The Story of the Poor Little Rich Boy...

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"


"It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the son.

So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?", asked the father

The son answered:

"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.

We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.

We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added...

"Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

When my friend Chris Cade first sent me this story, I was touched, and I'm grateful to pass it along to you as well. I'd also like to take this moment and thank my parents, family, friends, and of course you. :)

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for”.

Dear Baby this is for Your Great Performance That Day...

My Baby cradled in my arms...


Teaching me your gentle charms.

Growing up with you by my side...

Learning from you never to lie.

To understand and not judge too...

Love and kindness I also learned from you.

Through the years I watch you grow...

Teaching me everything I'd need to know.

Listening to every word I've said...

And every word I've wrote you've read...

You are the Tutor of my Dreams...

My little Witch who never Screams...

Love u Dear with all my being...

My Dear Little Smarty Pants...

We all know...A man who travels alone ..travels the fastest..My daughter teaches me how to travel together....

A Mother's Touch...

Here Goes a Poem for u dear...


Mothers Touch...

I’m so afraid with you...I might make a mistake.

To discipline the situation... always a risk to take.

I may get so angry, and yell so loud...

Wanting you to be a good girl, make me proud.

So young in age, though older in mind...

The biggest part of you so loving, gentle and kind.

I want you to have a good future, really succeed.

Working long hours, hard to give you the attention you need.

One day in your future you will know my love is true.

All the sacrifices will be seen, as with you  little girl, wondering what to do.

I look at you so pretty it frightens me, the best reward is molding you into the person you will be.

I see you changing right before my eyes, nervous for I get only so many tries.

Remember friendship will develop later as you become an adult.

After you've lived life and know the way it felt.

I will get you ready for life that can hurt so much

Then and only then...

Will I be thankful I guided you with a mothers touch....
