The Beginning of Father's Day
Historians
have recorded that there was a tradition to celebrate Father's Day even
thousands of years ago. Their study say that 4,000 years ago in Babylon a son
called Elmesu carved a father's day message on a clay card. In his message
Elmesu wished his father a long and healthy life. There is no knowledge as to
what happened to this father son duo but it is believed that several countries
retained the custom of celebrating Father's Day.
Poem on Father
DAD,
When i was born,
You were there to catch me when
i fall, whenever and wherever.
When i said my first words,
You were there for me,
To teach me the whole dictionary
if need be.
When i took my first steps,
You were there to encourage me
on.
When i had my first day at
school,
You were there to give me advice
and help me with my homework.
I still haven’t finished school,
Or walked down the aisle, or had
my first child.
But i know you will be there for
me through all these times and more, the good and bad.
