Poems Celebrating Dad and Father's Day

Father's Day is not as respected and popularly observed as Mother's Day. There is a simple reason for this. Although almost everyone has difficult issues with their mothers, there is no doubt as to their mother's love. The same is not true for fathers. Because men have a more difficult time expressing their feelings to their children, many children go through life with the mistaken notion that their fathers don't love them. This is a tragedy because fathers generally love their children dearly and often work long hours so that they can raise their children in comfort.

    • Published: November 2006 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.

    He never looks for praises.
    He's never one to boast.
    He just goes on quietly working
    For those he loves the most.

  17. 15. In Her Eyes

    • By Michelle W. Emerson
    • Published: April 2006 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.

    The depth of a father's love shows in his daughter's eyes.
    What's known is what's shown from sunset to sunrise.
    A foundation built on more than just what is spoken.
    It's commitments kept and promises that go unbroken.
