FATHERS’
L O V E
By Efabea
Just last month, our mothers were
c e l e b r a t e d e v e r y w h e r e ,
especially from the part of the
world I am writing this piece, all manner of
programs were held to celebrate
mothers. Unfortunately, sometimes
Fathers day is never mentioned. The day
goes quietly without it being noticed. This
th
year, on the 17 of June is fathers day.
Fathers are wonderful people; they first
carry their children as sperm before
transferring to mothers. One cannot deny
the fact that they play an important role in
our lives. God strategically placed the
man as the head and covering of a home.
the provider of the house we call him,
sometimes we expect them to be
magicians. Remember the day you told
him, “ did I ask you to give birth to me”?
please my school fees has to paid”. Do
you also remember when you take more
than necessary from him under the
pretext of buying a book which you never
bought? The pressure both you and your
mum mount on him when you needed
something?
Fathers have been created with a thick
covering like that of the sheep, when they
sweat, they are the only ones who feel,
sometimes mum does not even understand
him. Their ideas, dreams and vision is to see
us become better than themselves. Like
God, you never understand them when they
take a decision, but in the end, you realize it
is the best of decisions they have made.
Like mothers, they also have compassion
and love for their children. Wondering why?,
dad will always say to his friends; “this is my
child”;he is more than proud of you. Most of
the time we take them for granted and feel
our mothers are better than them; with
patience they stay by our side and discipline

become responsible people.
It's worth noting that a day be set aside to
celebrate fathers as well, it is not to say
Whether or not, you impregnate a
woman, once you are caring and
provide and think of making people the
best they can be, you are a wonderful
father. To all fathers all over the world,
well done, we love you and GOD
BLESS AND KEEP YOU.
fathers will not be celebrated on any
th
other day, it is just to say, on the 17
of June, we love you fathers, for your
selflessness, patience, endurance,
tolerance and above all your love.
Though we take you for granted and
sometimes choose our mothers
over you, we appreciate and respect
your role in our lives.
Whether or not, you impregnate a
woman, once you are caring and
provide and think of making people
the best they can be, you are a
wonderful father. To all Fathers all
over the world, well done, we love
you and GOD BLESS AND KEEP
YOU.
