Father

Once a year you are honored…

Honored for taking pride
 in your child…

Honored for being at all there 
the sporting events…

Honored for taking interest in 
what we have done…

Once a year is not enough,
 to show how you are my light,
 my guide, my teacher and my
 protector…

But today will express, 
a little of the gratitude even more,
 than each day throughout the year…

Happy Father’s Day Dad!
