Dads Blessings

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry, he raised his voice to his father and said "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. And as he did, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss Spirit's blessings and answers to our prayers because they do not arrive exactly as we have expected?

TODAY'S's affirmation: "Today I look beyond the obvious and allow miracles to be created in my life."

سلام
شب يا صبحتون بخير

من آتش هستم

و آدرس شمارو از دوستم گرفتم
نميدونم با شعر مينتون چطوره اما براي امتحان چند بيتي رو تقديم ميكنم
لازمه بگم من اصلا زباني جز فارسي و در نهايت شعر و نميشناسم
شايد اين نقص باشه اما وقت اينكارارو ندارم
چون شعر و كار تمام
وقت و اوقات فراغتم رو پر كرده
متاسفم كه نميتونم نظرمو راجع به نوشته هاتون بگم
چون ......... بهر حال ببخشيد
براتون احترام زيادي قائلم چون با اين راهي كه در پيش گرفتيد روزي باعث افتخار خود و خانواده و همه اطرافيانتون خواهيد شد
كه اميدوارم حداقل بتونم براتون يك دوست باشم
البته اگر شعر دوست داشته باشيد و منو بعنوان يك دوست بپذيريد كه چه بهتر

راستي اگر شعر براي مادر يا پدر گراميتونم بخواهيد تقديم ميكنم

: تقديم بشما يكي از سروده هاي جديدم

------------------------------


پایکوبی سکوت
*********
وقتی که میرفت
تماشایش کردم
بغض گلویم را
میفشرد
با نگاه
بدرقه اش کردم
چقدر زیبا و
چه خیال انگیز
با لباسی از یاس
و گلهای اطلسی
به میهمانی رقیب میرفت
او میرفت و
من
با دلی افسرده
و با کوله باری از
تنهایی
به تکرار سروده های غم
به پایکوبی سکوت
میرقصیدم
********
آتش


اگر باز هم شعر خواستيد
فقط يك اشاره
و اگر بهر دليلي از مصاحبت با من خوشتون نمياد فقط بگيد
ديگه هرگز مزاحمتون
نخاهم شد

به سوز آتش قسم
هرگز مزاحمتون
نخواهم شد

ايامتون هميشه شاد

در انتظار

سلام
شب خوش

از اينكه باز هم مزاحمتون شدم
عذرخواهي ميكنم
فقط اومدم تا براتون در تمامي مراحل زندگي آرزوي موفقيت و سلامتي كنم
با توجه به اينكه به شعر علاقه اي نداشته و دوستي با اين نوع علائق رو نميپسنديد
لذا ديگه مزاحمتي! براتون ايجاد نميكنم

ايامتون هميشه خوش
