Strange but true

;)

I ran into a stranger as he passed by

" ooh excuse me please "was my reply.

He said ,"please excuse me too;wasn't even watching for you"

We were very polite,this stranger and I

We went on our way and we said goodbye .

But at home a different story is told,

How we treat our loved ones young and old.

Later that day , cooking the evening meal,

My daughter stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked her down

"Move out of my way, "I said with a frown .

She walked away, her little heart broken .

I didn't realise how harshly I'd spoken .

While I lay wake in bed,

God's still small voice came to me and said ,

"While dealing with a strange common courtesy you use , but the children you love ,you seen to abuse

Look on the kitchen floor,

You'll find some flowers there by the door .

Those are the flowers she bought for you.

She picked them herself ,pink yellow and blue .

She stood quietly not to spoil the surprise ,

And you never saw the tears in her eyes "

By this time ,I felt very small

And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by her bed

"Wake up, my little girl , wake up ,"I said

"Are these flowers you picked for me ?"

She smiled, "I found 'em out by the tree

I picked'em because they 're pretty like you

I knew you would like them especially the blue "

I said "daughter, I'm sorry for the way I acted today ;

I shouldn't have yelled at you that way "

She said "oh mom, that's okay . i love you anyway "

I said "Daughter , i love you too ,

And I do like the flowers , especially the blue".
