A Poem for Father's Day . . .

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
And 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
Just to call him your dad!
