HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!

A father is a teacher,
someone who offers advice
when you need help
but who lets you find
your own path in life

A father is a protector,
someone who wards off
the bedtime monsters
and makes sure his family is safe

A father is a hero,
someone who shows
what it means to care,
and what it means to be strong

But most of all, a father is a friend,
someone to laugh with,
and someone to count on always
