds slowly passed.

At last the teacher called her name,
every child turned to stare.
Each of them was searching,
a man who wasn't there.

"Where's her daddy at?"
she heard a boy call out.
"She probably doesn't have one,"
another student dared to shout.
And from somewhere near the back,
she heard a daddy say,
"Looks like another deadbeat dad,
too busy to waste his day."

The words did not offend her,
as she smiled up at her Mom.
And looked back at her teacher, who
told her to go on.
And with hands behind her back,
slowly she began to speak..
And out from the mouth of a child,
came words incredibly unique.

"My Daddy couldn't be here,
because he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could be,
since this is such a special day.
And though you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know
all about my daddy,
and how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me stories,
he taught me to ride my bike;
he surprised me with pink roses,
and taught me to fly a kite.

We used to share fudge sundaes,
and ice cream in a cone.
And though you cannot see him.
I'm not standing here
alone.

'Cause my daddy's always with me,
even though we are apart;
I know because he told me,
he'll forever be in my
heart"

With that, her little hand reached up,
and lay across her chest.
Feeling her own heartbeat,
beneath her favorite dress.

And from somewhere there in the crowd of
dads,
her mother
stood in tears.
Proudly watching her daughter,
who was wise beyond her years.

For she stood up for the love
of a man not in her life.
Doing what was best for her,
doing what was a right.

And when she dropped her hand back down,
staring straight into the crowd.
She finished with a voice so soft,
but its message clear and
loud.
"I love my daddy very much,
he's my shining star.
And if he could, he'd be here,
but heaven's just too
far.

You see he was an Indian Soldier
and he died just this past year,,
when an enemy bomb hit his bunker
and taught all Indians to
fear.
But sometimes when I close my eyes,
it's like he never went away."
And then she closed her eyes,
and saw him there that day.

And to her mother's amazement,
she witnessed with surprise,
a room full of daddies and children,
all starting to close their eyes.

Who knows what they saw before them;
who knows what they felt inside.
Perhaps for merely a second,
they saw him at her side.

"I know you're with me Daddy,"
to the silence she called out.
And what happened next made believers,
of those once filled with doubt.
Not one in that room could explain it,
for each of their eyes had been closed.
But there on the desk beside her,
was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

And a child was blessed, if only for a
moment,
by the love of her shining
star.
And given the gift of believing,
that heaven is never too far.

God
Bless


There must be many children in the same boat as this little
girl, thanks to our servicemen and their families for the
sacrifice they are making to keep our country Free.
The ULTIMATE sacrifice is being left behind. Don't
forget them.

PRAY FOR OUR
TROOPS!!!

Message For all 40+ & 50+ people...

WHERE YOUR LIFE STANDS
HERE ON EARTH.....
IT IS LIKE NOON IN YOUR LIFE.....

Because none of us have many more years to live, optimistically we are in mid life or 2nd half of life & we can't take along anything when we go...

Spend the money
that should be spent,
enjoy what should be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate, but don't leave all/much to your children or grandchildren, for you don't want them to become parasites who may be waiting for the day you will die!!

Don't worry about what will happen after we are gone,
because when we return to dust, we will feel nothing about praises or criticisms. The time to enjoy the worldly life and your hard earned wealth will be over !!!

Don't worry too much about your children, for children will have their own destiny & should find their own way....

Don't be your children's slave.
Care for them, love them, give them gifts, but also enjoy your moments.... Enjoy your money while you can.

Life should have more to it than working from the cradle to the grave!!

40-year old like you, don't trade in your health for wealth by working yourself to an early grave anymore.
Becoz, your money may not be able to buy your health...

When to stop making money?
Or how much is enough....lakhs, crores, million, ten million...???

Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can consume only three quarts (of rice) daily;
Out of a thousand mansions, you only need eight square meters of space to rest at night.

One day passes without happiness, you will lose one day.
One day passes with happiness,
& then you gain one day.

In good spirit,
sickness will cure...
In a happy spirit,
sickness will cure faster..
In high & happy spirits;
sickness will never come...

Above all, learn to cherish the goodness around... and FRIENDS... They all make you feel young & "wanted".....Without them, you are
surely to feel lost !!

Stress means the gap between expectations & reality.
More the gap, more the stress.
Expect nothing
& accept everything....

Don't believe in Tit for Tat rule...
because we can't bite a dog who has bitten us...so don't spoil our level just to teach others.....

Moral......
"Think twice..Act wise.."

Learn to "LET GO"....
Because You cannot have the next breath until you let go the existing one....
