Birthday Poems & Wishes For Fathers

When I was born
I didn't know much
I was introduced to this world
By your kind words and soft touch

Years passed so quickly
And we were already alike
You were my guide and instructor
When learning to ride a bike

Off to kindergarten
And a tear in your eye
You've always been sensitive
When it comes to goodbyes

It's because of the love
That you hold in your heart
You want me to experience life
But don't like to be apart

So off I went
Adventuring alone
Learning new things
Experiencing life on my own

Hasn't always been easy
That, I am aware
But one thing's for sure
You are always there

You've helped me see
The woman I can become
You've always had faith in me
Even when I had none

It's that unconditional love
That helped me get through
I wish all little girls' daddies
Could be as great as you

If all girls had guidance
And a dad's shoulder to cry
They'd grow up with confidence
And a willingness to try

So I guess what I'm saying
Is thank you, Dad
I'm not sure words can express
The impact you've had

You are my hero
And an inspiration to all
Happy Birthday, Dad
Or Papa Dukes as I call

I Love You Dad (Your 85th birthday gift from me.)

I thank God every day because you are my Dad
When I need you the most,
even with the miles that separate us,
you are always in my Heart.
You have given me so many gifts.
Courage, Strength, Hope, Kindness, and Peace of Mind.
When I did not know what to do next,
you believed in me.
I had your love from the beginning.
Since the moment I was born.
You have always been there for me,
even when you thought you couldn't be.
I can't imagine my life without you Dad.
I know I don't call all the time, and I'm sorry.
I get caught up in life's struggles.
Still remember, you have given me so much joy.
You helped me to see the bigger pictures.
I think every day that if I never see you again
you will know like I do
how much you mean to me.
I am glad God picked you to be my Dad and I Love You.
I remember all the fun we had.
I smile every time I think about the time we have spent together.
You gave me life and you let me live it.
You gave me the push to do things I did not believe I could do.
In my heart I will always be your little girl.
Even as a grown up I can feel the love you have given
to a child, teenager, young mother,
even more as an independent woman.
Thank you Dad,
I am always with you no matter how far or close.

DADDY, I LOVE YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
