Unit 8. Celebrations

to our class!
Pa Pa
Everyday my papa would work
to help to make ends meet
To see that we would eat
Keep those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa
would take
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all the prayers were said
Growing up with him was easy
Time just flew on by
The years began to fly
He aged and so did I
I could tell
That mama wasn`t well
Papa knew and deep down
so did she so did she
When she died
My papa broke down and cried
All he said was, "God, why not take me?"


Every night he sat there sleeping
In his rocking chair
He never went upstairs
All because she wasn`t there
Then one day my papa said,
"Son, I`m proud the way you`ve grown.
Make it on your own. Oh, I`ll be O.K. alone."
Every time I kiss my children
Papa`s words ring true
"Your children live through you.
They`ll grow and leave you, too"
I remember every word
My papa used to say
I live them everyday
He taught me well that way
Every night my papa would take
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
When my prayers were said
Every night my papa would take
And tuck me in my bed .....

Dear Linh, 17th March, 2011.
I am writing to tell you that we should celebrate days for our parents. In my opinion, it is necessary to have days to celebrate for our parents. Children will have a special day to express their feelings, memories and love for their parents.
I think first Sunday of May is suitable to celebrate our Mother’s Day and first Sunday of June is for our Father’s Day. Sunday is a day off so everyone is free from work or study. It is a good idea to have lunch or dinner with all members of the family. We should give our parents some flowers, send them cards, or bring them a special cake.
I believe our ideas will be supported and I hope the day will be celebrated nationwide because everyone loves their parents.
Best wishes.
