Top-Notch Father

Not many can have a father
Who’s half as great as you.
Others might try, but they fall shy
You’re a top-notch father, it’s true.

So that’s why on your birthday,
I want to make sure you know,
I admire you sincerely and love you dearly,
And those feelings continue to grow.

By Karl and Joanna Fuchs

This dad birthday poem is filled with admiration for dad, in a light way. 

You Da Man!

Ever since my life began,
I realized that "You da man!"
I saw your wisdom, your courage too,
And I learned I could rely on you.

Your tolerant nature was really great;
Nevertheless, you'd not hesitate
To let me know when I'd been bad;
It must have been hard, but that's being a dad.

You're strong and smart and filled with love--
A gift to me from up above,
So here's a greeting from your biggest fan:
Happy Birthday, Dad, 'cause "You da man!"

This dad birthday poem can be from either a man or a woman, by selecting one of the two options offered in parentheses.

To My Father, On His Birthday

Dad, I cherish your birthday,
because when you were born,
I got a role model
to show me how a man should be.
Especially on your birthday,
I compare (myself/other men) to you.
I (aspire to/look for) your strength
in making hard decisions
that can’t be avoided.
I appreciate your good character,
your respect for others,
your willingness
to lend a helping hand
even if it’s incovenient for you.
On your birthday,
I’m so very grateful for your love,
a fatherly love that gives me
purpose and direction

Dad, on your birthday, let me just say...
there are no words to express
how grateful I am that you were born
and that you are my dad.

By Joanna Fuchs

I wrote this dad birthday poem for my dad's ninetieth birthday, but you can make it your own for any milestone birthday, such as fifty, sixty, sixty-five, and so on. Substitute the correct number of years for "ninety." Divide the number of years into nine sections. So if it's for a 60th birthday, each of the eight stanzas have "Seven cheers" = 56, plus "Four cheers" for the last stanza = sixty.

Milestone Birthday

I'm glad I got to keep you as my dad
For all these days and months and ninety years.
You've been a special father all that time,
And now it's time to give you ninety cheers!

Ten cheers for loving me no matter what;
Ten cheers to you for making me behave;
Ten cheers for always being proud of me;
Ten cheers for the encouragement you gave.

Ten cheers for all the fun things that we did;
Ten cheers for always coming home at night,
Ten cheers for teaching me so many things;
Ten cheers for making childhood a delight.

And now this birthday poem is almost through,
So ten cheers, Dad, just for being you!

By Joanna Fuchs

Here's a birthday poem that's a birthday prayer for your father. It could be used in a card or be read aloud.

A Birthday Prayer for Dad

Dad, I'm praying a birthday prayer for you,
Peace and happiness in all you do.
Lord, my father gave his all for me,
I pray You'll hear my extra special plea:
Keep him safe so he can still be near;
Lord, my father is so very dear.
Role model, an extraordinary man,
He's my dad and I'm his biggest fan.
Dad, I'm praying to the Lord for you
That He will give you all the good you're due.
