We can thank them with our words.
We can thank them with our actions.
We can make them a thank-you card.
We can write them a thank-you letter.
We can do so much more …
Our parents are very important in our lives. Let’s explore how people around the world show their love for their parents.
My dad
by Mary
He comes home, has a shower,
And eats dinner, every day.
Now he’s sitting in his favourite chair
Too tired to laugh or play.
He reads online news and articles
To learn what’s new today.
And very soon, he’ll go to bed.
He’s a boring man, my dad.
Then I see him working,
On the building site.
He’s high up in the clouds
Higher than a kite.
He’s walking on a narrow plank
Not worried about the height,
Not afraid, not afraid like me.
My dad’s a superman, you see!
