STEP-DAD POEMS FOR STEP-DAD
Some People Say
You’re Not My Real Dad
Some people would say you’re not my real Dad
but we know this isn’t true -
For you’ve been a Real Dad to me
in all the things we’ve been through.
We’ve had our ups and downs
sometimes its hard to bend -
But you’ve always been there when I needed you
and that’s what matters in the end.
You’ve been patient, kind and firm
over the years as I’ve grown -
And I’m eternally grateful to you
because you’ve treated me as your own.
Although we’re not tied by bloodlines
the Love and Trust you’ve given me -
Is a precious gift, day after day
and that’s what counts as a Real Dad to me.

A Step-Father Means So Many Things
I know I haven’t always said
how I appreciate, all that you do -
So I’m saying now, how blessed I feel
to have a Step-dad like you.
I never got to choose you
You just became my ‘Dad’ -
So I’m grateful to my mother
for the great taste that she had.
A step father means so many things
like 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 step father means so many things
when he’s a great man like YOU!

The Dad He Didn’t Have To Be
I know I didn’t tell you enough
but I think you should know -
How much I care, how I love you
how much you’ve helped me grow.
Before you came into my world
I had no-one to call Dad -
You leaped the hurdle
(even though you’re short!)
I don’t think you did half bad.
Now I sit here so far from home
living in this distant place -
Wishing I could sit and have a beer
and to see your ugly old face.
You mean the world to me my Dad
and you might not think it’s true -
When the day comes, a family I start
I hope to be, a Dad like you.
So many years have passed us now
since I was a little lad -
Though I’m no longer so little these days
I’m still glad to call you Dad.
Now I stand here so far away
in the mirror what do I see? -
Someone who hopes, I can be but half
of the Dad You didn’t have to be.
This is hard to say, it’s harder to write
but it comes straight from my heart -
When I tell you that I’ve loved you as Dad
right from the very start.
When I get old I know you’ll still
always be there with me -
I hope my kids have half the Dad
that you did not have to be.
Now I just want to thank you Dad
from the bottom of my heart -
For always being there as my Dad
and loving me from the start.
And when my kids get older
and I, sit with grand kids on knee -
I pray I make, half the Grandpa
I know you’re going to be.
Eulogy For My Step-Dad
I can’t believe he’s gone
He’s left our world behind -
And though he’s moving on
His light will always shine.
In everything he taught me
with every truth he shared -
The love he gave so freely
and the way he always cared.
His loyalty, his honesty
His humor and his pride -
Always shall inspire me
to cast my fears aside.
Go after your dreams
with all your heart!
is what he used to say -
And now though it seems.
that we’re worlds apart
He has not gone away.
His spirit still shall lift me
His smile will remain -
Part of everything we see.
in our joy and in our pain.
He will always feel our love
we are forever blessed -
And as he watches from above
we’ll try to do our best.

A Second Dad
Even though you’re not my dad
I know that you’ll be there -
With the little things your do
to let me know you care.
You’re always there to help
whatever the need may be -
You’ve given of yourself
and so unselfishly.
Now you’re becoming the dad
that I’ve never known -
I’m drawn to you more everyday
for the kindness you have shown.
So, I just want to thank you
and let you know I care
A second dad, as great as you
is so very rare.

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 by his one and
only daughter. Me!

My 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 !

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!

A Poem For My Step Dad
Although you are my Step-dad
You’re really so much more -
We get along so very well
More than I could ask for.
You always listen to me
I know you really care -
And when I really need you
You are always there.
All the great things I have learned
Just by watching you -
Thanks for, being my Step-dad
And for the good friend I’ve found in you.
-
My Step-dad
To me you are a
priceless commodity -
A wealth of wisdom
you’ve been to me.
If I have thoughts
I need to share -
I always know
that you will care.
Enjoying the things
we accomplish together -
When done with you
they’re always better.
You always have
an open mind -
A better step-dad
I could never find.

Step Dads Are Real Dads
You were not there when I was born
and you didn’t get to see -
First screams, first steps
first words of mine
the beginning part of me.
You missed a lot of milestones
birthdays, school, and such -
But as for what’s important
you didn’t miss that much.
You came into our lives when
when I was confused and sad -
It took a while to adjust
but you soon became my dad.
It couldn’t have been easy
teens just never are -
We got home late
and caused you grief
we pushed you way too far.
We never thought you’d stick around
certainly, you didn’t have to -
If our own father couldn’t do it
we thought, then why would you?
It may have taken quite a while
for us to get things right -
But in the end wed did it
much to my delight.
My REAL dad, yes you are,
biological or not -
For all the things that make a dad
are all the things you’ve got!
Though these words cannot explain
all that we’ve been through -
But I want you to know
that with all my heart
Dad, I love you!
