Heart Touching poem by a soldier

Was surfing the internet when i came across this. Its a beautiful Poem written by a soldier. Wish i knew who the person was. 

If i die in a war zone,

box me up and send me home,

Put my medals on my chest,

Tell my mum i did my best

Tell my dad not to bow, 

he wont get tension from me,

Now tell my brother to study perfectly,

keys of my bike will be his permanently,

 

This song might be a year old but i just can't stop playing it

 

Inspirational Story about a man

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away. As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.”

The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers. As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

I came across this and I decided to share

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Isidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

Inspirational Story of a young judo fighter

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his Right arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move. “Sensei,” (Teacher in Japanese) the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

Wise word from a Father to his son about women

What most fathers for get to do lately is to site down with their kids and have a one on one conversation. Here are some few words and a Father told his son before marriage 

My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.

My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.

My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning . . . that was our office.

My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.

Inspirational Story about Helping Others

A mother, wishing to encourage her son's progress at the piano, bought tickets to a performance by the great Polish pianist Ignace Paderewski. When the evening arrived, they found their seats near the front of the concert hall and eyed the majestic Steinway waiting on the stage. Soon the mother found a friend to talk to, and the boy slipped away.
At eight o'clock, the lights in the auditorium began to dim, the spotlights came on, and only then did they notice the boy - up on the piano bench, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." His mother gasped in shock and embarrassment but, before she could retrieve her son, the master himself appeared on the stage and quickly moved to the keyboard.

Inspirational Story of a mouse trap

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. "What food might this contain?" the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said "Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathised, but said "I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The cow said "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.

From a different angle

A rich man woke up one day and decided to travel from one poor country to another in search of the poorest man on earth. He travelled for days by train, car and boat, until he finally got to one who lives on the furthest islands in the nation. As he surveyed the bleak but inspiring landscape, he turned to one local villager and said: "You must be the poorest person here aren't you?" he responded: "Poor in what sense?"

Moral:
Sometimes it is good to have money and the things that money can buy, but It is also good to check ones in a while to see if you have not lost those things that money can’t buy
Remember, its all in how you look at it.

Smart decision (story of two pebbles)

Many years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant's beautiful daughter, so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant's debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal.

The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender's wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble, she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But, if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.

Put a Smile on Someones Face

Hope your day is going on well. As part of my put a smile on someone’s face campaign, here is a few funny pictures and a funny fact about politics. First lets differentiate Knowledge from wisdom

Knowledge and wisdom:

There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit not a vegetable.

Wisdom is knowing not to include it in a fruit salad.

My Bank and I

This is no ponzi scheme, its real Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with £86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every pound, of course!

Little Boys Note

Well as usual, the dad being a very busy man came hone tired and exhausted, and before the son could open his mouth to ask he said son, go to your room and play your game I am too tired to do anything now.

Kids and questions

Kids are said to be gifts from God. A child’s laugh could simply be one of the most beautiful sound in the world. One thing that marvels me the most is their ability to ask many questions and their amazing response to your answer. One Saturday morning, I and my little cousin went to get some items at the grocery store very close to her house. I was so amazed at the way her brain worked. 

We went from one question to another, to some I said “yes, to others I said no, maybe, I can’t say” and on and on. At first I was angry but I came to realize that the way their mind works is quite different from ours.

The Elephant rope

A a man was passing by, suddenly stopped when he saw an elephants, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they just did not.

He walked up to the trainer who was standing nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer replied,
