The History of Father's Day ...why you are seeking a Father's Day Card Poem Verse or Quote

Father's Day was the brainchild of Sonora Louise Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington. She heard a Mother's Day sermon in 1908 and thought of her father William Smart who had raised, along with her, at 16, her 6 younger brothers, following the death of her mother giving birth to the last child. The first Father's Day was celebrated June 19, 1910 in Spokane and the very slow wheels of government started turning...for 60 plus years...when in 1972 President Nixon determined that nationally it should be the third Sunday in June. It is now that date in many parts of the World but not all ...see below

(Mrs Dodd hung on until her "baby" was official and died in 1978 aged 96)

D.I.Y. VERSES..POEMS

Some useful rhyming words for Dad

mad, bad, lad, glad, sad, had

example template

You were always there as I grew up
________2nd line_____________
________ 3rd line ____________
I'm so proud that you're my Dad

Suggested second lines

You taught me good from bad
Through the good times and the bad
Through the happy times, and sad
And even though you're barking mad
And, as you know, I was a bit of a lad
And sometimes you got hopping mad
And I'm so very glad
What great taste, my Mum had

The third line doesn't need to rhyme so can be anything

eg:-
You were my rock to lean on
It's no wonder that I love you
And completely off your trolley
In the lottery of life, I got the best
You're the very bestest in the world
So, Mr. (John William Smith) of ( Consett)
She chose you for a husband

So, picking and mixing, you can have, for example:-

You were always there as I grew up
You taught me good from bad
You were my rock to lean on
I'm so proud that you're my Dad

or

You were always there as I grew up
And even though you're barking mad
And completely off your trolley
I'm so proud that you're my Dad

Another useful template for Fathers Day is

____any first line____
This card is sent to say
____any third line___
On this your special day

So, for example:-

Dad, you're my Superhero
This card is sent to say
Go to the pub and sup some ale
On your very special day

or

Dad, you need to relax, you're looking stressed
So this card is sent to say
I'll try to get out of the house for a while
To help you enjoy your day

or

Grandfather, Grandpappy, Gramps or Grandpa
This card is sent to say
Whatever the word, you're the best, Grandad
Enjoy your special day
