IV. Suggested writing
In my opinion I think it’s important for us to have a day to celebrate for our parents. It will be a day for us to express our feelings, memories and love for our parents. Family members can have a chance to get together to enhance family traditions. It will be also a day to bring family members closer.
We should celebrate it on the first Sunday in August. Because it’s a day off and everyone is free from work and study. It’s a good idea to have a warmly party with all family members. Our parents should be given some beautiful flowers, greeting cards and special gifts which they like. And they also should be severed the food they like best.
I hope that my idea will be supported and the day will be celebrated nationwide because everybody loves their parents so much and wants their parents to be happy.

MY HERO

As I ponder the love that I saw in his eyes,
A Godly love, given without compromise....
I recall many times that he stood by my side,
And prodded me on with great vigor and pride.
His voice ever confident, firm and yet fair,
Always speaking with patience, tenderness and care.
The power and might of his hands was so sure,
I knew there was nothing we couldn`t endure.
It`s true, a few others provided insight,
Yet, he laid the foundation that kept me upright.
He`s the grandest of men to have lived on this earth,
Although he`s not royal by stature or birth.
He`s a man of great dignity, honor and strength.
His merits are noble, and of admirable length.
He`s far greater than all other men that I know,
He`s my Dad, he`s my mentor, my friend and hero.
