Fathers are fun – and serious too!
And you learn more from them than you do at school.
Think of all the good times you’ve had.
How would it be without your dad?
Everything would be harder with no mentor for growth.
Reflect on the man who loves you the most.
Soon will come the day for you to fill his shoes.

Do you think your dad would accept an excuse?
Always try your best, that’s what he would say.
Yes, think of your dad on this Father’s Day!

(In acrostic poems, the first letter of each line spells out a word or phrase.)
