Hello everyone here Ji, Today I recieved following email from my grand-son requesting to help the baby for her operation. This is for everyon eto read understand and react. May god bless you and have a great time. A beautiful poem written by a Father to save his Daughter !!! [b]"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.. DAD - BABY RACHEL - MOM 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. 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 concern ed. 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.............. 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 peopleAOL 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."[/b]

yes, Riya a very touching poem but I do believe its another of those scams. I have come across such mails before where you just need to send it to as many people as possible and AOL or some other site pays. What I don’t understand is how and why such payments are made based on the number of times a mail has been circulated! Some say that it’s a method of collecting email IDs for spam and other purpose. What saddens me most is that people use such close relations and emotions to influence others into participating in such spasm.

[b]Hello my friend riyasam Ji, and my dear sudiptacallingu Ji,[/b] So nice of you for your positive encouraging response. So I thought of posting in this manner and not providing email ID's. It could be right as well. The very purpose is served.

So sad... My eyes are filled with tears. I really hate reading things like this.. Although it makes me feel lucky for having 2 healthy children my heart breaks just thinking about all those families that do suffer with sick children..
