Origin
Father's Day is a special day for everyone! We use this day to honor our fathers all over the world! We celebrate this holiday on the third Sunday in June. A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Her father, Henry Jackson Smart, had raised Sonora after her mother died and she wanted him to know how special he was to her. Her father was born in June, so she chose that month to celebrate the new holiday! I hope you enjoy the activities I he here for celebrating Father's Day!

Tears in heen
would you know my name
if i saw you in heen
would it be the same
if i saw you in heen
i must be strong
and carry on
'cos i know i don't belong
here in heen
would you hold my hand
if i saw you in heen
would you help me stand
if i saw you in heen
i'll find my way through night and day
'cos i know i just can't stay
here in heen
time can bring you down
time can bend your knees
time can break your heart
he you begging please
begging please
beyond the door
there's peace i'm sure
and i know
there'll be no more
tears in heen
would you know my name
if i saw you in heen
would it be the same
if i saw you in heen
i must be strong and carry on
'cos i know i don't belong
here in heen
Dads are never gonna set their foot in here, it'd be better to give him a real hug
or a phone call rather than putting the beautiful words on threads that they never can read.
Let 'em know what we are thinking and how we gonna do.
and patty, i'm sure you daddy know what's on your mind, goog luck
My father is 56 years old, there has never been a birthday for him in his life, maybe you’ll think it unbelievable, but that’s true, in our countryside, people don’t celebrate birthday until he’s 60.
Life was tough, but my father was tougher…we four all grow up and take colleague/similar education without any money borrowing. Papa, how great you are! We he never say it out, but we all know that you know we love you! Always…
The way that you worked the soil and made your garden grow.
The beautiful color and fragrance of each rose
caught everyone’s attention, as they would come and go.
The way that you sat so erect on your fine horse
As the two of you rode out on your daily course.
The way that you worked. You had a good business mind,
And how you would try to help others, from time to time.
And even though we would occasionally disagree,
there was one thing that we knew would always
As I ponder the love that I saw in his eyes,
A Godly love, given without compromise....
I recall many times that he stood by my side,
And prodded me on with great vigor and pride.
His voice ever confident, firm and yet fair,
Always speaking with patience, tenderness and care.
The power and might of his hands was so sure,
I knew there was nothing we couldn't endure.
It's true, a few others provided insight,
Yet, he laid the foundation that kept
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
