Happy Father's Day by Tami Blackwell
Give 'em a hug, a great big kiss.
Because one day, he will be greatly missed.

My daddy has gone far away from this land,
I miss the precious touch of his loving hands.

I never knew last year was the last day,
I could look at my daddy, hug him, and say:
"I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!"

Don't let one day go by without telling him
how dear he is!
Remember you may not have another year to tell him this!

All I have now is great memories, a heart
full of love and eyes full of tears, and
to remember his love throughout the years.

Now I will have to look up at the stars and
say, "I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!"

Please remember when you pray, to thank your
heavenly father up above.
For your father he gave you with so much love.

"He lived, for Jesus died;
He died, for Jesus Lives."

This is a poem to make you appreciate your daddy.

I was very close to my father and I miss him very much. I wrote this on fathers day in 1993, the year after he died.

In Loving Memory Of My Daddy
William Randall Sartor

bubble I think that this poem says alot, I also lost my dad it will be 5 years in August and still to this day it is very hard to handle. For some reason this year it is hitting me pretty hard. I tell me husband all the time especially on Father's Day that he really needs to let is father know just how much he means to him. That not only goes for my husband, everybody needs to let their father know just how much they mean, and enjoy them while you have them because you never know just how much longer they will be around. - Brynn

bubble I loved this poem I lost my dad will be a year in june i never got to say bye I grew up in scotland and moved to the states so i didnt really get to see him that much but we talked on the phone almost every day I miss him so much thanks for sharing this poem - Ann
bubble the poem was great - michelle
bubble I strongly feel that this poem is the one Father's Day poem which would cause many who still have their fathers alive and well to be grateful that they are still around. In spite of the stubborn stereotypes surrounding fatherhood (and fathers, in general), I believe that this poem speaks the truth about the importance of the father in the family. Such an acknowledgment of fathers is terribly long-overdue! - Jolene

bubble i know how you feel i lost my daddy when i was 10. He was murder by 3 guyz over drugs. i miss my father very much and when i read your poem it made me think of my father and how he use to touch me and tell me everything was gonna be okay but to this day all i do have is tears i never had memories my dad was never home but i loved so dearly and its been 5 years but im still surviven so heres my advice to you keep your head up he dont wanna see your cry you wants you to proceed your dreams. - samantha
bubble My son lost his father almost a year ago. The last time my son and I saw his father was Father's Day. He died less than a month after that. This poem fits everything so well. My son misses his dad so much. I do too! We loved him very much and its sad to say but he never knew how much. He too thought no one loved him or believed in him. On 07/16/2004 - he suffered a seisure and died. Unexpectedly. Leaving us and the rest of the people who loved him. Thank you for this poem - it is excellent because it needs to let people know that we never know when our last time to speak, hug, talk or listen is. You never know when its too late. - Natasha
bubble I thank you for writing a poem in this form because I lost my son's father and I wanted to find a poem to help us live in memories of him. So thanks again - shanteria

bubble I lost my dad when i was 12, 12 days after my birthday. Well my parents were split up since i was like 6 or 7 so i never really got to see him but on weekends, but those weekends ment so much to me. anyways i never got the chance for him to hear me say goodbye and i love him because he was going brain dead at the hospital. This is why i love this poem - Rachel
bubble HeY!. I found this poem very touching because not long ago my father died in a tragic mine accident. It feels good to know im not alone! - Kim
bubble Thanks for writing this poem. I lost my dad to cancer at the age of 13. I miss him soo much. When I read this poem I had tears rolling down my cheeks because it touched me that much. This poem describes what I feel in words so perfectly. Thanks so much again! - Tiffany
