How do you express your appreciation for your dad on Father’s Day? Maricopa columnist Adele shared her tribute to Dad.
By Adele
A Father IS
A bug-killing, heavy totes-lifting,
A booboo-kissing, T-ball-coaching
Dinner, breakfast and lunch-cooking Gift from God.
A Father IS
A college-paying, car-fixing,
Down the aisle-escorting, dance partner-having,
Heart-mending, honor-protecting gift from God.

A Father IS
An embarrassment-shaming, hero in the making,
A sometimes angry with you, but never disappointed in you
An all things loving and yes even a mistake making Gift from God.

A Father IS
Tough disciplinary, but a gentle pushover,
Strong on the outside, yet soft on the inside,
Not a mother, but just as needed, Gift from God.

A Father IS YOU!!!
I Love You Dad,
Happy Father’s Day
