Fathers Day Poems


Daughters, and perhaps sons, on this day

Will be sending gifts in every way

But the gift I give to you

Is not a one for others to view

It's a special gift between you and I

A gift which no one can untie

Father mine, I so love you 

And I think you know that to be true


❤ ❤



Lots of love on your birthday

Are sent in this card in every way

Spend the day doing what you like best

Chilling out and enjoying a well earned rest


❤ ❤


Dad, you are a king of men

I will say it over and over again

No one could be sooo blessed

To have a Dad that towers above the rest

So here's a toast to you today

To a wonderful Dad, Happy Fathers Day


❤ ❤


Mrs Sonora Dodd's mother had died when Sonora was 16 and she helped her dad, William Smart to raise her 6 younger brothers. After Mothers Day was invented in 1909, in testimony to her Dad's child rearing dedication she instigated, in 1914, a Fathers Day event in her local area (Spokane, Washington) The idea slowly...very slowly caught on and became an official national event in 1972 and is now, of course, internationally celebrated

Oh Daddy Dearest you know that you're the one

That took my heart from the very minute I was born

Your darling of a daughter the apple of your eye

Cuddles and hugs and a love that's never worn.

Happy Fathers Day


❤ ❤


All the times I've leant upon

Your shoulder and shed my tears

You've been there for me

No matter what for all these years.


You are wonderful and I hope you know

Just how much I love you;

My respect and honor grows and grows

Just how much I never knew.


Now I'm a Dad myself

Realising all I have to do;

If I can manage just half as much

Just half as much as you.

Thanks Dad-You're Great!!!


❤ ❤


I know how often I took you for granted

When I was growing up back then.

I always assumed you'd be there

When... ... I needed you

And you always were.

But I never really thought about what that meant

Till I got older and began to realise

How much time and energy you spent....

Devoted to me...

So, for all the times I didn't say it before,

Thank you, Dad....I love you so very much...

From your...

...Ever loving daughter (son)

Happy Father's Day, Dad


❤ ❤


Fathers Day Poems


Ever since you've been gone

I've missed you more and more

I didn't realise till your death

That I'd be like you I swore.


I did tell you that I loved you

But not nearly as many as I should;

I miss your hugs and kisses too

If only that I could.


❤ ❤


Any man can be a father

It takes someone special to be a Dad

You're special, Dad


❤ ❤


Daddy, I love you

For all that you do.

I'll kiss you and hug you

'Cause you love me, too.

You feed me and need me

To teach you to play,

So smile 'cause I love you

On this Father's Day.


❤ ❤


You've got to be voted the Dad of the Year

As I believe you are simply the best

I love your kindness and your humor

I think that you deserve a rest.


So today you will be waited on

Put your feet up and just chill;

You can wine and dine at great expense

Provided you pick up the bill


Just kidding


❤ ❤


Thank you, Dad 


Thank you, Dad 

Thanks for loving me.

Hugs and kisses, hugs and kisses, 

Comes to you from me.

Thank you, Dad 

Thank you, Dad 

You are such a friend.

On this day I'd like to say,

On you I can depend.

Thank you Dad for making 

family such

a beautiful word.

I thought you'd be a wonderful husband

And you are

I hoped you'd be a caring father

And you are


Happy Father's Day from both ( all ) of us


❤ ❤


My Dad and I 


My dad and I-we think alike, 

He knows just what I mean

Before I even say a word

He reads, well, in between. 


My dad and I-we like to fish

Or build a model plane, 

Or fix a broken chair or two

Or just a windowpane.


My dad and I-we know the score

Of every single game; 

Sometimes he's really busy, too

But he takes me just the same. 


My dad and I-we go swimming too, 

Each year and sometimes twice. 

My dad and I-we do everything; 

My dad-he's really nice. 


A Fathers Day poem by Phyllis C. Michael


❤ ❤


Over the years

As we grow old,

We remember our father

So brave and bold. 


In the garden, 

Leaning on the plow, 

He would listen to me; 

I see him now. 


He would give advice

And understand; 

He was always there

To lend a hand.


God made fathers

Strong and firm, 

For he knew our lives

Would have great concerns. 


So he gave us fathers

To teach us to pray,

And guide our lives, 

And show us the way. 


So on his day

Let's take the time

To say "Thanks, dad.

I'm glad you're mine." 


A Fathers Day poem by Mary Frances Bogle


❤ ❤


Daddy, I love you

For all that you do.

I'll kiss you and hug you

'Cause you love me, too. 


You feed me and need me

To teach you to play,

So smile 'cause I love you

On this Father's Day.

Fathers can be solitary mountains, 

All their love rock-like, steep, and strong.

Though warm and caring, somehow they belong

Halfway home to mothers' bubbling fountains. 

Each of us needs love that knows no quarter,

Reminding us of bonds that cross a border, 

Strengthening our sense of right and wrong. 


❤ ❤


Grandfathers are fathers who are grand, 

Restoring the sense that our most precious things

Are those that do not change much over time.

No love of childhood is more sublime, 


Demanding little, giving on demand, 

Far more inclined than most to grant the wings 

Allowing us to reach enchanted lands.

Though grandfathers must serve as second fathers, 


Helping out with young and restless hearts,

Each has all the patience wisdom brings,

Remembering our passions more than others, 

Soothing us with old and well-honed arts. 


❤ ❤


To my dad on his day,

Of whom I am a living will:

May your happiness fulfill

Your goodness, as is just and right.

Deeds are seeds upon the night

As wind and wonder have their way,

Delivering the destined light. 


❤ ❤

Fathers Day poems verses quotes


When I was just a tiny kid, 

Do you remember when, 

The time you kissed my bruises,

Or cleaned by soiled chin? 


You scrambled for the balls I hit,

(Short-winded more than not,)

Yet, every time we'd play a game,

You praised the "outs" I caught. 


It seems like only yesterday,

You wiped away my tears, 

And late at night I called your name, 

To chase away my fears. 


Though time has changed your handsome grip, 

Your hair is snowy white, 

You gait's a little slower now,

Thick glasses help your sight. 


Oh, do I thirst for years gone by,

To be that growing lad,

Re-living all of the memories, 

Of growing with my dad.


❤ ❤

Fathers Day poem from daughter 


A little girl needs Daddy

For many, many things

Like holding her high off the ground

Where the sunlight sings!


Like being the deep music

That tells her all is right

When she awakens frantic with

The terrors of the night. 


Like being the great mountain

That rises in her heart

And shows her how she might get home

When all else falls apart.


Like giving her the love

That is her sea and air,

So diving deep or soaring high

She'll always find him there.


❤ ❤


Fathers Day Poems


Dad, you're so 

Loving and kind,

And often you know

What I have on my mind.

You're someone who listens,

Suggests, and defends

And dad you're one 

Of my very best friends!

You're proud of your triumphs,

But when things go wrong,

You can be so patient

And helpful and strong

In all that I do,

Your love plays a part

There's always a place for you

Deep in my heart

And each year that passes,

I'm even more glad,

More grateful and proud

Just to call you my dad!


Happy Father's Day


❤ ❤


Fathers Day Verse

Fathers Day Poem


A Father means so many things...

An understanding heart,

A source of strength and of support

Right from the very start.

A constant readiness to help

In a kind and thoughtful way.

With encouragement and forgiveness

No matter what comes your way.

A special generosity 

And always affection, too

A Father means so many things

When he's a man like you... 


❤ ❤
