What is a Father? (Poems)

What is a Father?

A Father is a helping hand
To lift you when you fall.
A Father is a caring heart
That hears you when you call.
A Father is a loving arm
That comforts all your tears
A Father is a Shining Knight
That takes away your fears.
A Father loves you stanchly
No matter what you’ve done
A Father has a ready laugh
He knows how to have some fun.
A Father stands beside you
Through good times and through bad
He daily earns the title
When he’s lovingly called Dad.

What Makes A Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad

A HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

Thank you father!
Every child utters these words whenever her/she receives something he/she wanted. Most of the times father is all in all. He is the saviour, friend, philosopher and guide. He often he knows
what you have on your mind. He’s someone who listens, suggests, and defends. He’s proud of your triumphs,but when things go wrong, he can be patient, helpful and strong.
What is Father’s Day ?
Every 3rd Sunday of June is declared the national Father’s Day in America. Sonora Smart Dodd of Washington State proposed the idea of the "Father’s Day" in 1909 to honor her father, William Smart. Mr. Smart, a Civil War veteran, raised his 6 children (including Sonora) by himself on a rural farm in Eastern Washington State after his wife (Sonora’s mother) died in childbirth with their 6th child.
The first Father’s Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington. At about the same time in various towns and cities across USA, the other people began to celebrate the Father’s Day. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day, but it took many years until 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson finally signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of every June.
Father’s Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all be honored on Father’s Day.
Come on friends, let’s celebrate our Father’s Day by doing something that brings smile on his face, by saying that we are with him till the end.
