   Father’s Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. In fact when a “father’s day” was first proposed there were no Father’s Day cards!

    父亲节与普遍的误解不同的是，它并非是一个为了帮助贺卡制作厂商销售更多贺卡的节日。事实上，当“父亲节”的提议首先被提出时，父亲节贺卡根本就不存在。

    Mrs. John B Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a “father’s day” in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father William, whose wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.

    华盛顿州的约翰·布鲁斯·多德夫人在1909年首先提出了设立“父亲节”的提议。多德夫人希望有一个特殊的日子来向她的父亲———威廉·斯玛特表示敬意。他的妻子在生他们第六个孩子时因难产而死。斯玛特先生在华盛顿州东部乡下的农场里独自养大了六个孩子。多德太太成人后她才意识到她的父亲一个人养大孩子所表现的力量和无私。

    The first Father’s Day was observed on June 19,1910 in Washington. And it was in 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson officially declared the 3rd Sunday of June as Father’s Day.

    1910年的6月19日人们在华盛顿庆祝了第一个父亲节。林登·约翰逊总统最终于1966年宣布每年六月的第3个星期天为父亲节。

    Father’s Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father’s Day.

    父亲节现在已经成为向父亲及所有扮演父亲角色的人表达敬意的节日。继父，伯父，祖父所有成年男性都将在父亲节受到尊敬。

  QUOTES ABOUT DAD


"A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again." -- Enid Bagnold


"None of you can ever be proud enough of being the child of SUCH a Father who has not his equal in this world-so great, so good, so faultless. Try, all of you, to follow in his footsteps and don't be discouraged, for to be really in everything like him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to be like him in some points, and you will have acquired a great deal." -- Victoria, Queen of England


"That is the thankless position of the father in the family-the provider for all, and the enemy of all." -- J. August Strindberg


"It is a wise father that knows his own child." -- William Shakespeare


"One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters." -- English Proverb


"To be a successful father . . . there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years." -- Ernest Hemingway


"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection." -- Sigmund Freud

Thank you,Dad!

song lyric



butterfly kisses
歌手：funky fleaz     专辑：f f f e  
There\'s two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven, and she is daddy\'s little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night, she talks to Jesus
and I close my eyes and I thank God for all of the joy in my life.
oh but most of all..
..for butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
-Walk beside the pony daddy, it\'s my first ride
-I know the cake looks funny daddy, but I sure tried.
Oh, with all that I\'ve done wrong, I must have done something right
to deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night..
Sweet sixteen today..
she\'s looking like her mama, a little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl..
Funky Fleaz
To perfume and makeup from ribbons and curls.
trying her wings out in great big world
but i remember..
butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
You know how much I love you daddy, but if you don\'t mind
I\'m only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time.
Oh, with all that I\'ve done wrong, I must have done something right
to deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night..
(choir: All the precious time)
Oh, like the wind the years go by
(choir: Precious butterfly, spread your wings and fly)
She\'ll change her name today
Standing in the bride room, just staring at her.
She asks me what I\'m thinking
and I said I\'m not sure
I just feel like I\'m losing my baby girl
she leaned over....
Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there, sticking little white
flowers all up in her hair.
Walk me down the aisle daddy, it\'s about time
does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?
Daddy don\'t cry
Oh, with all that I\'ve done wrong, I must have done something right
to deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses..
I couldn\'t ask God for more, man this is what love is
I know I got to let her go...but I\'ll always remember...
Every hug in the morning.. and butterfly kisses....


My Father\'s Eyes   
歌手：Eric Clapton     专辑：Grammy1999  
《My Father\'s Eyes》

Sung By \"Eric Clapton\"


Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father\'s eyes.
(look in my father\'s eyes)
My father\'s eyes.
When I look in my father\'s eyes.
(look in my father\'s eyes)
My father\'s eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
I hear those ancient lullabys.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I\'ve realized
That\'s when I need them,
That\'s when I need my father\'s eyes.
(look in my father\'s eyes)
My father\'s eyes.
That\'s when I need my father\'s eyes.
(look in my father\'s eyes)
My father\'s eyes.
(Instrumental)
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I\'m like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I\'ve realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father\'s eyes.
(look in my father\'s eyes)
My father\'s eyes.
I looked into my father\'s eyes.
(look in my father\'s eyes)
My father\'s eyes.
My father\'s eyes.
(look in my father\'s eyes)
My father\'s eyes.
I looked into my father\'s eyes.
(look in my father\'s eyes)
My father\'s eyes.
(look in my father\'s eyes...)


The End.
