Fathers Day Poem

[Lucy P]

Hi

 

Does anyone know of a suitable poem that can be used for fathers day presents?

 

I know this is really last minute but only returned from my holiday today to find that gifts haven't been made yet

 

I wouldn't normally worry but we did lovely handprint poems including photographs of the children with painty hands for mothers day and feel bad for leaving out the dads!!

 

I would be most grateful for any ideas.

Thanks very much

This one is quite nice with footprints

 

“Walk a little slower daddy/mummy/granddad etc.,” said the child so small.

“I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,

Sometimes they’re hard to see;

So walk a little slower, Daddy

For you are leading me.

Someday when I’m all grown up,

You’re what I want to be;

Then I will have a little child

Who’ll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,

And know that I was true;

So walk a little slower, Daddy,

For I must follow you.”

How beautiful. shame more fathers don't feel that as fathers they have a big part to play in their child's life.

Breought a tear to my eye as so many fathers don't understand what they are missing

Oh, I read a very similar one in these days and I just started to cry, thinking of my dad who lives so far away. Thanks for sharing it.

Here are some others:

 

Daddy I Love you

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.

 

 

"Dad, Thank You."

Thank you for the laughter,

For the good times that we share,

Thanks for always listening,

For trying to be fair.

 

Thank you for your comfort,

When things are going bad,

Thank you for the shoulder,

To cry on when I'm sad.

 

This poem is a reminder that

All my life through,

I'll be thanking Heaven

For a Special Dad like you."
