FAMILY

[love_gundu22]

​

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
could easily replace us
in a matter of days.

But the family we left behind
will feel the lost for the 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?​

Do you know what "family" really means?

FAMILY =
Father And Mother, I Love You​

i doubt, if something like this really happens, bcoz most of the time, its the other way round. We're generally yelling or abusive towards strangers and kind and caring towards family.
