Father is that beacon of light in the family, whose unseen efforts keep the light burning and show the path ahead. His love disciplines you, and his laughter comforts you. His wisdom helps you grow and be independent. He is the anchor until his children find their harbour in life.

“Dear Dad, 

This is for you. Know that you are my first Guru, secret keeper and best friend. Times may have changed, but we all have moved on in our lives. But those moments we shared have helped me find my calling in life. This Father’s Day, we celebrate the spirit of Fatherhood. 

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy.”

You can also write a poem for him and publish it in the local magazine or e-paper dedicated to him.
