A beautiful poem written by a Father to save his Daughter !!!

Do read it once............I am sure u also won't be left untouched by the words and the feelings that they depict. 
The last stanza, after reading from the beginning, suddenly slows down the heart-beats.. 

DAD - BABY RACHEL - MOM 

A sad Dad's poem... 
This is a beautiful poem. There is an appeal from a Zimbabwean couple at the bottom of message, not asking for anything more than that you hand the poem on. The husband wrote the poem. 

TO MY CHILD 


Just for this morning, I am going to 
smile when I see your face and laugh
when I feel like crying.. 
Just for this morning, I will let you 
choose what you want to wear, 
and smile and say how perfect it is. 

Just for this morning, I am going to step 
over the laundry and pick you up and take you to
the park to play. 

Just for this morning, I will leave the 
dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put
that puzzle of yours together. 

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug 
the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with
you in the backyard and blow bubbles. 

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell 
once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and 
whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one
if he comes by. 

Just for this afternoon, I won't worry 
about what you are going to be when you grow up, or 
second guess every decision I have made where you are 
concerned. 

Just for this afternoon, I will let you 
help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you 
trying to fix them. 

Just for this afternoon, I will take us 
to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can 
have both toys. 

Just for this evening, I will hold you in 
my arms and tell you a story about how you were 
born and how much I love you. 
Just for this evening, I will let you 
splash in the tub and not get angry. 

Just for this evening, I will let you 
stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars. 

Just for this evening, I will snuggle 
beside you for hours, and miss my favourite TV shows. 

Just for this evening when I run my 
finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be 
grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given. 

I will think about the mothers and 
fathers who are searching for their missing children, the 
mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's 
graves instead of their bedrooms. The mothers 
and fathers who are in hospital rooms 
watching their children suffer senselessly and screaming 
inside that little body 

And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold 
you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, 
that I will thank God for you, and ask him for 

nothing, except one more day.............. 
Hi! I am a 29-year-old father. My wife and I have had a wonderful life together. God blessed us with a child too. Our daughter's name is Rachel and she is 10 months old. Not long ago did the doctors detect brain cancer in her little body. 

There is only one way to save her and that is an operation. Sadly we don't have the money for the operation. AOL and Zdnet (in Zimbabwe ) have agreed to help us.. 

The only way they can help is this: If you send this email to other people< BR>AOL will track this email and count how many people get it. Every person that opens this email and sends it to at least 3 people will give us 32c. (in Zimbabwe dollars) Please help us. 

It hardly takes a min for you to forward this to your friends, Please do it..
