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 mummy 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 back wall, 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, 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 Mum. 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. For she stood up for the love of a man not in her life. Doing what was best for her, doing what was 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 is a soldier And died just this past year When a roadside bomb hit his convoy and taught brave men 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. Send this to the people you'll never forget and remember to send it also to the person that sent it to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them. If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends. Take the time...to live and love. Until eternity. God bless!
My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And that's when the fight started ................................................. My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying "Yes.." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started .... .................................................. I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?" It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said... So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?" And that's when the fight started... ................................................. Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage... I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day... I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.' My loving wife of 10 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?' And that's when the fight started... ........................................... A man and a woman were asleep like two innocent babies. Suddenly, at 3 o'clock in the morning, a loud noise came from outside.The woman, bewildered, jumped up from the bed and yelled at the man 'Holy Crap. That must be my husband!' So the man jumped out of the bed; scared and naked, jumped out the window. He smashed himself on the ground, ran through a thorn bush and to his car as fast as he could go. A few minutes later he returned and went up to the bedroom and screamed at the woman, 'I AM your husband!' The woman yelled back, 'Yeah, then why were you running?' And that's when the fight started.... ............................................. I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Molson Canadian for $24.95. Instead, she bought a jar of face cream for $17.95. I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the face cream.. And that's when the fight started...... ............................................ A woman was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.' And that's when the fight started.... ............................................. I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"" Nah, she can order for herself..." And that's when the fight started.... ............................................. My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. 'I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' said my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And that's when the fight started.... ................................................................ After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for my SIN. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age... I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt.' So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.' And that's when the fight started..... ........................................ When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive... so, I took her to a gas station. And that's when the fight started.... .......................................... My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds. I bought her a bathroom scale. And that's when the fight started.... ......................................... One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, he didn't buy her a gift. When she asked him why, he replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's when the fight started.... ........................................

A moment sometimes,
Is all it takes to define your life,
It grabs you by your pulse
Leaves you mesmerized
That was then I felt the magic
Was that stardust in your eyes?
For me, you were my mid summer nights dream,
Surreal, yet true
You held my hand when my vision was blur,
You were my superhero; in disguise
I knew I was safe, tucked into your arms,
Was that concern in your eyes?
Over time, you changed my life,
Resurrected me from the ground
You directed me, while I was lost,
Like a night adorned with fireflies,
I had never been happier,
Was that love in your eyes?
Somewhere in it all,
Love was lost,
You said it wasn't even there,
I shed silent tears, veiled my cries,
Shattered; I stood there and you walked away...
Without any regret in your eyes.
I picked up the shards
Of what used to be a beautiful picture
And buried it somewhere in me
You stood on the other end,
Watching my every move,
Yet, you couldn't meet my eyes
The stardust in your eyes;
Was just vision that was blur
Your superhero costume was overdue on rent.
The concern was your act of deceit
The love like you said was never really there,
I finally accepted by defeat.
Yet, now you say, you're regretting it all,
Promises of catching me and then letting me fall,
You say it's the shame, which is why you can't meet my eyes.
I wouldn't still have you back; I have severed those ties,
My heart still bleeds, but there is a smile on my face,
For, this time I am sure, they were tears in your eyes!
Every Day we are all so Busy.
We need to take things much Easy
We sometimes get a little lazy
Ending up doing things crazy
So be yourself forever
Do what you want whenever
That will make you clever
To live a life happily ever
If I could make this easier,
Please know i would,
I'd be with you in a heartbeat,
If only I could.
If i had the power,
I would come to you,
If i had the power,
Not crying (when your not here) would be an easier thing to do.
I cry because it hurts,
Not because im not strong,
But just because you don't cry,
It doesn't make you wrong.
Your the one i count on,
Its you above the rest,
And You need to know i don't blame you,
When you really try your best.
I can't promise to be stronger,
Or always tell you when im hurt,
But if you'd like me too,
A little effort never hurt
