This Father’s Day, remember that you will always have your dad’s love and protection.
Promises
Dear Daddy,
I’m sorry I did not do what you told me to do.
If I do better
Can I still be your little boy?
Dear Son,
You will be
My little boy
For all of your little-boy days.
And when
You are no longer a little boy
I will still be your daddy.
-David A. Anderson
