On This Day | We Honor Dad
Author
MinotVoice
He labors hard for you and me.
His shoulders sag with heavy cares;
His wordly goods he gladly shares
That we might all quite happy be.He wears a patch upon his knee
While our own clothes are patches-free.
For all the things he grins and bears
We honor Dad.He towers like a giant tree
That spreads its arm protectingly
He hardly ever puts on airs,
And seldom turns in for repairs,
And so today unstintingly
We honor Dad.— June 18, 1953 | The Ward County Independent
