Best Dads Poems

Dad I wish I could make the hurt go away. 
I wish I could tell you it will be ok. 
It breaks my heart when I see you now, 
So weak and vulnerable is not who you are. 
When you look in the mirror you...

I have two great dads – yes I do 
Most people don’t – yes that’s true 

One dad raised me since I was three 
The other – we didn’t have a chance – him and me 

One dad I look just like 
The other taught...

Nature’s Single Dad’s
THE LEAFY SEA DRAGON

Gracefully swaying without need for speed 
Are creatures of beauty, disguised as seaweed.
Up to twelve inches long from tail to snout
These delicate creatures just drift about.

They carry, as they move like galleons in sail, 
Silk-like appendages, leafy and pale
On back...

Nature’s Single Dad:
The Australian Emu :
The first 55 days

Emund is busy
preparing his
dance-floor for
partners who’ll put
him to the test. 
His pedigree line
has proven with time

that it is now his
turn, to be best.
He hears them emerge
from the bush as
they gather in
answer to nature’s
call.
They dance, and then
go away,...

I just want to tell all the fathers out there
Thank you
Thank you for having your seeds
Thank you for carrying it to the next generation
Thank you for sticking around
Thank you for learning to be mom
when it is not yours to learn
Thank you for giving up certain...

"Happy Dads Day"

Most men can be a father, not requiring any skill
Beyond an encounter that will give them a thrill.
But here's where comes in to play the dividing line,
Since a Dad is someone special, planned by God Divine.

To be a Dad takes more than a...

I do believe there are some dead beat dads

But, you need to think before you write because you can make some people mad,

Only the dads that know they are no good

But, you need to put credit where you should,

Years ago it was all so funny

Thinking...

Where would I be without you dad? 
My hero of night and day
I'm so glad you love my mother, 
And take time for us each day.

The last time we played baseball,
You reached for me with your hand. 
I looked at you, then made a wish,...

It all happened rather sudden, having to say goodbye.
My children standing all around as tears filled there eyes.

Then I heard a voice say son its time to come home.
But God I asked, how can I leave them here all alone?
Come he said there's something I...

The chipmunks are oblivious
And so, too, are the birds.
I doubt if they would even care
If they could speak in words.

But humans and their calendars,
At least where I reside,
Know Fathers' Day's upon us;
By the rules we must abide.

A card or call's expected
And perhaps a little gift.
It...

Blessed was I to be a thread of love sown by you.
Growing up, I was pleased you thought me your twin flair.
Losing you was the worst heart dark I ever knew.
For years, my grief over you seemed too much to bear.

After you died all of...

I danced the dance of the unrestrained,

It felt so good I danced again.

At my gyrations, ladies swooned

(well if not, they would do soon)

I did not care, for this was me

In wild abandon for all to see.

I was hip, I was the man

My dancing moves, they...

Just an Old Cooler

Not much to look at,
Hard to carry,
Won’t through it away.

To you, it looks dirty,
To me, it looks used.
From the late 1960s

To you, it appears empty,
To me, it's full of memories.
I miss my dad so much,
The tears well up, flowing out.

Camping trips to...
