Cynthia BuhainBaello (November 17,1949 / Manila, Philippines)

Be happy, fathers - on your day!
Like captains of the ship
Your homes you hold at bay
Anchored on the mateship
Of Love and oneness bound
Where cords of strength accrue
On what in you can be found -
A steward faithful and true.

Be happy, fathers - enjoy life!
Your children are given treasures
So be blessed with your loving wife
For together with them you endure
And when all else seem dark and lost
Hold on, as a father, be strong!
For the One Who made you knows the cost
He is with you as you journey along.
