Watch the water
as it spirals around the rose.
Give it a few seconds
to load, worth the wait!
Will take about 30
- 45 seconds.
There will be spots
of water and slow down.
Then the real show
begins with it starting to
swill from one corner
to another corner.
It is really neat
to see!!! ~~ Enjoy ~~
Her
Daddy
Her hair
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, on this Daddy's Day 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 then
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 were 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 a daddy
say
"Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste
his
day."
The words
did not offend her, as she smiled at her friends.
And
looked back at her teacher, who told her to begin 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 with me on this 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 all alone 'Cause my daddy's always
with
me, even though we are apart I know because he told me,
he'll
forever be here 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, 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
o 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 placed on her desktop,
was
a beautiful fragrant pink rose
And a
child was blessed, if only a moment, by the love of her
shining
bright star And given the gift of believing, that
heaven
is never too far.
