Dear Dad,

Because you learned
Because you shared
Because you gave
Because you felt
Because you dreamed
so do I.

Because you loved me
Because you wished for me
Because you honored me
Because you saw me
Because you believed in me
so do I.

Because you are strong
Because you are proud
Because you are love
Because you are accepting
Because you are grace
so am I.

Because of you, I am me.

To Poppy, I love you and I miss you. Happy Father's Day.

Flag Meaning:

The colored stripes on the Ethiopian flag are significant - the red stripe stands for power, faith and blood; the yellow symbolizes peace, natural wealth and love; and the green represents the land and hope. The colors were also interpreted to have a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces of Ethiopia. The star represents unity of the people and the races that make up Ethiopia. The five rays on the outside of the star represent prosperity and the blue disk represents peace.
The three equal horizontal bands of green (top), yellow, and red with a yellow pentagram and single yellow rays emanating from the angles between the points on a light blue disk centered on the three bands; Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa, and the three main colors of her flag were so often adopted by other African countries upon independence that they became known as the pan-African colors.
