Happy Father’s Day

It’s Father’s Day
Hoping our Fathers will have their say
About the love he shares
And all the hugs he does care.

Mostly every Saturday morning.
The tall grass needs mowed.
Without been told
It is mowed
The gutter is a clutter
The drain is overflowed
His attention is about growth
and not to procrastinate!
Please have a little Faith
I’m doing the best I can
Yes I can positive thinking
Without any fuss – no blinking!

Dad the garden needs weeding
Oh yes Dear, you I am pleasing
His list is long of do this, do that
We know he is tired but …..
Cup of tea, yes dear and time for a chat
So Today relax, feet up and sit back.

This man with so much on his plate
Lots of Love and blessings he is great
find no time -no reason to procrastinate?
