Happy Father's Day, Dad

Virginia Gaces
It's Father's day once more.

I'm glad you're still a'fore.

I stare at you amazed,

At how you still have grace.

A tot I was - agog.

With little things, like dogs.

You taught me how to care,

To be upright and fair.

When I was in my teens,

you preen smartly my jeans.

The boys respected you.

and, I myself have too.

Now that I'm a grown up.

You're still my star atop.

You'll always be my man.

Dad, I love you, I contend.

    Yes, it is still several days to go, but everyday should be father's day.

    Any dad would have been proud to have a daughter who says "I love you" to him even only on Father's day. I'd say thank you if you were my daughter.

    I would have said too early for father's day, but why wait? Everyday is a good opportunity to express our love for our father (and mother too)

    nice poem ;)
