~ Daddy's Are For Loving ~
Daddy's are for loving, Daddy's very strong
My Daddy is so special, My Daddy's name is love
Daddy tells me it's alright, without a word to say
He just has to be there and everything's okay
Daddy's are for fixing, they know what's best to do
I just trust him anyway, that is what is true
We don't talk so very much, somehow I think he understands
I don't know why or such, my Daddy is a man
Daddy's are for doing stuff, we get out and play
He is so full of fun and laughs, I love Daddy every day.

A Father who is truly 'there' for his children is a 'Tower of Strength' for his little ones.
The storms of life will blow against the family unit,
and no one can stand them, as calmly as a Dad, who is sure of his place in God's Kingdom.
Taking his place and seeing his role to his children, as our Heavenly Father is to his people,
brings a strength to the family that leads to security, rest, and discovery.

~ My Father - My Friend
Today is the time to ponder why you are, who you are to me Is it for what you give or what it is for me to be. Do I love you just because you come home every night And are always there for me in case I get a fright. Could I consider you my friend because I ask you for advice When I have a curly problem and you guide me very wise. Would I be glad for your presence a strength on which to lean Do I love the way you laugh and sometimes tickle me. Do I think of you as having faith able to face another day. If you were as any other would I love you anyway. Might I admire your manly traits your deep voice and robust ways Dad, I'm so glad God gave you me Have a Happy Father's Day today.

~ Daddy and Me ~
There's two that are the best of friends, that's the Daddy one you see
He's the bigger one, and that's the little me.
With Daddy by my side, we do stuff, we get along,
Like what we'll always do, because we're big and strong.
And, now it's Daddy's day, so I'm sending him a great big "Hi"
Have a happy day all day Daddy...I love you so, goodbye.

The greatest thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
And the greatest thing a mother can do for her children is to love their father.

~ My Dad's The Best ~
Oh yes, My Dad's the One, the catch of the day, I've got him, hook line and sinker I say,
He's all mine, you're too late, 'cause I'm his best bait.
When he calls me a can of worms, so full of squirm,
But that's OK by me, because he only chortles it, with that twinkle in his eye,
He's the greatest of all Dads everywhere and here's the reasons why...
You love your kids, you're good at woodwork,
And like being our friend, well, between those long wise talks.
You're devoted to your real vocation to get the money to take us all on vacation,
You're clever with a ball and bat (but giving blood, you don't like that.)
Old time music you just love to play and bills on time, you're keen to pay,
You fill the bin with all the mess, but then, always like to look your best.
You're the King of the road for sure
And so handy at fixing up the car, well, at mending everything, you're quite the star,
So the whole bunch of us would like to say
We love you Dad so very much.

God took the strength of a mountain, the majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun, the calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages, the power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in Spring, the faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity, the depth of a family need,
Then, God combined these qualities, when there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete, and so, He called him ... Dad

~ Messenger Of Love ~
Dad, you infused all of my life with rich colour in the night
Filled my mind with imagination, to overflow my heart with light
You kept your quiet abiding presence, to wipe away the tears
A rock of strength to meet my needs and calm my childhood fears
You stood up high to give your best, the life of you, to me
To show me goodness of our God, then with wisdom set me free
My heart feels only gratitude, for all your daily care
Your trustworthy commitment, was always gently there
And now, I pray I bring you joy, whene'er you look at me
As a part of you remains forever, for you to always see.

Have a Happy Father's Day - But don't walk too fast Dad,
I can't keep up if you do - You're the best I could ever have.
Music click ~♫ Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast♫
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they’re hard to see;
So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Someday when I’m all grown up, You’re what I want to be.
Then I will have a little child who’ll want to follow me.
“Walk a Little slower, Daddy.” said a little child so small.
I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall.
And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for I must follow you!!

~ Gun It Dad ~
Power it Dad, gun the gears, as we watch you go,
Right from the starting line, you sure control the road.
Let her rip, give her throttle, tear up the burning rubber,
Pedal to the metal, lead foot it on the double.
Hug the corners, drive the straights, gun it more to hold the lead,
You've got what it takes, to travel at high speed.
For being the greatest father, you surely can succeed,
My admiration today and always, I want you to receive.

~ World's Best Dad ~
As a man you must feel it in your spirit and deep within your soul,
There is a place for you, one you can surely know.
As you walked along life's fairway, seeking for your swing,
You found how to be real, in searching for 'your thing'.
Life brought to you some blows, like grief and war and hurt,
Yet you kept on praying, your heart would not be burnt.
Tempted to shrink back in the shadows, for the distance seemed too far,
You were determined to find in life, the authentic swing you are.
God told You He was your guide, He's been with you all along,
As you walked within the course, you knew which traps were wrong.
Thank you, for your wisdom, for lining up with faith to see,
You got the hole in one... Thank you, you are the one for me.

Dad, I thank you for the music, for the love in you that shines, I could never be more glad, God chose you to be mine. Because you are so special, the only sonnet I can play, Is for a Father's day, most blessed, this, I sincerely pray. My heart feels only gratitude, for all your daily care, Your commitment to life's ballad always gently there. I'm glad of how you played each bar, eternal love to know, In sharing of your Father love, a forever theme you've shown. For that's the very greatest gift to me, that you could give, As you cared enough to sing- that I will ever live. You whistled me a love song, for every hill I climbed, I thank God for the special Dad, that always, will be mine. The only music I will hear today is your love, within my heart, To proclaim your very best, the man of God you are. Thank you for your song of life, for the years we've had together, For giving me love's symphony.. You're my No#1.... forever. Derry's Heart Poems © June 2010 [email protected] I'm so grateful and proud..all I want, is to sing it out loud....so I say, Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing, so I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me |
~ Happy Father's Day No#1 ~
When my father loved my mother and made a cozy home,
They decided to have me, so they wouldn't be alone.
They didn't have to choose me, to fill up their empty hearts,
But, I am sure thankful, their lives were sabotaged.
By night my Dad would walk the floor, then still work hard by day,
And when he came back home again, I'd drag him out to play.
I didn't hear him grumble much, he'd just grin at me and say,
Ah, you make putty of a man, but that's a woman's way.
I never then did figure, why he thought me so grown up,
How could I know I was a mini version, of my mother's heart.
As with a twinkle in his eye, he'd do everything I asked,
Whatever project was on the go, he'd work on my behalf.
Ah, my Father has been good to me, all the years we've been together,
But, you know what is the best..
He'll be Dad No#1 forever.

Rest back now dear Daddy, Pillows plumped, for dawn is breaking, I say, be warm and snuggled in For breakfast's on its way. Buttered croissant just for you, A pot of favourite tea, Fruit compote for your treat, All from the heart of me. So wake up warm, dear Daddy, Love today is knocking at your door, Knock-knock, stay right there, Your tea I've come to pour. Love you always dear Daddy for sure, that's what a Daddy's for... ~ Have a very Happy day ~ Derry's Heart Poems © 2009 Daddy, all the love that you wrote within this tender heart of mine will never be erased by distance or by time. ~blossoms~ |

A little girl needs Daddy, for many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music that tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with the terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain, that rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home when all else falls apart.
Like giving her the love that is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high, she'll always find him there.
~ My Shining Star My Dad
God needed someone very special Strong and sturdy too, To protect all of the family With great fortitude. He looked at the majestic mountain But that was way too high, Then at a gigantic tree Not soft enough to be a guy. The sun too bright, the moon too dim He'll need to think and plan and scheme, To build and understand And hold lots of love within. A gentle heart, a power to work Grit to endure, a humorous quirk, A spring in his step and twinkle in his eye Muscle to lift and spirit to fly. So, of His own image, He moulded man And made Himself an eternal friend, To share His fatherly ways He put His heart within. For when he walks upright with God A man will display His glory too And as a masterpiece of faith to live He is a Father of true attribute. Thankyou so much Dad for being our shining star today we express our gratitude. Derry's Heart Poems © 2004 [email protected] |

Dear Dad, I just want to say, your love is such a safety net,
A place where my tender heart, can be securely kept.
I'm glad that you have mirrored an eternal love to know,
In sharing of your Fatherly love, a lasting love you've shown.
For that is surely the greatest gift, to me you could ever give,

Today I want to thank you for your love-
a safe harbour for me to shelter in.

~ Treasured Moments
Dad you blessed me with so much, now this blessing I pray for you to know, to hold close to your heart, wherever you may go. May every moment that you live, overflow with peace and love, Just as the sun fills up the sky, may God protect you from above. May your heart be filled with courage, by your faith in Christ as Lord, To lift your wings above the strife, for blessing all the more. May each day you rise to give, return to you deep joy within, To enlarge your heart with tender love, for the Dad you've always been. Thank you, I love you always for every treasured moment shared, It is hard to put into words, everything I mean. Derry's Heart Poems © 2004 [email protected] Time is written in volumes three, The past, the present, and yet to be The past is written, and laid away, The present Father's love, we're living day by day And yet to be, greatest of volumes three, Is hidden from our sight, Our Heavenly Father holds the key |

While I reminisce about you to cheer you up a bit.
You've been my special Daddy, these many years and more,
So much that you have shown me That today you might stand tall.
I am glad God blessed me so, with a Dad as fine as you,
I am glad He sought fit to give me a Daddy good and true.

But in being near, dear Dad How close our hearts can stay.....

~ Gentle Loving Father ~
There is a Father's day to say ' Thank You', to the One who made us all,
The perfect Father up above, the One who makes us whole.
The Father full of wondrous love, the One who's life we share,
Who will never go away and all our heartache bears.
The Father of our yesterdays, our todays, tomorrows and for all time,
Close, all through the darkest night and trusted to be kind.
The Father to hear our every word, every thought to understand,
The One that we can keep forever, holding tightly to our hand.
For every day is Father's day,
with the One who always stays.

~ My Father's Heart ~
I reached deep into my heart, looking for the words to say,
I searched the recesses of my mind, for all I could convey.
I pondered long on all you've done, how I grew within your heart,
As you gave up your life to give, all you could e'er impart.
I tried to compose something, that you and I alone could know,
As I felt a deep emotiom, about how I am your own.
Then I wondered if I could ever find the eloquence divine,
But cannot find sweeter words, than, thankyou Dad, I love you
Forever more you're mine.
Thanks Dad, being with you is enough.. I know I am loved..

The first observance of Father’s Day actually took place in Fairmont, West Virginia on July 5, 1908.
It was organized by Mrs. Grace Golden Clayton, who wanted to celebrate the lives
of the 210 fathers who had been lost in the Monongah Mining disaster several months earlier
in Monongah, West Virginia, on December 6, 1907. In 1972, it became an official U.S. holiday.
Father’s Day is celebrated 3rd Sunday of June in USA, UK and on 1st Sunday of September in Australia.

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.
Bill Cosby
We may not shower him with praise, nor mention his name in song,
And sometimes it seems that we forget the joy he spreads as he goes along
But it doesn't mean that we don't know, the wonderful role that he has had.
And away down deep in every heart, there's a place that is just for Dad.....

A father is someone that holds your hand at the fair, makes sure you do what your mother says,
holds back your hair when you are sick, brushes that hair when it is tangled because mother is too ill,
lets you eat ice cream for breakfast but only when mother is away,
he walks you down the aisle, and tells you everything's gonna be ok
