Father Poem to his Daughter

A beautiful poem written by

a Father to save his Daughter !!! Do read it once...........I am sure u also won't be left untouched by the words and the feelings that they depict.  The last stanza, after reading from the beginning, suddenly slows down the heart-beats..  DAD - BABY RACHEL - MOM  A sad Dad's poem...  This is a beautiful poem. There is an appeal from a Zimbabwean  couple at the bottom of message, not asking for anything more  than that you hand the poem on.  The husband wrote the poem.

TO MY CHILD  Just for this morning, I am going to  smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.

Just for this morning, I will let you  choose what you want to wear,  and smile and say how perfect it is.

Just for this morning, I am going to step  over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

Just for this morning, I will leave the  dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug  the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell  once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and  whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.

Just for this afternoon, I won't worry  about what you are going to be when you grow up, or  second guess every decision I have made where you are  concerned.

Just for this afternoon, I will let you  help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you  trying to fix them.

Just for this afternoon, I will take us  to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can  have both toys.

Just for this evening, I will hold you in  my arms and tell you a story about how you were  born and how much I love you.

Just for this evening, I will let you  splash in the tub and not get angry.

Just for this evening, I will let you  stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.

Just for this evening, I will snuggle  beside you for hours, and miss my favourite TV shows.

Just for this evening when I run my  finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be  grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.

I will think about the mothers and  fathers who are searching for their missing children, the  mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's  graves instead of their bedrooms. The mothers  and fathers who are in hospital rooms  watching their children suffer senselessly and screaming  inside that little body  And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold  you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then,  that I will thank God for you, and ask him for  nothing, except one more day..............  Hi! I am a 29-year-old father.

 My wife and I have had a wonderful life together.

God blessed us with a child too.

Our daughter's name is Rachel and she is 10 months old.

Not long ago did the doctors detect brain cancer in her little body.  There is only one way to save her and that is an operation.

The Duck & the Devil

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing After lunch the next day Grandma said, "S ally, let's wash the dishes"

But Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?" So Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper."

Sally just smiled and said, "Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help" She whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.

After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally 's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, "Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you."

Thought for the day and every day thereafter?

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... and the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)...whatever it is...You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven.

He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.

The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness; He not only forgives you, but He forgets. It is by God's grace and mercy that we are saved.

Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today. Share this with a friend and always remember:

God is at the window!

When Jesus died on the cross; he was thinking of you!

If you are one of the 93 % who will stand up for him

forward this with the title, "I'm in the 93%"

Would you believe 7% of people won't forward this?

Be aware of these Flip Flops from China

This is very true I heard it in news from one of our local radios here that our govt has to be extra careful on these cheap imports from china especially clothes because the Chinese are using some strong but cheap chemical in their manufactures. Cheap is in- expensive and at the same time fatal

Buying Cut fruit -Beware - better cut it yourself

It happens in Singapore - Waterloo Street . A 10 year old boy, had eaten pineapple about 15 days back, and fell sick, from the day he had eaten. Later when he had his Health check done... doctors diagnosed that he had AIDS. His parents couldn't believe it...Then the entire family under went a checkup... none of them suffered from Aids. So the doctors checked again with the boy if he had eaten out...The boy said 'yes'. He had pineapple that evening. Immediately a group from the hospital went to the pineapple vendor to check. They found the pineapple seller had a cut on his finger while cutting the pineapple; his blood had spread into the fruit. When they had his blood checked...the guy was suffering from AIDS...but he himself was NOT aware. Unfortunately the boy is suffering from it now. Please take care while u eat on the road side and pls fwd this mail to your dear one's.
