Father’s Day Prayer

Father’s Day Prayer

Lord, please bless our fathers,
these men who mean so much to us,
who are greatly responsible
for who we are and who we are becoming.
Bless them for having the courage
to do what’s necessary to keep us out of trouble,
for making us do the right thing,
for helping us build our character,
even when it makes us angry,
and bless them for pushing us to do our best,
even when they just want to love us.

Bless our fathers for being our protectors,
for leading us through stormy times to safety,
for making us believe that everything will be all right
and for making it so.
Bless our fathers for quietly making a living
to provide for those they love most,
for giving us food, clothing, shelter
and other necessary and not so necessary material things,
for unselfishly investing time and money in us
that they could have spent on themselves.

Bless our fathers, Lord,
for saving some energy for fun,
for leading us on adventures
to explore the outer reaches of ourselves,
for making us laugh,
for being our playmates and our friends.
Bless them for being our secure foundation, our rock,
for holding on tight to us...until it’s time to let us go.
Lord, bless these men we look up to,
our role models, our heroes,
our fathers.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

My Father Is A Christian

My Father Is A Christian

My father is a Christian,
He leads our household well,
With instruction from the Bible,
Right behavior he’ll compel.

Yet he steers us with compassion,
His gentle love is true,
He conforms to our Lord Jesus,
So we know just what to do.

He teaches us with purpose,
Guides us in all Godly ways,
So we will take the right path,
And serve our Lord with praise.

I’m glad you’re a Christian, Dad,
You help me see things clearly.
I’ll always look up to you,
And love you very dearly.

We Can’t Believe You’re Gone

We Can’t Believe You’re Gone

Dad, our sadness knows no end,
We can’t believe you’re gone,
We’re grieving for you every day,
It’s hard to carry on.

You were always there to support and care,
When we needed a true friend,
How we’ll ever do without our dad,
We cannot comprehend.

You were our teacher and our guide,
Our dad, so good and strong,
Your example will sustain us now,
And last our whole lives long.

We’re trying to communicate,
We hope that you can hear,
Expressing what we feel for you,
Helps us feel you’re near.

Our memories of the times we had
Help the pain to go away.
But Dad, our lives won’t be the same;
We’ll miss you every day.

A part of us went with you,
You left a gap too big to fill,
You’re our father and our hero,
We love you and we always will.

A Poem for My Father In Law

A Poem for My Father In Law

When I married I got a new dad,
A special father in law,

And a little bit in awe.

You're a man who cares,
With an understanding heart.
You're also filled with wisdom;
No wonder my spouse is smart!

Thanks for being so cordial,
Thanks for welcoming me,
It feels really good to be part
Of your special family.

My Special Joy

My Special Joy

A grandfather is a special blessing
enriching the life of a grandchild
with unique and incomparable joys.
Grandpa, you are my special joy.
I get a warm, safe, contented feeling
when I think of you.

With you, I feel no pressure to be
what someone else wants me to be;
you love me enough to let me be me.
You're never in a hurry,
you always take time to listen and to help.
You are always there for me when I need you,
You're never too busy for talks, for walks.

I can count on your wisdom,
your life experience,
your understanding heart
to help me comprehend and get through
challenges you've already faced.
You are part parent, part teacher,
part best friend.

Your strength and your easy, calm confidence
is your legacy to me,
and I love you dearly.

I'd Pick You

I'd Pick You

Dad, if all the fathers
Had lined up one by one,
And God told me to pick,
I'd still choose to be your son.

I'm proud to have a father
Who listens and understands,
Who teaches me and sets fair rules
Without unfair demands.

Dad you are my hero,
My role model in all you do.
So Dad, if I could pick again,
You know I'd still pick you!

It’s My Father

It’s My Father

Do you know who I want to be like?
It’s not Roosevelt, Reagan or Ike.
It’s my father.

Who taught me to drive and skate?
Who taught me to care and not hate?
It’s my father.

The man I’ll respect till I die,
Who taught me always to try,
It’s my father.

He was never too busy for me,
He’s my ideal man, totally.
My father!

Thanks for being a wonderful father, Dad!

Everything Dad

Everything Dad

A little girl needs her daddy
To love her with manly charm,
To soothe her when she’s hurt,
And keep her safe from harm.

A girl needs her dad
To show her a man who’s good,
To help her make right choices,
As only a father could.

A woman needs her father
Just to be aware,
He’ll always be there for her
To sustain her and to care.

You’ve been all these things, Dad.
I hope that you can see
How much I treasure you,
You mean everything to me.

Always There For Your Daughter

Always There For Your Daughter

Every day the whole year through,
I feel grateful you are my father.
Some fathers don't have time for their kids,
But for you I'm never a bother.

You always make the effort to listen and share;
You're there whenever you're needed.
Because I know how much you care,
My problems are all defeated.

Dad, you are truly admired and adored,
And I hope you always know,
Your daughter's affection for you is strong,
And my love continues to grow.

Happy Fathers Day!

Father Daughter Dance Song

Father Daughter Dance Song

My daddy was my hero
For my very youngest years;,
Daddy kept me safe and happy,
And he chased away my fears.
I watched in awe and wonder
At each manly thing he did,
Oh, I looked up to my daddy,
When I was a little kid.

My dad was still my hero,
As the years passed, one by one.
He taught important lessons,
And he took some time for fun.
He was my firm foundation,
On my dad I did depend,
He was always there for me,
My dad, my guide, my friend.

My father is my hero,
Now that I am fully grown.
I love him and respect him,
The best man I've ever known.
I knew when I would marry
That my husband had to be
A great man, just like my father,
Dad, my hero you'll always be.

If Everyone Had a Father Like You

If Everyone Had a Father Like You

If everyone had a father
Who was more like you,
There'd be more laughing, joy and singing,
Fewer people would be blue.

There'd be much more understanding,
Crime and hate could not prevail.
We'd all be so contented,
We wouldn't need a jail.

If everyone had a father
Who was more like you,
The whole world would be blessed,
Just as I am blessed with you.

A Real Father

A Real Father

It’s not so common anymore
to have a dad who’s really there,
who is the provider for his family,
who comes home every night,
whose predictability
creates a sense of stability and security

in his household.
Your routine may not seem valuable to you,
but it’s worth a lot to me.
I’m thankful that I can depend on you
to always be you
a real father,
responsible, trustworthy,

and a great role model.
I’ve learned a lot of good things
from watching you.
Thanks, Dad.

My Father, My Guiding Light

My Father, My Guiding Light

Dad, you’re like the sun to me,
a sure thing, always there,
beaming light and warmth on my life.
Whatever is good in me today,
I owe to your wisdom, your patience,
your strength, your love.
You taught me by example,
as a role model,
how to be my own person,
how to believe in myself,
instructing me without controlling me.

Even when we disagreed,
you held us together,
so our bond was never broken.
I understand what you did for me,
and I am so grateful that I have you
as my solid foundation, my rock.
I respect you, I admire you, I love you,
my guiding light, my father.
