Dear Friends Welcome

Happy Father's Day to All Fathers

History

How father's day became celebration day?

Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a "father's day." She thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, who was a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. President Richard Nixon signed the law which finally made it permanent in 1972.

Some poems as an example written by me as a tribute to my dad

Dad where ever you are I want you to be very happy.

You are always with me and will be with me

With the wonderful memory of time we spent together.

You were the best dad my best friend and

One person i loved the most in whole wide world.

Dad I miss you and need you but

I am happy knowing that you are and

Will be in some wonderful place

Because you were the best person I ever knew

Sub se pyare hai mere papa Duniya se nyare hai mere papa
Mera garv hai mere papa Mera aadarsh hai mere papa
Lakho ke chahite hai mere papa Kash mere paas hote mere papa
Nahi hote bhi mere dil mei hai mere papa Aur sada mere dil mei rahenge mere papa

Palako pe mujhe jisne bithaya Rajkumari ki tarah jisne mujhe pala
Bachpan mei jisne mujhe sajaya sanwara Apni ankho ka tara jisne mujhe banayaa
Apne dil ki dhadkan jisne mujhe banaya Aise hai mere papa

Apne se vida karke khud roye mujhe rulaya Achachhi insaan banana mujhe sikhaya
Duniya se pyar karna mujhe samjaya Apne aadarsho ko paalna mujhe sikhlaya
Burai ose hamesha ladna mujhe sikhaya Aise hai mere papa

Jisse maine subse jyada pyar kiya Jisse alag hoke kabhi chain nahi paya
Jisko kabhi bhula nahi payi Jisko maine kabhi kabhi sataya
Phir bhi kabhi na Inhone mujhe danta A ise hai mere papa


Sari duniya se pyar kiya Sabko hamesha samman diya
Dukhiyo ki hamesha madad ki Marte marte bhi apni ankhe daan ki
Aur kisi ko drishtivan banaya Aise hai mere papa

Hurry and send in your entries
