In last month’s issue, we asked kids to write a poem about their dad in honor of Father’s Day. Below, find the winning entries. Sawyer and Sage each receive a $25 gift certificate to Crow Bookshop in Burlington.
Sawyer Willard, 7, Barnet
I like
helping Papa
with sugaring,
And I like
chopping with Papa.
I like playing soccer.
And I like
walking in the woods
with Papa.
I like to check if
the tap lines fell or if
a squirrel chewed
a hole in the tap lines.
I love you!
Sage Norsworthy, 10, Winooski
Kevin
Kind to me and others
Everyday he plays games with me
Very loving
I love to give him hugs
Not an ordinary guy
