Father’s Day Poem

Here’s a sweet poem you could also print out and have kids tape or glue to the back side of the “Thankful for You” activity sheet.

My dad is so strong and loving,
he means the world to me.
He’s funny, playful,
and patient as can be.
He makes me laugh and smile,
And he’s always helping me.
That’s why he’s such a good example
of Jesus’ love for me.
