Short Poems From A Kid

Daddy I want to let you know,
How lucky Mommy and I are,
Because when it comes to daddies,
You really are a star!

I feel safe when you are with me;
You show me fun things to do;
You make my life much better;
The best father I know is you.

I'm happy you're my Dad
And so I want to say
I love you, Dad, and wish you
A Happy Father's Day!
- Joanna Fuchs

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.

 
My daddy is so special.
He's brave and strong and smart.
That's why I love him so
With all my little heart!

Poems From A Son

Dad, you know that I like Batman
And Superman's cool too,
But I don't really need them
As long as I have you!

FDAY GIFT IDEAS

A boy and his dad on a fishing-trip—
There is a glorious fellowship!
Father and son and the open sky
And the white clouds lazily drifting by,
And the laughing stream as it runs along
With the clicking reel like a martial song,
And the father teaching the youngster gay
How to land a fish in the sportsman's way.
- Edgar Guest

At times I thought that you were
far too hard on me...
But now dad, I understand
why you had to be.

To become the man
you knew I could...
without your guidance
I never would.

With love and patience
you gave me insight...
You taught me respect
wrong and right.

Looking back to the start
where it all had begun...
Dad, I'm so proud
when you call me your son.

Poems From A Daughter

FDAY GIFT IDEAS

 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.
An emotion so immense that nothing in this world can erase.
The permanent impression of love is tattooed upon her face.
A relation so peculiar that only the two can understand,
Yet so immaculate it's obvious that, by God, it was planned.
- Michelle W. Emerson 

Look how I shave her thumbnail down
so carefully she feels no pain.
Watch as I lift the splinter out.
I was seven when my father
took my hand like this...
I did what a child does
when he's given something to keep.
I kissed my father.
- Li-Young Lee

FDAY GIFT IDEAS

I sit and look back to how far I can remember,
And you are always there next to me.
Each and every day you were helping me grow up,
And making me be the best that I can be.

Your love was forever strong,
Your cuddles forever tight.
Every day since I was born,
Your love was always in sight.

I will always be your Baby Girl,
And you will always be my Dad.
I know I will always be the luckiest
To have the best Dad any girl could have had.

My Daddy, I love you with all my heart,
Much more than I ever say.
You are my world, my everything,
Each and every day.

Moving Poems For Dad

FDAY GIFT IDEAS

When I was a baby,
you would hold me in your arms.
I felt the love and tenderness,
keeping me safe from harm.
I would look up into your eyes,
and all the love I would see.
How did I get so lucky?
You were the dad chosen for me.
- Christina M. Kerschen

My father, my father,
I love he,
my father, my father,
made me see,
how beautiful this world really can be.
-  Dakota Ellerton  

FDAY GIFT IDEAS

God once made a father
his best one of all
he was smart loving and determined
to come when his kids called

This father could be serious
he would sometimes get mad
but he was forgiving
when you did something bad

This father could be silly
he would tell many jokes
he could be quite annoying
when he gave tickles and pokes

God gave him to someone
but who could it be?
This very lucky person
turned out to be me.
 - Abigail Stott

A special father,
In my heart,
Is someone who,
Would never part.

A special father,
In my life,
Sits at the head of the table,
With a carving knife.

A special father,
I adore,
Is always there,
To keep the score.

A special father,
I must say,
Is you, my father,
In every way.
- Julie Hebert

Inspirational Poems For Dad

 God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea...
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad.

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

Only a dad but he gives his all
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim,
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.
- Edgar Guest

FDAY GIFT IDEAS

How can this man with so much on his plate
Find good cause and reason to procrastinate?
It's because he's a man who is certainly wise.
A giant of a man in his dear family's eyes.
A man who knows well his priorities,
And chooses the moments important to seize.
So where is this man with so much to be done?
He's in the backyard playing catch with his son.
- Ron Tranmer
