arr... ish onnna those chain thingies on myspace.. but its so sad. ;-;

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. Of a dad
whos never there a dad
who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in
back, for everyone to
meet. Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their
seats. one by one the
teacher called 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, for 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 another father 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 in the crowd
of dads, her mother stood in tears. Proudly watching her
daughter, who was
wise beyond her years. 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 a fireman and
died just this past year When airplanes hit the towers
and taught Americans
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.

Wow... That's so deep... And yes, quite sad.

I love the way it's written. Thanks for sharing that, ç®À¥Þűֵå.
