Daddys love
Her hair was up in a ponytail
Her favourite 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 see
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,
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 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 favourite 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 backdown
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 fireman
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 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 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 bright
star.
And given the gift of believing,
That heaven is never too far

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.

My Best Friend
We have always been inseparable,
Well at least since the age of two,
Best friends we stood side by side,
It was always me and you.

We always told each other secrets,
There wasn�t anything we kept from each other,
I loved you more than anything,
You were like my brother.

From kindergarten to 4th grade,
You got teased for hanging out with a girl,
Still you never left me alone,
You put me before the world.

Then I fell in love,
With some guy in my 7th grade class,
And when he broke my heart,
You were there to kick his a$$.

You were always there for me,
Through the thick and thin,
Always you were there,
Being my best friend.

No matter what happened to us,
Or came in our way,
You never left me all alone,
You were there to stay.

You threw me the biggest party,
On my sweet sixteen,
Everyone from school was there,
But you I hadn�t seen.

As I went to open my presents,
I opened your card first,
It said the you loved me more than a friend,
And my tears soon began to burst.

Then out from the corner of the room,
You began to walk my way,
Tears came streaming down my face,
I began to runaway.

I locked myself in my room,
And cried tears to form a sea,
And soon I realized we were more than friends,
That we were meant to be.

I came out of my room,
To find you standing there,
I looked into your eyes,
And realized you really cared.

So soon you became my boyfriend,
And we kissed for moments to last,
And forgot all about just being friends,
Like we were in the past.

Then on my 21st birthday,
You took me for surprise,
As you went down on your knees,
And I looked right in your eyes.

You took my hand so firmly,
As you were about to change your life,
You took a ring from in your pocket,
And said, �Will you be my wife?�

I was so shocked my mind went blank,
I didn�t know what to say,
As I softly spoke words so true,
Tears came as I said, �Okay�

You looked at me and said,
�I have another present waiting for you.�
You opened the curtains only to see,
A BMW painted blue.

We both jumped in,
My brand new car,
And we took off for a ride,
Though we didn�t go far.

Another car started swerving,
And right in a flash,
That car and I,
Had suddenly crashed.

It was a drunk driver,
Who took my soon to be husbands life,
And left me here all alone,
His soon to be wife.

If it wasn�t for them,
He�d still be alive,
Just shows to what happens,
When you drink and drive.

My Only Love
You filled my holes that were in my heart
And I want to give you thanks
You were always there in my time of need
And now I want to let you know
That when times are tough
We need to stick together
I love you in every way
I need you, want you, and care for you
I cry when your not around
We both feel each other's pain
For all I want to do is runaway with you
So I can hold you tight
And never let you go
My feelings are strong
I know this because I
Think of you always
Even when it seems like I'm mad I think of our times together
And I start to feel better
You make me feel like I'm important to the world
And nobody's ever done that
When your around I'm speechless
I have a hard time talking
Just to think of you makes me smile
If we ever fell apart my life would be empty
For my life will be filled with loneyness
So I want to be with you
For our time is short
For soon you'll be going your own way
And I'll be left behind
With memories of just us
For now I would like us to make our relationship
The best that it can be
I miss you everyday and every minute that I'm not with you
I never have a doubt of you, and never will
My tears fall for you
My heart belongs to you
When your in pain
I cry for us
To see us having to hide
Makes me feel sad
But if we have to
I'm glad to say your mine
To tell you that
I Love You and always will.

Suicide
She knew it when she met him
From the very first time
They were meant to be together
There wasn�t a doubt in her mind

From the first words that he spoke
She could hear it in his voice
She knew he felt the same way
It was a given, not by choice

Immediately they were together
The couple that everyone knew
There was an instant connection
And their friends could feel it too

People said it wouldn�t work
Because they came from different places
But their love was everlasting
You could see it in their faces

Their parents saw it differently
Forbidding it to start
But their feelings were so strong
They couldn�t keep them apart

Their parents went through everything
Thinking it couldn�t last
Judging by accidents
With relationships in the past

It was like they�d known forever
This relationship was right
To him she was his princess
And to her he was her knight

And then they were finally separated
Both of their hearts being torn
It felt like tearing the petals off a rose
And being pricked by the thorn

They found a way to be together
Secretly meeting late at night
Making love until the sun rose
Holding each other tight

Finally they came to realize
This was no way to live
Secretly loving your soul mate
Was more effort then they could give

One night they went together
Bringing along a knife
Kissing each other good-bye
And taking each other's life

The plunging of the knife
Stood for the sacrifices they were making
And the pouring of their blood
Was for the measures they were taking

They held each other tightly
As they watched each other die
But they knew that this was better
Than living in a lie

Hours later they were found
No one knowing just why they died
But stories are going around
Of a lovers' suicide
