The Dodd House
More than a 100 years ago
A father raised a daughter,
and five siblings there we go
Mother died at childbirth you know
In 1910 the day began then
President Lyndon Johnson,
signed an executive order,
in the 1966 recorder
The third Sunday,
in June be the Forder
1972 American Congress
Richard Nixon passed an act
Fathers Day the third Sunday,
in June was that
The United Kingdom,
by this stage,
was already undertaking,
the Father's Day parade
Now it is a day we all know,
thank you Sonora Smart Dodd,
who was Inspired by a sermon,
on Mother's Day,
Mother love display
Dodd proposed Father's Day,
to local Churches,
Shopkeepers and Government Officials
Gaining their support,
on the Fathers Day tennis court,
for the 19th of June
Which slowly spread around the world
Happy Father's Day,
created by a woman's love at play
