Short and Sweet Poems for Dad
1. My Super Dad
You don’t wear a cape,
Or fly in the sky,
But you’re my hero,
And that’s no lie!
You fix what’s broken,
And give the best hugs,
You’re full of advice,
And squash all the bugs!
2. Daddy, I Love You
You tickle my toes and tuck me in tight,
You read me stories every night.
You teach me to laugh, to learn, and to grow,
Daddy, I love you more than you know.
3. World’s Best Joke-Teller
Your jokes are corny,
Your dance moves too,
But no one makes me laugh
Quite like you!
You’re silly and sweet,
And strong like a bear,
You’re the best dad ever,
Beyond compare!

4. You Are My Sunshine, Dad
You are my sunshine on a cloudy day,
You cheer me up in every way.
From morning pancakes to bedtime tuck,
I love you more than a Tonka truck!
5. A Poem from Your Little Shadow
I follow your footsteps wherever they go,
You teach me so much and help me grow.
You’re patient and kind, and oh-so-smart
Daddy, I love you with all my heart.
6. A Big Hug in Words
If I could wrap these words around you tight,
You’d feel my hug from morning to night.
Thank you, Dad, for all you do
My heart is full because of you.

7. King of the Remote
Dad, you’re the king of the TV remote,
And the captain of the fishing boat.
You grill the burgers just right, no lie
But your dad jokes make me roll my eyes!
8. The Dad Nap
You nap with your mouth open wide,
With one sock on, lying on your side.
But when you’re awake, you’re pretty rad
Happy Father’s Day, you sleepy dad!
9. Dad’s Toolbox
Hammer and nails, a measuring tape,
You fix things fast without escape.
But when it comes to socks on the floor
You pretend you don’t see them anymore!

10. Thank You, Dad
Thank you for being my biggest fan,
For guiding me gently, hand in hand.
For the wisdom you shared, the love you gave
You’re the bravest man, strong and brave.
11. Forever My Father
You held me close when I was small,
And caught me when I took a fall.
You taught me lessons, big and true
And I’m the person I am because of you.
12. The Heart of Our Home
You’re the calm in the chaos, the laugh in our days,
The steady voice when we’ve lost our way.
You’re the heart of our home, through and through
And Dad, we’re all better because of you.
