Especially when they volunteer to chaperon the Ball.

And we kids always look forward to your wonderful surprises.

A thought on Father’s Day

Here’s a thought on Father’s Day,

Thank you dad, for teaching me to pray.

Sometimes you were on your knees late at night,

Wondering when I’d be safe and back in your sight,

Now with my own children coming soon,

Is there room beside you in that prayer room?

Father, how did you do it?

Father, Father how did you do it?

To show amazing, unconditional love.

I still say I love you

A fun father is called a dad,

And you’re the best the best I ever had.

You may say, “I’m the only dad you ever knew,”

And although that statement might be true,

You made me happy when I was blue,

So that’s why I still say, “I Love You.”

Moms get so much credit, but you do your part

A Father’s day wish from the bottom of my heart,

Moms get so much credit, but you do your part.

Working hard from morning to night,

Sometimes later when you’re out of sight.

But you still found time to laugh and play,

So I wish you the Happiest Father’s Day.

Poem #21

A wish for Dads far and wide,

From the big cities, to the quite countryside.

What makes you all so very unique,

Is how you spend your busy week.

Some work in an office or on the assembly line,

But every dad is greater when he gives his time.

Dad, you’re my hero, strong and bold,
But your dance moves, they’re a sight to behold.
You try to be cool, but oh, what a laugh,
When you bust a move, it’s like a giraffe.

With socks and sandals, your signature style,
You rock the dad jokes that make us smile.
You’re the king of barbecues, a grill master supreme,
But when it comes to dancing, Dad, it’s quite the meme.

Poem #23

You funny dad, you’re a hit

Dad, you’re the master of jokes,
With puns and one-liners that evoke,
Laughs and eye-rolls, a mixed emotion,
But we wouldn’t have it any other way, no commotion.

On this special day, we honor your wit,
Happy Father’s Day, you funny dad, you’re a hit!

To the raddest dad, both cool and kind,
On this epic day, you’re always on my mind.
Your jokes and pranks, always a laugh,
A master of fun, with a playful craft.

Through ups and downs, you’ve been my guide,
With you, I can surf any wild tide.
Happy Father’s Day, to the ultimate dad I know,
Forever grateful for the joy you continue to bestow.

Dad, my mighty knight

Dad, you’re a superhero, my mighty knight,
Your love and support, a beacon of delight.
With a belly laugh that shakes the ground,
You turn every frown into laughter profound.

Your bear hugs squish me, but I don’t mind,
In your embrace, warmth and love I find.
Happy Father’s Day, to the world’s funniest dad,
You bring joy and laughter, making us glad!

Daddy, my giggly guru

Daddy, you’re my giggly guru, so sky-high,
You rescue me when I trip, reaching for the sky.
Your goofy bear hugs and witty jests make me beam,
With you, every tick-tock brings a whimsical dream.

Happy Father’s Day, to the raddest dad in town,
I’m forever grateful, our bond is tightly wound.

You snore like a champion

Dad, your fashion sense is quite a scene,
Those high socks and sandals, so pristine.
Your jokes are cheesy, yet you never cease,
To make us groan and laugh in disbelief.

You snore like a champion, loud and clear,
Shaking the windows, causing quite the fear.
But despite it all, we love you so,
Dad, you’re the best, even with your quirks in tow!
