Father's Day poetry is a warm and welcome gift. Most dads won't admit it, but thoughtful poetry from a child is a treasured gift, far more meaningful than traditional Father's Day presents like ties, coffee mugs or golf clubs.
A Unique Father's Day Gift Idea
If you're pressed for something special to do on Father's Day, try dressing up your poem with performance. Staging a reading is a fun way to present the poem to your Dad. To do this, gather your family together, then stand before them and read your poem aloud. After you finish reading the poem, present a copy of it to your dad. You can make a lasting gift by framing the poem, perhaps with a picture of your Dad.
If your father lives far from you, record the poem in a video or audio message. You can also send him a collage with pictures of the two of you and a copy of the poem.
It is a nice touch to write your own poem, but if you aren't especially poetic, one of these poems might express your feelings perfectly. You can find other poems by visiting your local library or looking for poetry sites online.

What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need.
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it... Dad
