Touching story, thought I would share..

Mommy's Day at School
Her hair up in a pony tail
Her favorite dress tied with a bow
Today was Mommy's Day at school
And she couldn't wait to go.
But her daddy 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
On this Mommy's Day.
But still her father worried,
For her to face this day alone
And that was why once again,
He tried to keep his daughter home.
But the little girl went to school,
Eager to tell them all
About a mom she never sees,
A mom who never calls.
There were mommies along the wall in back,
For everyone to meet
Children squirming impatiently,
Anxious in their seats
One by one the teacher called,
A student from the class
To introduce their mommy,
As seconds slowly passed.
At last the teacher called her name,
Every child turned to stare
Each of them were searching,
For a mom who wasn't there
"Where's her mom at?" she heard
A boy called out
"She probably doesn't have one,"
Another student dared to shout.
And from somewhere near the back,
She heard a mommy say
"Looks like another deadbeat mom,
Too busy to waste her day."
The words did not offend her,
As she smiled at her friends
And looked back at her teacher,
Who told her to begin.
And with hands behind her back,
Slowly she began to speak
And out from the mouth of a child,
Came words incredibly unique.
"My mommy couldn't be here,
Because she lives so far away
But I know she wishes she could
be with me On this Mommy's day
And though you cannot meet her,
I wanted you to know
All about my mommy,
And how much she loves me so.
She loved to tell me stories,
She taught me to ride my bike
She 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 her,
I'm not standing all alone.
"Cause my mommy's always with me,
Even though we are apart
I know because she told me,
She'll forever be here 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 mom,
Her father stood in tears
Proudly watching his daughter,
Who was wise beyond her years.
For she stood up for the love
Of a woman not in her life
Doing what was best for her,
Doing what was right.
And when she dropped her hand back down,
Staring straight into the crowd
She finished with a voice so soft,
But its message clear and loud.
"I love my mommy very much,
She's my shining star,
And if she could she'd be here,
But heaven's just too far.
But sometimes when I close my eyes,
It's like she never went away."
And then she closed her eyes,
And saw her there that day.
And to her father's amazement,
He witnessed with surprise
A room full of mommies and children,
All starting to close their eyes.
Who knows what they saw before them,
Who knows what they felt inside
Perhaps for merely a second,
They saw her at her side.
"I know you're with me MOMMY,"
To the silence she called out
And what happened next made believers,
Of those once filled with doubt.
Not one in that room could explain it,
For each of their eyes had been closed
But there placed on her desktop,
Was a beautiful fragrant pink rose.
And a child was blessed, if only a moment,
By the love of her shining bright star
And given the gift of believing,
That heaven is never too far.
