her hair was up in a ponytail her favorite 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 wasnt there today but still her mother worried for her to face this day alone and that is 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 sees a dad who never calls there were daddies along the wall in the back for everyone to meet childeren 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 a man who wasn't there she went to the front of the class 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 she slowly began to speak and from out the mouth of a child came words incredibly unique 'my daddy couldnt 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 u cannot meet him i wanted you to know all about my daddy and how much he loves me so he loved to tell me storie 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 im not standing here alone cause my daddy is 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 heart beat beneath her favorite dress and from somewhere in the crowd of dads her mother stood in tears proudly watched her daughter who was wise beyond her years she finished with a voice so soft but its message clear and loud... 'i love my daddy very much hes my shining star and if he could, he'd be here ..but heavens just too far'
