Although my Dad is sadly no longer with us, I wanted to write a little poem as my tribute to him, and all the other lovely dads on Father’s Day.

A Dad is always there for you

To protect, and keep you from harm

A Dad is there to dry your tears

And hold you in his arms.

A Dad is there to help you

When you wobble on your bike

As well as vet your partners

None of whom he likes!

A Dad loves to take his kids out

To the park or perhaps the beach

He is there to remove the spider

That has made you scream and screech!

A Dad is very precious

In so many different ways

Treasure each and every moment

Not just on Father’s Day
