Poems About Having & Being a Father

‘Only a Dad’ – Poem by Edgar Albert Guest

Only a dad, but he gives his all

To smooth the way for his children small,

Doing, with courage stern and grim,

The deeds that his father did for him.

This is the line that for him I pen,

Only a dad, but the best of men.

‘My Daddy’ – Poem by Charleigh Graham

My Daddy is a mountain

My Daddy is a sea

My Daddy smiles again and again

I love my Daddy and I know he loves me

’Cause my Daddy is a ray of light that warms a winters’ eve

My daddy is very special to me

I could not live without my daddy as he could not live without me.

‘Dad’ – Poem by Karen K. Boyer

He never looks for praises

He’s never one to boast

He just goes on quietly working

For those he loves the most

His dreams are seldom spoken

His wants are very few

And most of the time his worries

Will go unspoken too

He’s there… A firm foundation

Through all the storms of life

A sturdy hand to hold

In times of stress and strife

A true friend we can turn to

When times are good or bad

One of our greatest blessings

The man that we call dad.
