The Woman

THis is not written by me but i could not resist including this one here....

And i dedicate this one to MUM

and i dedicate this one to YOU:

When a man was sitting beside a woman after working late one day, a boy came by and said, "why spend so much time beside her??"

And the man answered "son, have you seen all she is capable of??"

"She functions on all kinds of food, she is able to embrace several kids at the same time, gives a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart, and does all this with only two hands"

The little boy was impressed "just two hands.....impossible! And this is a normal woman?? Too much work for one day....."

"Indeed", said the man. "THat is why she is my favorite."

"She cures herself when sickand can work for 18 hours a day"

The little boy came nearer and touched the woman, "but she is so soft."

"She is soft", said the man, "but she is also strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome."

"Can she think?" the little boy asked.

The man answered "not only she can think, she can reason and negotiate."

The little boy touched the woman's cheek....... "It seems she is leaking....... You have put too many burdens on her"

"She is not leaking..... It's a tear." the man corrected the litle man.

"What's it for??" asked the little boy.

The man said "tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride"

This made a big impression on the little boy "hey, you are lucky. You know everything. The woman is indeed MARVELLOUS!"

Indeed she is!

Woman has strengths that amazes man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. 

She holds happiness, love and opinions. 

She smiles when feeling like screaming.

She sings when she feels like crying, cries when she feels happy and laughs when she is afraid.

She fights for what she believes in. 

Stands up against injustice.

She doesn't take "NO" for an answer, when she can see a better solution. 

She gives herself so that her family can thrive. 

Her love is unconditional.

She cries when her kids are victorious.

She is happy when her friends do well. 

She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.

Her heart is broken when a next of a kin or a friend dies.

But then she finds strength to get on with life.

She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.

There is only one thing wrong with her

"SHE FORGETS HER WORTH"

I feared until............................

I feared being alone
until i learned to like myself

I feared failure
until i realized that i only fail when i don't try

I feared people's opinions
until i learned that people would have opinions about me newayz

I feared rejection
until i learned to have faith in myself

I feared pain
until i learned it is necessary for growth

I feared truth
until i saw ugliness in lies

I feared the future
until i realized that life just kept getting better

Wish i could ever hear this from you DAD

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 my 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 for

nothing, except one more day..............

Hear the MUZZIC, before the song is over

Have you ever
watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened
to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed
a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun
into the fading night?
You better
slow down.
Don't dance
so fast.
Time is short.
The music
won't last.


Do you run
through each day
On the fly?
When you ask
How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day
is done
Do you lie in
your bed
With the next
hundred chores
Running through
your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music
won't last.


Ever told
your child,
We'll do
it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see
his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good
friendship die
Cause you
never had time
To call and say,
"Hi"
You'd better
slow down.
Don't dance
so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last .


When you run
so fast
to get somewhere
You miss
half the fun
of getting there.
When you
worry and hurry
through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is
not
a race.
Do take
it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
