Sample 1: To the Father
Dear Father, Thank you, Father. For showing the way that I should go, And teaching me things that I should know... For helping me through the ups and downs, And standing by me through smiles and frowns... For being all that a father could be, Thanks–You mean the world to me.

Sample 2: To the Father
Dear Dad, There aren’t enough words to tell you how much you mean to me and how lucky I feel to have a dad like you. You’ve given me so much that I will probably never be able to return, but I will always remember what a loving, caring dad you are. May all the smiles, laughs, love return on this special day and remain for the rest of the year!
