WHAT IS A FATHER?
A father is someone that holds your hand at the fair,
makes you do what your mother says, holds back
your hair when you are sick, brushes your hair when it
is tangled because mother is too busy, lets you eat ice-
cream for breakfast but only when mother is away,
he walks you down the aisle and tells you everythings
gonna be ok!
A father is someone who holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules, shines with
pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even
when you fail.
The greatest thing a father can do to his children,
is to love their mother.
It is easier for a father to have children than for
children to have a real father.
My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could
give another person – he believed in me.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
