Father’s Day Poem Celebrating Fatherhood

Father’s Day Poem: Poem Celebrating Dad and Father’s Day – Father’s Day is not as respected and popularly observed as Mother’s Day. There is a simple reason for this. Although almost everyone has difficult issues with their mothers, there is no doubt as to their mother’s love. The same is not true for fathers. Because men have a more difficult time expressing their feelings to their children, many children go through life with the mistaken notion that their fathers don’t love them. This is a tragedy because fathers generally love their children dearly and often work long hours so that they can raise their children in comfort.

Father’s Day Poem: Mary Frances Bogle

Over the years, As we grow old,
We remember our father, So brave and bold.

In the garden, Leaning on the plow,
He would listen to me; I see him now.

He would give advice, And understand;
He was always there, To lend a hand.

God made fathers, Strong and firm,
For he knew our lives, Would have great concerns.

So he gave us fathers, To teach us to pray,
And guide our lives, And show us the way.

So on his day, Let’s take the time
To say “Thanks, dad. I’m glad you’re mine.”
