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

What is a Dad?
A dad is someone who
Wants to catch you before you fall
But instead picks you up,
Brushes you off,
And lets you try again.
A dad is someone who
Wants to keep you from making mistakes
But instead lets you find your own way,
Even though his hearts breaks in silence
When you get hurt.
A dad is someone who
Holds you when you cry,
Scolds you when you break the rules,
Shines with pride when you succeed, and
Has faith in you even when you fail.

I know you like me best
Daddy I know your secret
That you’ve tried to keep suppressed
I promise I won’t tell anyone
But I know you like me best!

Our Fathers, by David A. Olds
Our fathers toil with hands and heart
To make our lives complete.
They quietly brave the winter cold,
Endure the summer heat.
Our fathers’ lives are busy, but
There’s always time for us.
They boldly face the ups and downs
And seldom ever fuss.
Our fathers are the greatest dads.
We know you know this, too.
But thank you for the chance to share
Our love for them with you.

What Makes A Dad?
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of the summer sun,
The clam of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of 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

Dads Say the Darndest Things, by Edgar Albert Guest
You better quit crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
If your best friend jumps off a bridge, are you going to do it too?
Because I said so, that’s why!
Thanks, Dad, for saying so.

Dad, You’re a man of Few Words
With just one look
My Dad said all I needed to hear
With just one look
My Dad instilled a reverential fear
With just one look
My Dad let us kids know just who was the boss
With just one look
His pride and love would always come across

Father is…
A Father Is . . .
A father is a source of strength,
A teacher and a guide,
The one his family looks up to
With loving trust and pride…
A father is a helper
With a willing hand to lend,
A partner, an adviser,
And the finest kind of friend.

Be Kind To Thy Father
Be kind to thy father,
for when thou wert young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he?
He caught the first accents that
fell from thy tongue,
And joined in thy innocent glee.

Pull up your pants.
Comb your hair.
Brush your teeth.
Don’t you stare.
Mind your manners.
Do your homework.
Don’t stay up too long.
Take out the trash.
Rake the leaves.
Cut the grass.
Don’t play too rough.
Being a Dad sure is tough.

My father knows the proper way
The nation should be run;
He tells us children every day
Just what should now be done.
He knows the way to fix the trusts,
He has a simple plan;
But if the furnace needs repairs,
We have to hire a man.

From The Fashionista, Adriana Velez
You grow old, you grow old
Why do you, like, still wear your pants rolled?
I’m embarrassed to be seen with you, but I still love you, Daddy!

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.

Brand New Dad
It’s time for happy Father’s Day
And you’re a brand new dad.
You have to get adjusted
As it’s not a passing fad.
It’s time for dirty diapers,
Messy meals and noisy nights.
But also gurgling giggling fun
And smiley, happy sights.
So, welcome now, to fatherhood.
It’s yours, the good and bad.
And I am downright certain
You are one fantastic dad!

To My Father
It matters not that Time has shed
His thawless snow upon your head,
For he maintains, with wondrous art,
Perpetual summer in your heart.

Fathers Need Not Fathers Be
Fathers need not fathers be.
All one needs to do is choose
To love for life, and that embrace,
Held long and hard, bestows the grace
Each craves. For all in time must lose,
Restored alone by memory.
So now it is with you and me.

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.
But every day I’m growing –
I’ll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.
So here’s a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.

To thank you for
Always being there
All these years, when I
Was heading nowhere
I better leave
My feelings unspoken
I’ll silently give you
This poem, a heartfelt token
I’m speechless, not because
I’ve nothing to say
But because I know, what you
Sacrificed, day after day
Happy Fathers Day

My Dad
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.
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.
