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. I Am His Princess
A Daughter's Tribute To Her FatherI have my own castle,
full of love and laughter!
The builder of my castle is a strong MAN
Who loves me first and himself after.
In these 15 years of life
He has never denied my wish.
Always makes sure
My matching footwear with my dress never miss.
He is the richest in the world!
Richest in love and care.
The one I will always trust
Is only papa-- always true and fair.
Bound by his love and trust,
I am maturing.
He makes every moment magic
By his true love and caring!
However I may look,
Short or weak or pale,
People might make fun of me,
But he always loves me the same.
Sometimes I do wonder,
How can a man be so selfless?
But then the answer comes in my heart-
He is a father, with a heart most tender.
His life is full of sacrifice and tension,
A schedule of hard work and struggle.
Still, he never lets us know
Just to see our smiles and giggles!
No matter if others
Trust me or not,
His blind support is enough
To make me an energy bot.
This Father's Day,
Thought to gift him a bundle of words.
To the world's best father,
This is the tribute I pay! -

3. 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...

4. 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.
When you went to work in your big truck,
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. -
5. Through Rain, Through Shine
Concrete Poem A Metaphor For Supportive DadA
Grand oak
A majestic figure
Always standing straight
Shielding the children from heat
Watching baby squirrels as they play
Giving bugs and mushrooms a home to live
Smiling as generations of friends lean by its side
An umbrella for the park bunnies when storms come
Even if the sun does not rise tomorrow, it will be there, just like

6. To My Husband On Father's Day
I can't call you my Father,
And you're certainly not my Pop.
I wouldn't call you PaPa
Because to me you're certainly not.
I can't call you my Pappy,
Nor could I call you Dad.
You're definitely not my Daddy.
One of these I already have,
But I can call you Honey.
My best friend I have in you.
A loving caring husband,
A gent who's kind and true,
My guy of tender gentle words
You place within my heart.
The one who's strong and steady
And has been from the start,
A man that's more appreciated
More than I can ever say.
I'm saying this to wish you
A special Father's Day! -
7. Fatherhood Is God's Idea
Honoring FatherhoodThanks be unto God the Father
for His great work in creating man.
God decided to reproduce Himself,
So He formed man with His hand.
God crowned man with His glory
and gave him dominion over the earth.
He made man a little lower than the angels
and honored him with great worth.
God endowed man with wisdom
so great things he would be able to do.
He made him in the likeness of Himself
so man could become a father too.
Creating man was God's best work.
He gave him authority and great might
to provide for the needs of his family
and courage to face the darkest night.
We honor God for His creation
and for making man His masterpiece.
He is to be an extension of Christ Jesus
so God's kingdom work will not cease.
So we salute fatherhood everywhere.
It is the highest position in the land.
It's no greater honor than being called dad
and no greater foundation on which to stand. -
8. Father Like Care
Your and mommy's love together had resulted into me
All your traits are reflecting in my body if you carefully see
Had you not supported throughout life would be nightmare
No one in this world will give you a father like care
You always wanted me to get better success and health
For that you were ever ready to dole out your full wealth
My pain was your pain and laughter was your laughter
I promise when you will need me most I'll also look after. -
9. Celebrating Fathers
Father's Day Acrostic PoemFathers are fun - and serious too!
And you learn more from them than you do at school.
Think of all the good times you've had.
How would it be without your dad?
Everything would be harder with no mentor for growth.
Reflect on the man who loves you the most.
Soon will come the day for you to fill his shoes.
Do you think your dad would accept an excuse?
Always try your best, that's what he would say.
Yes, think of your dad on this Father's Day! -
10. My Father, My Friend
Appreciation For DadFor my father, my friend,
This to me you have always been.
Through the good times and the bad,
Your understanding I have had.
A gentle man at heart,
This sets you apart
From the others I've seen.
You mean so much to me.
The laughter we have shared
Cannot be compared.
The tears I have shed,
As you lovingly nodded your head.
You have always been there,
With a smile and a hug,
A precious gift from our God up above.
The times that I have been down and sad,
Your silly ways could always make me glad.
You gave me strength to carry on,
Even when all hope seemed to be gone.
The lessons in life that I have learned
Are from your genuine love and concern.
With deep appreciation for all you have done.
You, Dad,
Are my number one.
With all my love, Your Daughter, Your Friend

11. 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.

12. Father's Day In Heaven
Poem About Love For A Deceased FatherI love you and I miss you, Dad,
and though you've passed away,
you'll never be forgotten,
for I think of you each day.
If heaven celebrates this day
how special it will be.
A gathering of the many dads

13. My Father's Love
Father's Day Poem To A Single Dad From His DaughterMy father's love never places judgment on me,
his love comes unconditional and unselfishly.
For all the things you've done to show how much you care,
always remains as a reminder that you will always be there.
I'll never forget the affection you have shown in so many ways,
faithful to me, as a father you have never missed a day.
The way you look at me with that twinkle in your eye,
no matter my situation lets me know I'll be alright.
You have taught me the difference between right and wrong,
and as I became a woman, you taught me to be strong.
I'll always be grateful for you being there through my struggles and my strife,
because of your encouragement, you taught me the meaning of life.
Now you raise my little sister who is so close to your heart,
another little girl from whom her father she can't stand to part.
As she's just a baby now I watch you teach her as she grows,
and I sit back and I smile because one day she will know,
This special man who she calls dad is the one person who will be there when she's happy or she's sad.
When she is grown there will be no doubt in her mind,
of the father she loved who never left her behind.
Each day as you look in the mirror, I pray that you see,
there is no one in the world who will ever mean more to my sister and me.
Latest Shared StoryI am so glad to have stumbled upon this poem. In my moment of grief, this has given me the strength to strive to be a dad like this for my two daughters. Many thanks and much love.

15. The Gift Of My Father
Poem For A Father's Day CardBurdens carried with strength unsung
Laboring at labor until the labor is done
Persistence unyielding
Protection and shielding
These are the gifts of my father
Listening, absorbing
Cautioning, uplifting
Strong and steady
With faith at the ready
These too are the gifts of my father
Figuratively you hold the ladder
While I climb
Holding me steady with investment
Of wisdom and time
I want to say thank you for the role model you've been
And tell you with joyful heart
"You are a gift to me, Father." -
16. My Daddy
Father's Day Poems From DaughterA daddy is a special man
In which all things abound
Showing care and passion
And love to all around
I shall treasure all the sleepless nights
And sacrifices made
All because you loved me
Through the problems that I gave
Doing little special things
Memories
All for me
Your eyes they tell the story
When you speak of me
Your hands that once were strong and firm
Now softened with the age
But you're still my daddy
And never would I trade
Smiles and hugs and kisses
As I sat there on your knee
From childhood to the woman
Who before you
Now you see
I have locked away those precious times
They are mine
For me to see
I keep them all within my heart
Take them everywhere with me
My love for you
Is just as strong
As the one when I was three
And I know this kind of special bond
Was meant for you and me
I hope that you will see it now
You're in my thoughts each day
I'm so glad you are my daddy
And happy Father's DayLatest Shared StoryI was really touched by this poem, and it has encouraged me to write my own poem for my dad. Mine tells him that he is very special even when he embarrasses me in front of my friends. I love...

17. What Is A Dad?
Father's Day Poem For An Adopted DadA Dad is patient, helpful, and strong
He is there by your side when things go wrong
He's someone who guides you to do the right thing
And helps you solve problems that life sometimes brings
A Dad is someone who is loving and kind
And usually knows what's going on in your mind
He is someone who listens and makes time to talk
When things are bad he doesn't turn around and walk
He is a strong shoulder when times are tough
And still loves you dearly when he's had enough
He helps you and guides you all that he can,
Wanting nothing more than to make you a man
A Dad's there when you're happy and even more when you're sad
Giving unconditional love whether you're good or you're bad
A Dad is someone that you can also call a friend
Who is there no matter what and will be till the end
They say that blood is thicker than water
But I know this isn't true
Because my son couldn't ask for a better Dad
Than one he has found in you
I think of all the years gone by and wonder
How different things would've been
If his real father put forth the love
That you have shown to him
Happy "Father's" Day, Tommy
Thank you for showing my son what a real father is
And for loving him as much as you do. You will always
Have a special place in my heart and his

18. On This Father
From Husband To DaddyBeing a father to a son,
brings a man's heart so much joy.
You can't imagine your world,
without this wonderful little boy.
Our son has grown so much,
there's no trace of "baby" in his smile.
But the work has just begun, Dad,
time to readjust the dial.
Wrestling in the living room
makes him feel big and strong.
Giving him the confidence to make decisions;
hopefully right, sometimes wrong.
From sporting events to his first car;
to dating and a family of his own.
You are the one he will turn to,
The best man he's ever known.
He will watch your every move,
so guide him the best you can;
Cause only a Daddy can teach his son
how to become a man.
I prayed no other woman
would come along and steal your heart;
but from the moment we heard, "it's a girl"
I knew she would have you from the start.
A little girl needs her Daddy
to love her with gentlemanly charm.
To hold her tightly when she is afraid;
and keep her safe from harm.
From pigtails and bubblegum,
to lipstick and high heels;
Help her mend a broken heart,
teach her that true love is real.
Dance with her in the living room,
just to see her twirl.
Know there is no love that equals that of
Daddy's Little Girl.
She will grow to be a woman,
with irresistible charm and grace;
But right now take each special moment
and treasure her sweet face.
I stood and made a promise
to love you come what may;
and watching you turn from husband to Daddy,
makes that love grow more each day!

19. Man Of The Year
Father's Day Poem For Husband From WifeYou've been in our lives for so many seasons.

He gave you the strength to father a child,
And even when we don't know what to say,
Your wisdom consistently saves the day.

YOU'RE THE BEST HUSBAND AND DAD
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
