Hi, this is the story of a young boy who made some heart wrenching mistakes but ultimately had a chance to fix them. I feel that it is a story that needs to be shared with as many people as possible as I am sure there are many out there who can relate. Written in rhyming prose, my hope is to have readers understand and perhaps alter a decision they made once a long time ago to turn their backs on those who matter most. Humbly yours, Merahs

1. Once upon a time there was a young boy who was raised in a very wealthy family. The family had factories all over the world ranging from plastics to pharmaceuticals to leather, you name it, they made it. Many thought the young boy swam in a money pool in his backyard - they had no idea that his life was about to become very hard.

2. Each member of the boy’s family was to learn one trade of the family business so as to carry on the legacy when the founders passed on - At a very young age, as early as 11, one by one the young boy and his siblings learned a discipline - The young boy of this story was meant to be in charge of the plastics factory, bar none. For 6 years the boy toiled and labored to learn all there was to know about plastics and everything around - as well as how to carry on the family legacy and to make his dad proud. One day the boy’s father was so pleased with his son’s progress that he went on a trip and left him in charge - - the boy was now 17 and was roaming the factory at large.

3. The young boy’s father was away for five months so sang the lark - By now, the boy had understood the operations of the factory and was determined to make his mark - He felt comfortable to make operational and efficiency changes without first seeking his father’s permission. Little did the boy know this would be an awful decision. Though the changes were for the best when the boy’s father returned he was shocked at the changes made by his son – he became very angry with the young man and insisted that if he could do better, then he should do it himself - then by his way get it done.

4. The young man caught the earliest flight he could and sought out his own fortune, doing things his way. But destiny was plotting a dramatically different course for this boy that day.

5. Just after he landed, the eager young man made a b-line to the nearest bank to withdraw funds for his new venture - Though he didn’t even know what he would be doing yet – he couldn’t help but thrive on the freedom of his new found pressure When he arrived at the bank, the young boy discovered - that while in the air, his father never sputtered – - He had drawn all the boy’s money out and closed all his accounts - The once rich, promising eager boy was now penniless and had to find some way to work his circumstances out– success was his only option without a doubt. Not only did this young man have to succeed bankrupt with only his health - he needed to find a way to succeed better than anyone else.

6. The once rich, now penniless young man pleaded with the bank to give him some way to live now that he was all alone in a country across the ocean from his home - The bank suggested he apply for a loan. Using his wits and in shear desperation the boy qualified for a $10,000 bank donation - The money was approved on a Thursday and took 3 business days to clear – Thus for 4 days the boy would have no money and would have to live out on the streets in fear. The boy found the safest park bench and passed 4 days here – all the while planning out his road for the next 30 years.

7. Lo and behold, the boy searched far and wide and across the globe for any sort of product to be sold – he only had six month’s rent in his pocket and an attitude that was frighteningly bold. After a long search, late one day - the youth found an odd product that he determined was a bidet - He researched the US market and analyzed the deepest market demands and competitor’s market share - and determined that the bidet was his answer to all those things that kept him up at night while in bed at the ceiling he would stare.

8. The young boy thus launched the wide scale distribution of this marvelous unit the in toilet seat bidet - and found his market growing exponentially day after day. As the boy’s revenue figures grew day over day, year over year – the boy find an unfamiliar peace – he could finally live without his worst fear. But the boy’s worst fear was not living a life with penniless means now and today – his worst fear was not rising to his father’s challenge and not accomplishing things successfully his way.

9. Hence, 15 years had passed and this young boy was now a respected self made entrepreneur – as he passed on from business to business, selling them for sizable gain on the regular his attitude surprisingly become more and more demure – yet he had heard not a word from his father once throughout this decade and a half ten-ure. The boy had put himself through college, and university and graduate school and more – he now felt that it was time to finally settle the score

10. The boy now a man - returned to his homeland, thousands of miles across the sea – His sister was getting married and this happy occasion brought them once more together – the once happy family He had written a speech to his father and rehearsed it to perfection on through the morrow - but when the fates rose to carry his voice he saw in his father’s eyes the torment of a man who for 15 years has suffered heart’s greatest sorrow No picture or sound can convey – the heart wrenching anguish that was evident on this day.

11. A dialogue was finally opened between a father and his long lost son – though it was quite clear that the past could not be undone – it made no sense to carry on the torture for even another rising of the sun. Stay on this slide a little while longer to hear this melody in its entirety to realize how a life without love and persistence is an empty and obscure life and existence. Dusk was about to set in on the feuds of the past – only a self righteous, conceited fool would let this time for reconciliation pass – If you have ever had a feud for that which you have no remorse, read this story further and perhaps you can alter this unfortunate life course

12. Yes it is true, this young man was once proud and angry and arrogant and blind – though now as he looked into his father’s tear filled eyes – the scene would make even the most haughty fellow change his mind. You cannot change your family at the end of the day – even after 15 years there is nothing contrasting you can say - No anger, no rage, no arrogance or conceit - can change the fact that your family was there at your first heart beat. Take this young man’s story and apply it in kind – for I guarantee you this dear reader – the love of your family - you will never elsewhere find.

13. The sun finally sets on this true story – of a young boy who on his own found his true glory. Though of the glory I speak – is not what others commonly seek – I am ever truthful when I say – the glory of this young man was not found in money or fame or fortune or prize – it was found in the window through his father’s eyes What makes the story ever so sweet and for which this young man prayed - is that a rebirth of love was found on this young man’s, sister’s wedding day. Embrace your family and love them true – for without them dear reader, there is no you - Put the past behind you and carry forth – perhaps this young man’s story can inspire for you toward the same rebirth.

14. Don’t let another day pass with a sorrowful and bleak setting sun – begin a new era of your life today even if before this story you thought this could be something never done. I hope you enjoyed this story. Please share it with whomever you wish. Perhaps some who read this will be inspired to reverse a choice they made once a long time ago. – Merahs Diab
