Poems for dad
To a man
To a man who liked a whiskey,
Okay, so maybe two,
A man who made all others laugh,
Quite why, he had no clue.
To a man who liked his garden,
Treading mud into the house,
A man who could be raucous,
Or as quiet as a mouse.
Dad memories
Do you remember when you used to sing,
Dear lord that sound was an awful thing.
You tried to help with my math test,
Even though you werent the best
Or when you danced on my wedding day,
Nobody knew quite what to say.
The stories there are many more,
But dad that’s why I do adore.
A star
We’ll look up at the sky each night,
And see your star shining so bright,
We’ll hold you in our hearts forever,
And forget you dad, no chance, not ever.
Goodbye dad, long may you rest
A true hero, top man, and the best.
My Dad, Gone but not forgotten
Gone but not forgotten,
Live’s cruel and sometimes rotten,
But then we will remind,
Of a man who’s love was kind.
A man both gentle and strong hearted,
Though sadly now has departed,
You meant the world and more,
And forever we’ll adore.
It’s hard to find the words to say,
But dad, we’ll miss you every day.
short dad poem
It’s not fair you had to go,
Quite where to, we’ll never know,
But in our hearts we’ll hold you dear,
As if you were still with us here.
I miss you Dad
Dad I miss you, can you hear,
At times I know, I feel you near,
The moments when I feel your heart,
Despite the fact we are apart.
Dad I know that you were good,
Did everything that a dad should,
And then went on to do some more,
My dad, the man I still adore.
When I was young you held my hand
When I was young you held my hand,
Helped me learn to understand,
Listened when I needed you,
My hero, you know it’s true.
At times I’m sure I did things wrong,
But you could not stay mad for long,
You’d sit me down and help me learn
to show caring, love, concern.
you taught me how
You never believed there was a God,
You thought the concept was just odd,
You didn’t mind for those that did,
But you’d decided as a kid.
You always put all others first,
Even though you felt much worse,
It was just the way you were,
That other people you’d prefer.
You helped me out with many things,
You had a hand in everything,
But yet you taught me to stand strong,
And always choose right over wrong.
I know you re near Dad
Now you’re gone, I’d like to know,
Exactly where it is you go,
I realise that you’re not here,
But somehow I still feel you near.
For religion, you never cared,
Yet I wonder if you at times felt scared,
You’ve sadly passed and gone away,
It’s all been so sad since that day.
We missed you and wished you were well,
That you were here, stories to tell,
That you were there to hug and hold,
But time passed, you just got old.
Last orders
How can one man do so much,
To do such good to all they touch,
To make our lives so full of joy,
The gift you had from a young boy.
Treats for those needing a smile,
Warmth for those unloved awhile,
Help, assistance you gave it all,
Our guardian angel, at our call.
But luckily we realised quickly,
Long before you became sickly,
How much joy you brought to others,
Sisters, mothers, sons, dads and brothers.
