Send Your Loving DAD these sms:

A Dad is a person

who is loving and kind,

And often he knows

what you have on your mind.

He's someone who listens,

suggests, and defends

A dad can be one

of your very best friends!

He's proud of your triumphs

but when things go wrong

A dad can be patient

and helpful and strong.

In all that you do,

a dad's love plays a part

There's always a place for him

deep in your heart.

And each year that passes

you're even more glad,

More grateful and proud

just to call him your dad!
