< -< < < < < << I ran into a stranger as he passed by.
< < < < < < << "Oh, excuse me please" was my reply.
< < < < < < << He said, "Please excuse me too;
< < < < < < << I wasn't even watching for you."
< < < < < < << We were very polite, this stranger and I.
< < < < < < << We went on our way and we said good-bye.
< < < < < < << 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 the way," I said with a frown.
< < < < < < << She walked away, her little heart broken.
< < < < < < << I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < << While I lay awake in bed,
< < < < < < << God's still small voice came to me and said,
< < < < < < << "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use,
< < < < < < << But the children you love, you seem to abuse.
< < < < < < << Look on the kitchen floor,
< < < < < < << You'll find some flowers there by the door.
< < < < < < << Those are the flowers she brought 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, little girl, wake up," I said.
< < < < < < << "Are these the 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'd like 'em, 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."
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < << Are you aware that:
< < < < < < << If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for
< CS< could
< < < < < < << easily replace us in a matter of days.
< < < < < < << But the family we left behind will feel the lost for the
< CS< rest
< < < < < < << of their lives.
< < < < < < << And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work
< < than
< < < < < < << to our family - an unwise investment indeed.
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < << So what is behind the story?
< < < < < < << You know what is the full word of family?
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < << FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU ?
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < <<< <
< < < < < < <
< < < < < < <Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born
< < < < < < <until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new
< CS< world
< < is
< < < < < < < born.
