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.

Sadly we don't have the money for the operation.
