but I need her here today. </div> <div> My tummy hurts and I fell down, </div> <div> I need her right away. </div> <div> Operator, can you tell me, </div> <div> how to find her in this book? </div> <div> Is Heaven in the yellow part? </div> <div> I don't know where to look. </div> <div> I think my daddy needs her too, </div> <div> at night I hear him cry. </div> <div> I hear him call her name sometimes, </div> <div> but I really don't know why. </div> <div> Maybe if I call her, </div> <div> she will hurry home to me. </div> <div> Is she very far away, </div> <div> is it across the sea? </div> <div> She 's been gone a long, long time, </div> <div> she needs to come home now! </div> <div> I really need to reach her, </div> <div> but I simply don't know how. </div> <div> Help me find the number please, </div> <div> is it listed under "Heaven"? </div> <div> I can't read these big, big words, </div> <div> I am only seven. </div> <div> I'm sorry operator... </div> <div> I didn't mean to make you cry. </div> <div> Is your tummy hurting too? </div> <div> Or is there something in your eye? </div> <div> If I call my church, </div> <div> maybe they will know. </div> <div> Mommy said if we need help, </div> <div> that's where we should go. </div> <div> I found the number to my church, </div> <div> tacked up on the wall. </div> <div> Thank you operator... </div> <div> I'll give them a call. </div> <div> *-*-*-*-*--*-*-*-*-*-*</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Daddy's Day</U></B> </div> <div> <B>Her hair up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow.</B> </div> <div> <B>Today was Daddy's Day at school and she couldn't wait to go.</B></div> <div> <B>Her Mommy tried to tell her that she probably should stay home.</B> </div> <div> <B>The kids might not understand, if she went to school alone.</B></div> <div> <B>But she was not afraid, she knew just what to say.</B> </div> <div> <B>What to tell her classmates, on this special Daddy's Day.</B></div> <div> <B>But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone.</B> </div> <div> <B>And that was why, once again, she tried to keep her daughter home.</B></div> <div> <B>But the little girl went to school, eager to tell them all.</B> </div> <div> <B>About a dad she never sees, a dad who never calls.</B></div> <div> <B>There were daddies along the wall, in back for everyone to meet.</B> </div> <div> <B>Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their seats.</B></div> <div> <B>One by one the teacher called, a student from the class.</B> </div> <div> <B>To introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed.</B></div> <div> <B>At last the teacher called her name, and every child turned to stare.</B> </div> <div> <B>Each of them were searching for a man who wasn't there.</B></div> <div> <B>"Where's her daddy at?" she heard a boy call out.</B> </div> <div> <B>"She probably doesn't have one," another student dared to shout.</B> </div> <div> <B>And from somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say,</B> </div> <div> <B>"Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste his day."</B></div> <div> <B>The words did not offend her, as she smiled at her friends.</B> </div> <div> <B>And looked back at her teacher, who told her to begin.</B></div> <div> <B>With hands behind her back, slowly she began to speak.</B> </div> <div> <B>And out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique:</B></div> <div> <B>"My Daddy couldn't be here, because he lives so far away.</B> </div> <div> <B>But I know he wishes he could be with me on this special day.</B> </div> <div> <B>And though you cannot meet him, I wanted you to know</B> </div> <div> <B>All about my daddy, and how much he loves me so."</B></div> <div> <B>"He loved to tell me stories, he taught me to ride my bike.</B> </div> <div> <B>He surprised me with pink roses, and taught me to fly a kite.</B> </div> <div> <B>We used to share fudge sundaes, and ice cream in a cone.</B> </div> <div> <B>And though you cannot see him, I'm not standing all alone.</B> </div> <div> <B>'Cause my daddy's always with me, even though we are apart.</B> </div> <div> <B>I know because he told me, "he'll forever be here in my heart"</B> </div> <div> <B>With that her little hand reached up and laid across her chest.</B> </div> <div> <B>Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath her favorite dress.</B></div> <div> <B>From somewhere in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears.</B> </div> <div> <B>Proudly watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years.</B></div> <div> <B>She stood up for the love of a daddy not there by her side.</B> </div> <div> <B>Who would be doing all he could for her, doing what was right.</B></div> <div> <B>When she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd.</B> </div> <div> <B>She finished with a voice so soft, but a message so clear and loud.</B></div> <div> <B>"I love my daddy very much, he's my shining star.</B> </div> <div> <B>If he could he would be here, but heaven's just too far.</B> </div> <div> <B>Sometimes when I close my eyes, it's like he never went away."</B> </div> <div> <B>Then she closed her eyes, and saw him there that day.</B></div> <div> <B>To her mother's amazement, she witnessed with surprise.</B> </div> <div> <B>A room full of daddies and children, all starting to close their eyes.</B></div> <div> <B>Who knows what they saw before them, who knows what they felt inside.</B> </div> <div> <B>Perhaps for just a second, they saw him at her side.</B></div> <div> <B>"I know you're with me Daddy," to the silence she called out.</B> </div> <div> <B>What happened next made believers, of those once filled with doubt.</B> </div> <div> <B>No one in that room could explain it, </B></div> <div> <B>for each of their eyes had been closed.</B> </div> <div> <B>But there placed on her desktop, was a beautiful single pink rose.</B></div> <div> <B>A child was blessed, if for only a moment, </B></div> <div> <B>by the love of her shining bright star.</B> </div> <div> <B>And given the gift of believing, that heaven is never too far.</B></div> <div> <B>"I love you too daddy!"</B></div> <div> by: Cheryl Costello-Forshey
