 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 heart 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…

______________

Just for my dad!

I’m not good at expressing,

how much you mean to me.

Everything I do in my life,

is how you showed me to be.

You hold the key to my future,

in everything I do,

The traits that help me to succeed,

I guess I got from you.

I have a dad I am close to,

one I know is always there,

Whenever I am sad and low,

you always show you care.

Though you don’t often show it,

as some others may,

You make me laugh and smile a lot

and always make my day.

You always have been there for me,

no matter what the cost,

You are the love light in my life

without you I’d be lost.

Never to outgrow your love,

I will always need you here.

No matter where I travel to

be it far or near.

I’ll always be a daddy’s girl,

I know that’s deep and true,

And all that remains for me to say,

Is dad…I love you!

______________

Thank You For My Dad

Once a year is not enough to say I love you dad.

He’s been there for me all my life, when I’ve been happy or sad.

When God made dad’s he labeled mine, “This one’s just for you”.

He was so right, no other dad can do the things you do.

A hero always in my eyes, he gave his last to me.

When my dad came home, I’d climb upon his knee,

and tell him what I’d done that day, my dollies, mummy and me.

Now I look at my children and hope that they will be,

To say I love you so much dad, on this your special day,

comes from my heart straight to you, full of  loving words to say.

We never say the things we should, as often as need be.

but dad I really mean it when I say.

God gave the best DAD to ME

______________

Shadow

I was always your little shadow

I’d follow you every where.

When ever you would turn around

I would be right there.

Hey Dad, I remember

All those special days,

And many, many other things

you taught me through the days.

Hey Dad, you may not believe me

but I tell you this is true.

I am who I am today

all because of you.

Hey Dad, I love you dearly

I’ll always be your little girl.

You’ll always be my hero

Cause you are my whole world

I Love You So Much Dad

And I want the world to know.

I couldn’t ask for anymore

Than a Daddy that’s my hero.

______________

Sealed

Wrapped up in Birthday Paper,

sealed with a Hug and Kiss,

Today Is your “Birthday”,

So, I give you this.

I have wrapped for you my feelings

you must reach down deep inside

Just for today you get to peek,

access is not denied.

You know I have trouble dad

my words, don’t seem to flow.

But, Dad I love you so much,

more than you would ever know.

So I’ve wrapped my words securely

In paper wrap and tape.

Loving words written on paper

So they can’t escape.

Keep them safe, read them often

and know they are all true.

You are the best dad in the world

My dad, I love you.

______________

Tough Love

I never thought you loved me

our time was always cold.

Never said those words to me

blamed myself ten fold

I could have been a better son

and you a better dad.

Should have changed the whole damn thing

and worked with what we had.

No one showed you how to love

so how could you show me?

Time would come to be our friend

love would help us see.

You loved me with your silent words

protective acts of war.

When I thought I’d gone too far

you loved me even more.

Our silence isn’t quite as awkward

we’ve grown over the years

Holding on to what we find

before life disappears

You, my father, I, your son

love held in between.

Confusion turned to understanding

chaos to serene.

Dad I’ve always loved you

I won’t wait another day.

to tell you that I love you

and every things okay.

______________ 

My Father

A father never wants to see

his child go astray

Everyday he tries his best

to help you find your way

He knows at times you’ll have to fail

Learn things on your own

No matter how it hurts to see

the falls before you’ve  grown.

Protector of a youthful heart

consoled all of our pains.

A hero in the eyes of love

his blood runs through our veins.

Child love your father now

Give him all your praise

Our time in life is limited

Wisely use these days

Give back all he’s given you

this love is something rare

It’s flow is unconditional

strength beyond compare.

The Man, My Dad

You’re not the father who made me

and I think god you’re not.

Because if you where,

all these things I would have never have got.

You taught me how to trust again,

that great people exist.

You are always here for us,

nothing have you ever missed.

I know you aren’t the man who made me

but of that I am glad.

Any guy can be a father,

but it takes a real man to be a dad.

You are the only father I’ve ever known,

the only one I’ve had.

And I love you more than words can say,

you’ll always be my dad.

A Step-dad Is A Step-up

To the man who healed a broken family

who made our house a home.

To link the path of  incomplete

so we were not alone.

Your footsteps are easy to follow

Even though sometimes I fell

Never because you staggered

but because you did it well.

So why do they call it a step-dad?

‘cause it’s  a step-up from a Dad.

Something far more special.

the best a child could have had.

So today I want you to remember

how wonderful, strong you are.

Because without you here with me

I would have never gotten far.

I never can repay you, Dad,

For all the things you’ve done,

I can only love you more and more

For each and every one!

Special Gift For Dad

This is a very special gift

that you can never see

the reason its so special

it comes to you from me.

Whenever you are lonely Dad

or even feeling a little blue

you only have to hold this gift

and know I think of you.

You never can unwrap it

please leave the ribbon tied

you only have to hold this gift

its filled with love inside.

Dad

My father was a stern, strong man,

Full of power and pride,

My youth was spent in rebellion,

His knowledge tossed aside.

He was not a man of soft kind words,

Great moments of affection,

But he was always there, watching out,

His love was his protection.

My youthful eyes could not see,

The man that I view now,

So full of care and loving wisdom,

Which I did disavow.

Though seldom spoken, the words are there,

In the action he does take,

Those moments he loves and forgives,

Even my worst mistake.

The time he takes to show concern,

When my path may stray,

Or the awkward words which still are spoken,

When we’re in dismay.

I’d never trade a single moment,

Not one, end to start,

He is my dad, I am his girl,

Always in his heart.

Happy Birthday Dad

I wish a Happy Birthday

to the man I call my Dad

As I look back on all these years

and all the good times we’ve had.

All are filled with laughter

our faces brightened with smiles

especially when you tickle me

you could hear my laugh from miles.

You help me with so many things

and encourage me my best.

You always put smiles on my face

whenever I was stressed.

You always joke around with me

in a ways that show you care

and when I need your guidance

you are always there.

So today is your day

And I thank you for all you do.

Know that you mean so much to me

and that I Love You.

______________

I Am His Daughter

I have a stepfather who loves me.

I have a stepfather who

will do anything for me.

I have a stepfather who

has always been there for me.

I have a stepfather who

knows that he is loved.

I have a stepfather who

gives a helping hand.

I have a stepfather who is not

just my mother’s husband

but my father as well.

I have a stepfather who

is loved my his one and

only daughter

Me…

_____________

Today I will remember

Everything he’s done

In the past, present, and future

Raising his daughter and  son

He was there when mom died

He took care of us alone

Not once did he ever say

It was something we had done

He just raised us best he could

Was a mom and a dad

Taught us about God and life

Gave us everything he had

He taught me many sports

He pushed me all the way

And even now that I’m grown up

He pushes me further each day

Though sometimes he pushed too hard

To a point that I want to cry

But I look back on it and thank him

Because now I understand why

He knew that I could do it

I just needed a wanting to try

His words of critique were really a way

To motivate me inside

So thank you dad for everything

For teaching me all you knew

You’re the best dad I could ask for

Thanks Dad, I love you.

______________

Step-Dad

I know you’re not my real father

although it feels that way.

Because you do so much for me,

each and every day.

I wonder if you realize

how much you mean to me.

but with this poem I write to you

I hope to help you see.

You do so much more for me, you know

than my actual father.

And to tell you straight from my heart

it’s you Dad I’d much rather.

I will always love you Dad

for everything you do.

You are the best a Dad can be

I just want to THANK YOU !
