Happy Father's Day

Updated: Jun 20, 2020

His hands are callused and worn.

He works hard from sun up to sun down.

And at the end of his toilsome day,

A smile on his face is found.

All the sweat that beads on his brow,

Each drop that runs down his face.

He has made it through another day,

By God's amazing grace.

He comes home to his family,

At the end of his wearied day.

And as they gather around the table,

He bows his head and prays.

"Thank you Lord for this day",

And all the blessing set before me





"Thank you for my wife and my children",

And for another day as a family.

For the strength to make each day,

To work, to sweat and to bleed,

And for Your amazing grace,

Helping me provide for my family."

He lifts his head with an Amen,

Looks at his family gathered around.

And as they settle in for the night,

A smile on his face is found.


Fathers are wonderful people

too little understood.

And we do not sing their praises so often

as we should...

For somehow a father seems to be the man who pays bills,

While mothers binds little hurts and nurses all our ills.


And a Father struggles daily to live up to his image

As a protector,a provider and hero of the scrimmage..

And perhaps that is the reason we sometimes

get the notion that Fathers are not subject to

thing we call emotion.


But if look deep inside dad's heart

where no one else can see ,

You'll find he's sentimental and as soft

as he can be ..

But he is busy everyday in the grueling

race of life ,he leaves the sentimental

to his partner and wife..


But Fathers are just wonderful in a

million different ways,

And they merit loving compliments and

accolades of praise ..


For the only reason Dad aspires to

Fortune and Success

Is to make the family proud of him

and bring them happiness...


And like our heavenly Father

he's a guardian and guide

Someone that we can count on to

be always on our side.


Happy Father's day to all the wonderful responsible dads we salute you and honour you.
