What is a Dad?

A dad is a person who's loving and kind,

And often he knows what you have on your mind.

He's someone who listens, suggests and defends...

A dad can be one of your very best friends.

He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,

A dad can be patient, helpful and strong.

In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part.

There's always a place for him deep in your heart.

And each year that passes, you're even more glad,

More grateful and proud to call him your dad!

Happy Father's Day
