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 skool 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.
But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all. Of a dad whos never there a dad who never calls.
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” 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 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. slowly she began to speak and 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…
surprised me with pink roses , and taught me to fly 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,
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..
watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years. And when she dropped her hand back down, staring sraight into the croud 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 us all how to fearBut 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 surpriseA room full of daddies and children, all starting to close their eyes. Who knows what they saw before them…
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 outAnd 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
I hoped you liked my poem i hope it brought a tear to your eye and i hope you will allways rember , all the people who died the 11 of september .
