Father's Day Poems
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.

1. Silent, Strong Dad
He never looks for praises.
He's never one to boast.
He just goes on quietly working
For those he loves the most.
His dreams are seldom spoken.
His wants are very few,
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken, too.
He's there...a firm foundation
Through all our storms of life,
A sturdy hand to hold onto
In times of stress and strife.
A true friend we can turn to
When times are good or bad.
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we call Dad.

2. Dad, What's It Like In Heaven?
Father's Day In HeavenIf time exists in heaven,
Do you still rise with the sun?
Do you and Mom share breakfast
Before your day has begun?
Can the heavens hear your laughter
As you sit and reminisce
About the time we had together
And other people that you miss?
And Daddy, do you still take walks
Along heaven's seas?
And when you gaze upon the surf,
Do you remember walks with me?
Are your standing with those brave young men
Upon its perfect shores?
Finally by their sides again,
Your comrades from the war.
Do you gather with your family
Beneath heaven's glow?
And gaze upon those mountains still
That once you called your home.
Is music all around you,
All those songs you held so dear?
Do you and Mom still sing together,
The way you did when you were here?
Do you ever have long talks with God
About those left behind?
Do you tell him all the stories
Of all our grand and treasured times?
I think that heaven must be grateful
To have you there each day,
To bring your easy laughter
And your silly sense of play.
And I'm sure that God already knows
The special father you had been
And how I wish that you were here
To guide my way again.
But I carry you inside my heart.
You are never far from me.
I see you in my smile
And in who I grew to be.
And I'm sure that on this Father's Day
God will help you celebrate
All those dads who changed the world with love.
What a party that will make!Latest Shared StoryThis is a wonderful sentimental poem. It depicts a loving relationship between father and child. My father came into my life as an adult and unfortunately we did not get to make many...

3. My Dad
Loving Father Poem From DaughterIf I could write a story,
It would be the greatest ever told.
I'd write about my daddy,
For he had a heart of gold.
My dad, he was no hero
Known around this world.
He was everything to me,
For I was his baby girl.
I'd write about the lessons.
He taught me right from wrong.
He instilled in me the values
That one day I'd be strong.
He taught me to face my fears,
Take each day as it comes,
For there are things that we can't change.
He would say what's done is done.
He would say hold your head up high,
Carry yourself with pride.
Thanks to him, I am somebody,
I will never run and hide.
If I could write a story,
It would be the greatest ever told.
I'd write about my daddy,
For he had a heart of gold.

4. My Dad
Poem For Dad In HeavenI know this man
Who is dear to my heart.
Suddenly one day
It was torn all apart.
This man taught me everything
That I needed to know,
But I never really listened
Until he had to go.
He gave me love
And touched my life.
It's all over now;
He no longer has to fight.
He tried to teach me
Right from wrong.
The day he left
I wasn't that strong.
He is gone now,
It is hard to believe.
This man is my dad
Whom I will never see.
But I will see him again,
This I know.

When it's time for me to go.
So, I'll hold him dear
And close to my heart
'Cause the day we meet
I know we'll never be torn apart.Latest Shared StoryWhen I lost my dad to suicide, I read this poem to my family. I then decided that I wanted to share this with our close family at his service. Any day when I really miss him and when it's...

5. Wish You Were Here
Missing My DadThree months have passed.
I'll never forget the day
Someone rang to tell me
That you'd gone away.
The hurt is the same,
Like an open wound.
There are days
I don't utter a sound.
Some days the pain is stronger.
It makes me sick and weak.
I can't stand this much longer.
I just sit here and weep.
I've shut my private door
And let no one in,
Locking myself in a box.
They try, but I won't give in.
You were like a rock,
Strong, faithful and true.
What worth has my life
Now that I don't have you?
I was your first born,
Daddy's little girl.
I took my own path
But was still part of your world.
I was not the best,
Guilty of neglect,
But you know, Daddy dearest,
I had so much respect.
I always loved you,
My dad, my star.
Now my pain is
To worship you from afar.
I love you now
As I did back then.
I just hope... one day
I will see you again.
I am so proud of you,
Brave and strong to the end.
Now when asked, "How are you?"
There is no need to pretend.
We all love and miss you so much; sleep well,
and take care of all who went before you.
Forever in my heart!Latest Shared StoryAbout two months ago I lost my father. I cannot say that it was unexpected, yet now I realize that there is nothing in life that can prepare us to bear this void. He remained in the intensive...

7. Memories Of My Dad
Poem About Dad Being A HeroHe wasn't a hero
Known by the world,
But a hero he was
To his little girl.
My daddy was a god
Who knew all things.
And better than Santa,
With the gifts he'd bring.
I knew his voice
Before I could speak
And loved it when
He would sing me to sleep.
He changed my diapers
And sat up all night
When my body was weak
And I'd put up a fight.
He'd come home late
With not much to say
And made us all kneel
As he taught me to pray.
He taught me life's lessons
Of right from wrong
And instilled in me values
That I might be strong.
And so through the years,
Like a hero he stood.
Working to give
All that he could.
His presence was important,
And we loved to see him smile,
For no one in the world
Could emulate his style.
And so, dear Dad,
My best memory to recall
Is the gift of your presence,
The greatest gift of all. Latest Shared StoryAwesome appreciation and wonderful thanksgiving to a father. No love and care can be compared with that of a father. My dad, too, is my friend and guide who always remains beside me and helps...

8. Father
Rhyming Father's Day PoemWhen I scratched my knee,
Or if I bumped my head,
When I was afraid of the dark,
Or that thing under my bed,
When I cried in the night,
Or even in the day,
You were there for me
To make it all okay.
You tickled my feet
And laughed at all my jokes.
You taught me to believe
In having high hopes.
You are my father.
You did what you had to do,
But more than a father
You are my friend, too.
You made everything good
That was once bad.
I just want you to know
I love you, Dad.Latest Shared StoryDear Dad, I want you to know I love you so much. What an amazing poem. I love everything you do for all of us. Love, Bella

I felt the love and tenderness,
keeping me safe from harm.

11. My Miracle Dad
I know that I'm not perfect, and I'm sure you know that too,
But it means the world to know that I can always talk to you.
I am sure you didn't expect all this when you took me in to stay.
But you still loved me enough that you did it anyway.
You always seemed so calm, when deep down you were so scared,
And no matter how serious it was, you always seemed prepared.
I know I'm lucky to have you here, after all that you've been through,
And no matter what just happened, I can always say I love you.

And I'll love you until the day I die, because you are my miracle dad! -

16. Open Arms
My Father And MeYou're the one with open arms
When the darkness closes in.
When the shadows come and the nightmares make it hard to sleep,
You're always there to chase them all away.
You were there with every skinned knee and every time I cried.
When I messed up, you were there to show me what I did wrong.

I waited patiently at the window for my daddy to arrive.
As I got older and wanted different things,
The one thing that never changed
Was running into my daddy's arms. -
