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 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 son stood beside me very still
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown
He walked away, his little heart broken
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken
While I lay awake in bed
a small voice came to me and said
"While dealing with a stranger
common courtesy you use
but the family you love, you seem to abuse
Go and look on the kitchen floor
You'll find some flowers there by the door
Those are the flowers he brought for you
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise
."you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes
By this time, I felt very small
And now my tears began to fall
I quietly went and knelt by his bed
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said
"?Are these the flowers you picked for me
.He smiled, "I found them, out by the tree
.I picked them because they're pretty like you
."I knew you'd like them, especially the blue
;I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today
."I shouldn't have yelled at you that way
.He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay
."I love you anyway
,I said, "Son, I love you too
."and I do like the flowers, especially the blue
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died 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 loss
.for the rest of their lives
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
,into work than into our own family
?an unwise investment indeed, don't you think
?So what is behind the story
?Do you know what the word FAMILY means
=FAMILY
