God took the strength of a mountain
The majesty of a
tree
The warmth of the summer sun
The calm and quietness of sea
The Generous soul of nature
The comforting arm of night
The wisdom of the ages
The power of the eagle's flight
The gay of a morning spring
The faith of a mustard
seed
The patience of
eternity
The depth of a family need
The God then combined these
qualities
When there was nothing more to
add
The God knows that his masterpiece was completed
And so he named it
" Dad"

What thought hits your mind when you hear the word " father"?

Love,
Care,
Protection,
Shelter,
Strength?

Our father is someone we should be thankful for having as a person in our lives who loves us and cares for us like no other would.
He is someone, who almost, all of us can say is behind all our successes and achievements.He is with us to share our joys and sorrows, to guide us through life and lead us on the path of self-enrichment.
He is there for us whenever we need him, provides for all our necessities and luxuries within his means, and even goes an extra miles to give us what we truly deserve.
His just being there to understand our ambitions is enough to give us the courage to pursue our goals.

" Try to be like your father in some points , you will have acquired a great deal.
- Victoria, Queen of England

A father is someone who works all day long to provide his children with all their needs and make them smile as it's the only thing in the world which means to him the most.
Fathers are so important. Some of you may not realize it now but in later life, you would definitely say that whatever you have achieved it is largely because of your father.
If he had not supported you, you might not have been able to gain what you have in life.

Today is Father's Day, not just a common day of celebration, but a day tob e thankful to our father's for loving us immensely and by being there our sides to hold us when we are about to fall, ride us on his back just to let us watch the lights of the world as we cant manage to enjoy the views on our little weak legs. Working hard all day long to fulfill all our dreams and buy us whatever we ask for.

" It doesn't matter who my father was, it matters who I remember he was."
-
Anne Sexton

" I don't think of any need in childhood as strong as the need of a father's protection".
- Sigmund Freud

History Of Father's Day

Father's Day is primarily a holiday inaugurated in the early 20th century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and parenting by males, and to honour ad commemorate fathers and grandfathers.

The idea of creating a day for children to honour their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.

Having been raised by her father, William Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifises 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 June 19, 1910.

President Calvin Coolidge in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father's Day .In 1926, a national Father's Day Commitee was formed in New York City . Father's Day was recognized by a Joint Resolution of Congress in 1956. In 1972, President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the thrid Sunday of June.

So Father's Day was born in recognition of the gratitude of a daughter who thought that her father and all good fathers should be honoured with a special day just like we honour our mothers on Mother's Day.

When i was young, you helped me grow,
and taught me all,i had to know
With love and care and trust and hope,
and everything it takes to cope.

Whatever you said,i did hear,
because you were always quite clear.

What do you think is something that make you feel proud of your father?

Ever since I can remember
You have been the one
who picked me up when i would fall
lift me up when i was down
You are the one who
wiped away the tears
And made a smile magically appear.
You are the one who
loved me no matter what I did
And you are the one who
helped me to be what i am today

How can I ever tell you
how very much I love



How do you and your family

here are some poem that i wnat to share with all of you

* Daddy, I love you
For all that you do.
I'll kiss you and hug you
'Cause you love me, too.

*You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile 'cause I love you
On this Father's Day.

* I just want you to know
you mean the world to me,
Only a heart as dear as yours
would give so unselfishly.

The many things you've done,
all the times that you were there,
helps me know deep inside
how much you really care.

Even though I might not say,
I appreciate all you do,
Richly blessed is how we feel
having a father just like you

😊

Why do you think your father is special?My father is a very special person in my life because there are some things that only a father can do that a mother CANNOT do....such as protect their darling daughters from the clutches of the world....I love my daddy....his muscles....his every moves makes me' fida'😳😳
What act of your father you love the most?Every single morning my father wakes up {@6:00am in the morning!!} first of all,which I think is a major achievement in itself...because most children's parents usually wake up @9:oo am...but my daddy,he even does it on the weekends....when he comes home around 12:30 am in the morning👏And,he makes the most delicious omelette's a father can make...what more can a girl want?😕
What do you think is something that make you feel proud of your father?I'm actually very,very proud of both my father and my mother because there's something totally coincidental about the two of them😆My mother was a twelfth grade chemistry teacher and my father a twelfth grade mathematics teacher.....isn't it too weird,right?😆😆
How do you and your family celebrates Father's Day and makes your Dad feel special?We don't necessarily gift him w/ anything because he's worked so hard and doesn't want all that money to go to waste😭😭So,instead we take him out to dinner to a very elegant restaurant...somewhere where we wouldn't go on a regular occasion😊
Is your Dad, your inspiration? and why?YES!!He's so much of an inspiration to me...it's not even funny😃I love him because of the motivational things he says to me...."never give up","always try your best","nothing is impossible"....etc.,etc.


But,the sad thing is....my dad doesn't even know all of this....I'm very sad right now😭
