Fathers Day Poems

Here are some of the most inspirational fathers day poetry that I could find for your use.

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.


--Margaret Courtney


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


--William Hamilton Hayne


WHO YOU ARE

You are
What a man is to me
The measure of integrity
The teacher of right and wrong
The warrior in the world – so strong
You are
The heart within the stone
A light that always shone
The constant center that does not change
The welcome home that’s never strange
You are
My dad.

WHAT MAKES A 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 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 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

DADDY'S HANDS

I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
You could read quite a story in the callouses and lines
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind
I remember daddy's hands how they held my mama tight
And patted my back for something done right
There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man
But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands.
I remember Daddy's hands working 'til they bled
Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed
If I could do things over, I'd live my life again
And never take for granted the love in Daddy's hands


--Holly Dunn


THANK YOU DAD

You cradled me in arms so strong
When I was young and did no wrong
You read me stories through the night
Chased the monsters, held me tight

You taught me how to walk so tall
You raised me up at every fall
You showed me how to drive a car
Bait a hook, name the stars

You guided me as I grew up
Pried me loose when I got stuck
Helped me out when times got tough
You never wavered in your love.

I thank you Dad for all you’ve done
The lessons, the tears and the fun
I thank you Dad for all your time
I thank you Dad for being mine
