And never touch the ground.
I am growing stronger too
With each passing hour.
I can even save the day
With my superpower
Dad’s arms help me reach
The things I cannot touch
His love and guidance carry me
I look up to him so much
Even when I am grown up
I know I will be glad
That I have my own superhero
My best friend, my Dad.

When your strong arms hold me tight
When you cuddle me so gentle
As I fall asleep at night
When I grow up and become my own
I know this much is true
When I need some strength
I’ll think of the love I found in you.

To guide them as they grow

Fathers are wonderful people: This is a poem that expresses the father being understood. Especially meant for busy fathers, to let them know how much children value what he does. It is a long poem that can be either written in letter form or can be recited.
Fathers are wonderful people,
Too little understood,
We do not sing their praises
As often as we should.
A father struggles every day
To live up to his image
As protector and provider
The hero of the scrimmage.
Perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion
That fathers are not subject
To the thing, we call emotion.
If you look inside a father’s heart,
Where no one else can see,
You’ll find he’s sentimental
And soft as he can be.
Fathers are just wonderful
In a million different ways,
They merit loving compliments
And accolades of praise.
The only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make his family proud of him
And bring them happiness.
Just like our heavenly Father,
He’s a guardian and a guide,
The person we can count on
To always take our side.

You lighten up my day with your smile that is so bright,
Thanks to you we might not even require the stars at night.
Cause the stars are right there into your eyes,
Mom fell in love with them, is definitely no surprise.
You are the most handsome man I have ever met,
With a heart just as amazing, Daddy you are perfect.
12. Children need a Daddy- Nicholas Gordon
This poem tells dads how important they are in their children’s life. You can write this down for your father to pin up in the house!
Children need a Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding them high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells them all is right
When they awaken frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in their hearts
And shows them how they might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving them the love
That is their sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
They’ll always find him there.
