\"\"<\/a>With baby\u2019s cry a Father is born<\/p>\n

From darkest sky to early morn<\/p>\n

He takes his turn to guide, to teach<\/p>\n

Protecting babe from danger\u2019s reach<\/p>\n

With strength and wisdom on his side<\/p>\n

His love is deep, his knowledge wide<\/p>\n

Rough and tumble, strong and true<\/p>\n

Inspiring strength in all you do<\/p>\n

When chips are down and times are tough<\/p>\n

He\u2019s always there to hear your \u201cstuff\u201d<\/p>\n

So thank him on this lovely day<\/p>\n

For setting the course and lighting the way\u2026<\/p>\n

I want to wish a very special \u201cHappy Father\u2019s Day\u201d to my Dad, my father-in-law and my husband.\u00a0 You are all amazing men who lead by example and love unconditionally.\u00a0 I am grateful for the role you have played in my life and in the lives of my boys.<\/p>\n

Happy Weekend!<\/p>\n
