 Daddy's Day At School
 
 
 
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.
 About a Dad she never sees
 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,
 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 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 here 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.
 
 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 was a policeman
 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 mothers 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.
 
 Author unknown
 
 
 
 They say it takes a minute
 to find a special person,
 an hour to appreciate them,
 a day to love them,
 but then an entire life
 to forget them.
 
 
 Take the time...to live and love!
 Until Eternity.
 
 God Bless

"Dear Lord" Lyrics

(Mother)
Dear Lord, to you I pray, please won't you help me find a way,
To take this pain deep in my heart, and lift it up into your arms.
Dear Lord show me what to do 
 now that my baby's gone home to you. Dear Lord!
 
(Daughter Talking) Mommy, I found Jesus today. He held me in His arms and wiped all my tears away. He called me His precious little angel, like you always do. He said that because you loved me so much, I will soon have wings and can fly free all over Heaven. Thank you for taking such good care of me for Jesus.

 
(Boy)
Dear Lord, to you I pray, please won't you help me find a way,
To take this pain deep in my heart, and lift it up into your arms.
Dear Lord show me what to do,
now that my daddy's gone home to you.  Dear Lord!
 
(Dad Talking) Son, there's been a tragedy and I won't be coming home. I'm in Heaven now and my pain is gone, though yours lives on.
Now that you're the man of the house, I need you to be strong and help your mom with the little ones during this trying time. I'm proud of
you son, and I love you.

 
(Girl)
Dear Lord, to you I pray, please won't you help me find a way,
To take this pain deep in my heart, and lift it up into your arms.
Dear Lord show me what to do,
now that my momma's gone home to you. Dear Lord!

 (Mom Talking) Honey, God has shared your prayers with me, and I miss you too, very much. Though you can't see me, I am always with you.
God has given me the honor of being your Guardian Angel. Keep praying dear, God is listening and can heal your wounded heart.

 
(Man)
Dear Lord, to you I pray, please won't you help me find a way,
To take this pain deep in my heart, and lift it up into your arms.
Dear Lord show me what to do,
now that my only son's gone home to you. Dear Lord!
 
(Son Talking) Dad, I wanted you to know that I didn't suffer long. One minute I was standing in a crowded room and the next I was standing before God and His Angels. When He took me by the hand and said welcome home son, I felt a sense of peace that passes all understanding.
Your strength and compassion has saved my soul
 
 
(Group Singing) Dear Lord, to you we pray, please won't you help us find a way,
To take this pain deep in our hearts, and lift it up into your arms.
Dear Lord show us what to do, now that our loved ones are home with you.
Dear Lord, Dear Lord, Dear Lord
