Dads Poems

Dads note

If it rains while I’m not there 
Don’t forget to wear your coat 
If you feel cold while it rains, 
take some hot tea 
If it rains and I don’t come to pick you up,
take a cab and come home 
If it rains and the windows are open don’t 
forget to close them 
If it

Premium Member4 Single Dads

Sun rays slide across your face
Inviting silhouette artistic shades of love
Needling fingers plats a braid
Girl dad doing her hair not a fad
Little rituals she enjoys 
Emerald ribbons matching joy

Doing all tasks of mom
And those of a daddy
Definitely a hero to your kids

Premium MemberTwo Dads

Here’s a story about a little boy who, when he was just a lad
was blessed to have the good fortune to be adopted by two dads.

He was malnourished…this little boy…his bedroom was a drawer…
The two dads like to think his parents loved him…but they loved their heroine more.

Many a heterosexual couple was asked to help…
but

Happy Dads Day

Forever you're gonna be my papa
Even if I no rich and I be palmwine tapper.
The joy you gave me by reincarnating
Is priceless and worth celebrating;

I knew you replaced yourself before you left
And even though I gleaned, I wept.
Table have turned and I am now your father,
And I shall love and guide you to the top

Dads New Groove

I heard my Dad singing and playing the piano a few rooms away.
Ripples of wonder poured over me and the Holy Spirit filled all the empty space in my life that day.
A new assurance, a powerful dominance vibrating and emanating 
from my Dad's mouth.
A power of divinity, the sound of many waters that had all

Our brother up stairs we don’t like.
This Chip he does love is a pike!

Late Dads Birthday

Things put into perspective,
As reminders come around,
Memories that touch us,
As we tread the hallowed ground.
Photo albums capture,
Things that then seemed nothing much,
But trigger happy thoughts in minds,
our lives, how they did touch.
Of course there’s always sadness,
Cos they can’t be with us now,
reflect upon the impact,
They had on our lives and how.
A metaphoric candle,
That today for

Revelations About Dads Infamous Midnight Lectures

Revelations about Dad’s infamous midnight lectures...

Especially during past session
on May eighth

between the hours of five and
six o'clock post meridiem.

Between three and four score years ago
the following poetic ill winds did blow
yours truly felt like carrion
repurposed courtesy black crow
decimated to bajillion pieces
analogous to deaf eat, viz bitter foe

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 Spruce Knob.
Just me and dad and
The squirrel that got the

Daddy Always Worries

You worry about me so much,
I can feel your concern with just your touch.
You say you are fine but I know you well,
you are always worrying I can easily tell.

You act  always harsh,
but underneath that frown there lies a heart as soft as marsh.

There are times when you are angry at me,
there are times

Mom and Dads Candy Treats

Twas the night before Halloween
All costumes were chosen hang by their beds
Thoughts of pumpkins and candy treats
Knocking on doors waiting for something sweet

Yet the ghost and goblins were getting ready to
The witches and devils were creating a brew
No child this night will be safe from fright
For even the dead will arise this scary night

Black cats
