A beautiful poem written by a Father to save his Daughter !!!

Do read it once...........I am sure u also won't be left untouched by the words and the feelings that they depict. The last stanza, after reading from the beginning, suddenly slows down the heart-beats.. A sad Dad's poem... This is a beautiful poem. There is an appeal from a Zimbabwean couple at the bottom of message, not asking for anything more than that you hand the poem on. The husband wrote the poem. It reminded me the classic & master piece of hindi literature the Saroj-Smriti, written in the memory of late daughter of Surykanttripathi Nirala himself.

TO MY CHILD

Just for this morning, I am going to

smile when I see your face and laugh


when I feel like crying.


Just for this morning, I will let you


choose what you want to wear,


and smile and say how perfect it is.


Just for this morning, I am going to step


over the laundry and pick you up


and take you to


the park to play.


Just for this morning, I will leave the


dishes in the sink, and let you teach me


how to put


that puzzle of yours together.


Just for this afternoon, I will unplug


the telephone and keep the computer off,


and sit with


you in the backyard and blow bubbles.


Just for this afternoon, I will not yell


once, not even a tiny grumble when you


scream and


whine for the ice cream truck, and I will


buy you one


if he comes by.


Just for this afternoon, I won't worry


about what you are going to be when


you grow up, or


second guess every decision I have


made where you are


concerned.


Just for this afternoon, I will let you


help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you


trying to fix them.


Just for this afternoon, I will take us


to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy


Meal so you can


have both toys.


Just for this evening, I will hold you in


my arms and tell you a story about how


you were


born and how much I love you.


Just for this evening, I will let you


splash in the tub and not get angry.


Just for this evening, I will let you


stay up late while we sit on the porch


and count all the stars.


Just for this evening, I will snuggle


beside you for hours, and miss


favourite TV shows.


Just for this evening when I run my


finger through your hair as you pray, I


will simply be


grateful that God has given me the


greatest gift ever given.


I will think about the mothers and


fathers who are searching for their


missing children, the


mothers and fathers who are visiting


their children's


graves instead of their bedrooms.


The mothers


and fathers who are in hospital rooms


watching their children suffer


senselessly and screaming


inside that little body


And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold

you a little tighter, a little longer. It is


then,


that I will thank God for you, and ask him


nothing, except one more day..............
"Hi! I am a 29-year-old father. My wife and I have had a wonderful life together. God blessed us with a child too. Our daughter's name is Rachel and she is 10 months old. Not long ago did the doctors detect brain cancer in her little body.
There is only one way to save her and that is an operation. Sadly we don't have the money for the operation. AOL and Zdnet (in Zimbabwe ) have agreed to help us.
The only way they can help is this: If you send this email to other people<>AOL will track this email and count how many people get it. Every person that opens this email and sends it to at least 3 people will give us 32c. (in Zimbabwe dollars) Please help us.

It hardly takes a min for you to forward this to your friends, Please do it."
