Every day the whole year through, <br />I feel grateful you are my father. <br />Some fathers dont have time for their kids, <br />But for you I am never a bother. <br /> <br />You always make the effort to listen and share; <br />You are always there when you are needed. <br />It warms me to know how much you care, <br />And with that knowledge my worries are defeated. <br /> <br />Dad, you are truly admired and adored, <br />And as your daughter, I hope that you know, <br />These sentiments fill me each day of the year, <br />And my love for you continues to grow. <br /> <br />Today I wish you much pleasure and joy; <br />I hope all of your wishes come true. <br />May each hour and minute be filled with delight, <br />And your birthday be perfect for you!<br /><br />Arfa Karim<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-birthday-dad/
