A Dad is patient, helpful, and strong
He is there by your side when things go wrong
He's someone who guides you to do the right thing
And helps you solve problems that life sometimes brings
I know that I'm not perfect, and I'm sure you know that too,
But it means the world to know that I can always talk to you.
I am sure you didn't expect all this when you took me in to stay.
But you still loved me enough that you did it anyway.
A Dad is someone you can count on
Someone who is always there
Someone who listens when you talk
Who knows when you are lying
My dad has cancer and it's hard for him. I'm 10 years old and I love him. He's the only one that listens to me.
Fathers are fun - and serious too!
And you learn more from them than you do at school.

When the shadows come and the nightmares make it hard to sleep,
You're always there to chase them all away.

'Cause you love me too.
Dad, you are
My Friend,
My Hero,
And I love you
With all my heart!

Grand oak
A majestic figure
Always standing straight
My father's love never places judgment on me,
his love comes unconditional and unselfishly.
For all the things you've done to show how much you care,
I am so glad to have stumbled upon this poem. In my moment of grief, this has given me the strength to strive to be a dad like this for my two daughters. Many thanks and much love.
Quiet as you are, I always knew
You were watching me, loving me, all the years through
Hard as it was at times, I am sure,
Generally, my times with my Papa had always been great. Even though, we didn't have much, I still could see how he tried his best to put us into a comfortable life. He tried everything to...
When I wake in my sleep
You are there to comfort me
With mommy by your side
...To help me breathe
Being a father to a son

You can't imagine your world

full of love and laughter!
The builder of my castle is a strong MAN
Who loves me first and himself after.
