A fun poem for Carol unfortunately I didn't write it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mucky Duck ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Little duck was full of muck, a mucky duck was she.
She waddled to the waters edge to paddle in the sea.
Quack. Quack. she washed her feathers down,
Quack. Quack. she washed her feet.
Quack. Quack. said little mucky duck,
"And now I'm nice and clean," WHOOPIE!

She went into a muddy field, and both her feet got stuck.
And all the way down to her tail she was a mucky duck.
Quack. Quack. she washed her feathers down,
Quack. Quack. she washed her feet.
Quack. Quack. said little mucky duck,
" And now I'm nice and clean " WHOOPIE!

She used to be a mucky duck, but now it's plain to see.
By swimming in the water, she's as clean as she can be.
Quack. Quack. she washed her feathers down,
Quack. Quack. she washed her feet.
Quack. Quack. said little mucky duck,
" And now I'm nice and clean" WHOOPIE!

Friends to me are like rainbows
They never come to an end
They are there to support you
Tell you truths and not pretend

Friends are like forever
Make you laugh when your blue
And I'm proud Carol love
To have a friend like you.

My Friends

My friends mean more to me
Than all the gold in the land
Yes my friends are always there
To lend a helping hand

I love my friends everyone
I love them all the same
Always there to support you
They never point the blame

My friends shine for me
And i welcome them each day
Yes my friends are my friends
And they will never go away

Betrayal Of A Confidence

To betray a friends confidence

is way below the belt

Having no compassion

for how that person felt

Betrayal of a confidence

cuts so very deep

So think before you gossip

don’t you find it hard to sleep?

You may need a friend

yourself some day

To tell your troubles to

Imagine how you’d feel

If they did the same to you

People say you live and learn

I certainly did with you

I’ll be more careful in the future

Who I tell my troubles to

-daddys poem---------------------

Her hair was up in a pony tail,
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 wasn't there today.

But still her mother worried,
For her to face this day alone.
And that was 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 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 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.

'Where's her daddy at?'
She heard a boy call out.
'She probably doesn't have one,'
Another student dared to shout.

And from somewhere near the back,
She heard a daddy say,
'Looks like another deadbeat dad,
Too busy to waste his day.'

The words did not offend her,
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,
Slowly she began to speak.
And out from the mouth of a child,
Came words incredibly unique.

'My Daddy couldn't 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 you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know.
All about my daddy,
And how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me stories
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.
I'm not standing here alone.

'Cause my daddy's al ways 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 heartbeat,
Beneath her favorite dress. And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads,
Her mother stood in tears.
Proudly watching her daughter,
Who was wise beyond her years.

For she stood up for the love
Of a man 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 daddy very much,
he's my shining star.
And if he could, he'd be here,
But heaven's just too far.

You see he is a Brittish soldier
And died just this past year
When a roadside bomb hit his convoy
And taught Britians to fear.
But sometimes when I close my eyes,
it's like he never went away.'
And then she closed her eyes,
And saw him there that day.

And to her mothers amazement,
She witnessed with surprise.
A room full of daddies 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 him at her side.

'I know you're with me Daddy,'
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 on the desk beside her,
Was a fragrant long-stemmed rose.


And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
By the love of her shining star.
And given the gift of believing,
That heaven is never too far.

Send this to the people you'll never forget and
Remember to send it also to the person that sent It to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.

If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're
in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends.

Take the time...to live and love.
Until eternity. God bless!
