The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special. The origin of Father's Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father's Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington. The president of the Chicago branch（分部）of the Lions' Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebrated the first Father's Day with his organization in 1915; and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek's own birthday! Regardless of when the first true Father's Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs. Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd felt that she had an outstanding father. He was a veteran of the Civil War. His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother. In 1909, Mrs. Dodd approached her own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father's birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart. States and organizations began lobbying（游说）Congress to declare an annual Father's Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations." Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June. When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical（奇形怪状的，异想天开的）so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad. This is how you would say Happy Father's Day in different languages 1) Spanish - Día de padres feliz 2) Russian - Счастливый день отцов 3) Portugese - Dia de pais feliz 4) Italian - Giorno di padri felice 5) German - Gl¨¹cklicher Vatertag 6) French - Jour de p¨¨res heureux 7) Dutch - De gelukkige Dag van Vaders Collection of father's day poems A Little Girl Needs Daddy A little girl needs Daddy For many, many things: Like holding her high off the ground Where the sunlight sings! Like being the deep music That tells her all is right When she awakens frantic with The terrors of the night. Like being the great mountain That rises in her heart And shows her how she might get home When all else falls apart. Like giving her the love That is her sea and air, So diving deep or soaring high She'll always find him there. The things you taught me The things you taught me I will always know. How could I not? The roots have sunk so deep: All lessons of the heart that I will keep No matter who I am or where I go. Kids learn from what their parents are, and so You are my book of life, the thoughts I reap; Only in your arms I quiet sleep; Under my words your voice sings soft and slow. From you I learned the rules of right and wrong Against which I at times had to rebel, Though with regret I carry with me still. How lucky I am to have been loved so well, Even as I pushed against your will, Relying on a father fair and strong Perhaps we'll never understand each otherPerhaps we'll never understand each other. Loving doesn't mean that we agree. If that were so, then I would say, why bother? But there are things I know I'll never see. I'm sure your heart knows what I don't yet know: The pain of loving a reluctant son; The anger, coming fast and building slow, Of being helpless to control someone. You want only that I grow up right, But you know what right is, and I still don't. I have to learn to wield my inner light, And if I follow yours, well, then I won't. I'm sorry for the anger in the air; Though we fight, my love is always there Happy Father's DayA Dad is a person who is loving and kind, And often he knows what you have on your mind. He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends. A dad can be one of your very best friends! He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong, A dad can be patient and helpful and strong In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part. There's always a place for him deep in your heart. And each year that passes, you're even more glad, More grateful and proud just to call him your dad! Thank you, Dad... for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but, especially, for just being you! Happy Father's Day Fathers can be solitary mountains Fathers can be solitary mountains, All their love rock-like, steep, and strong. Though warm and caring, somehow they belong Halfway home to mothers' bubbling fountains. Each of us needs love that knows no quarter, Reminding us of bonds that cross a border, Strengthening our sense of right and wrong Labor Of Love A ready made family was by chance Inevitable By our labor of love romance A husband, a father, a friend In this great life that has no end 'Tis but a journey; this circle of life The joys of children and of wife With stories told, you watched them play From winters snow to summers day With their coats and trousers hung on a hook Their pockets bulging out fat at the seem A marble, a comb, a map, a pocketbook Shared treasures of a little boys dream The shoes of a Father you do fill Not for fame or fortune; Only your goodwill With guidance and love they see all you do The little child in themselves is in you too As the hours, days, years go by On your loving ways we do rely In this great circle of life A husband, a Father ,A friend Our love for you knows no end. By Julie Atwood Play With Me © 1989 Warren Throckmorton Theres a magic moment sent down from the sky. Descending so stealthily, it almost passes me by. It may be in the morning or the late afternoon, Or sometime after midnight, when the cow jumps over the moon. Come, play with me. Your presence is requested at a banquet for a bear. The giraffe and the tiger insist you be there. Please, hurry daddy, the tea is getting cold. And you are getting old. Come stay with me, play with me, daddy, please. . . She brightens me with sunshine twinkling from her eyes. She captures me with silence and playful long good-byes. Its see you later alligator, after while crocodile. Watch my special cartwheel, lets be buddies for a while. And come, play with me. Your presence is requested at a banquet for a bear. The giraffe and the tiger insist you be there. Please, hurry daddy, the tea is getting cold. And you are getting old. Come stay with me, play with me, daddy, please. . . |
