Ode to Fathers

On this special Father's Day.

We pause to reflect and say,

Thank you for the love you share,

For always showing that you care.

For guiding us through thick and thin,

With strength and patience from within,

For the wisdom in your gentle voice,

And the way you help us make each choice.

For the laughter and the lessons taught,

For the battles you have bravely fought,

Thank you, fathers, for all you do,

Our lives are richer because of you.

So here's to you, with love and cheer,

Not just today, but all the year,

For every hug, and every smile,

Thank you, fathers, all the while.
