5 Happy Father’s Day Poems

Father’s Day is important, and like any other holiday, is always right around the corner! Now, you may think that poems are better for moms than they are for dads, but dads really appreciate the sentiments and feelings that come along with poems as well! Instead of simply signing a card, you should think about including Happy Father’s Day poems as well.

Happy Father’s Day Poems

When it comes to including a poem on a special occasion, your best bet is to write your own because it shows that you really took the time to spend on the special person, and it speaks as to the amount of inspiration they have given you!

Okay, we’re not all great poets, but we don’t have to be! If you’re looking for some ideas, here’s a few Happy Father’s Day poems that will touch Dad’s heart as well as any you write yourself.

Such a Man

You held me on your arms
and carried me on your shoulders.
Everyday in your heart
as I kept growing older.

Now that I’m grown and away,
I’ve used the tricks you taught me.
Spreading my wings, flying so high
being thankful for all the times you’ve caught me.

Dad, you are such a man
for staying in my life,
showing me the strings to everything
and teaching me to do what’s right.

Now that I’m a man myself
with children of my own,
I look back and remember my Dad
and all that I was shown.

F-A-T-H-E-R

F is for the fearlessness that you’ve always shown.
A is for how awesome you are in everything you know!
T is for time we spent, quality indeed.
H is for the happiness I always felt in me!
E if for everything that you ever did for me.
R is for remembering good times spent with family!

A Father’s Day Wish

Over the moon, I’ve always been with you
for being such a wonderful dad.
A provider, a protector, a wizard of all
something that many wish they had!

Today is a day, dedicated to you
For everything you have done
to raise your kids and overcome
all the obstacles, many-a-ton!

Cheers to you, my dad
in the most special way.
I wish you the very best
on your Father’s Day!

Memories Shared

Simple songs and sing-alongs,
parodies on the guitar.
Laughter filling the air
as we count our lucky stars.

Although you were away a lot working hard
to provide for us the best you can,
it’s the good times that I recall
all the special memories we share.

Making music in the living room,
family on the set,
is my favorite memory to recall,
definitely one of the best ones yet!

You’ve given me so much more
than many fathers do.
So this is my big thanks,
and Happy Father’s Day to you!

Thanks Dad

Tools, repairs, and home affairs.
Teaching me how to be a man.
Building, fixing everything
and giving me a hand.

Fast food dates and staying up late,
not wanting time to pass us by.
Though it seems no time has passed at all,
it’s taken us all by surprise.

Thanks to you and all you did
to keep us happy and afloat.
I’ve always said if you ran for president,
you’d surely have my vote!

Happy Father’s Day!

If you are planning any kind of party of barbeque for Father’s Day, use it as the perfect opportunity to read it aloud for all of the dads present, but with a special dedication to your own. He’ll certainly feel good being in the spotlight, and you’ll feel good putting him there because he deserves all the spotlight he can get!

Cute Christian Mother’s Day Poems

You have touched your mom’s heart since the day she knew about you, and then when she laid eyes on you, forget it! She was captivated by the little miracle that lay in her arms and knew that she was now on a lifelong journey, giving her a woman’s greatest purpose. Flash forward to Mother’s Day. Giving her a gift that touched her heart as deeply might just be impossible, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try!

Christian Mother’s Day Poems

When it comes to gift-giving on Mother’s Day, one need not to look further than writing Christian Mother’s Day poems! Not only will they touch a mother’s heart in places a store-bought gift can’t touch, but she will cherish it forever! Now, there are a few ways to go about giving Christian Mother’s Day poems as gifts:

  • On paper: The traditional way to write poems is simply by hand on a piece of paper. Sign and date it!
  • In a card: A card is a must on Mother’s Day, so if there is empty space on one of the sides of the card, feel free to fill it in with the poem!
  • In a frame: Typing the poem and printing it out on a nice piece of stationary, followed by framing it makes for a really nice keepsake gift that she can hang forever! My favorite.
  • A recording: There’s devices you can buy or even a stuffed animal that can record your voice. This is precious because your mom will always have your voice to hear!

Writing Christian Mother’s Day poems can be hard, so I wrote a few for you to read as examples and hopefully it will stir up some inspiration for you! You can also find some inspiration by reading through these Bible verses about mothers.

My Angel

A Mom is an angel
sent from above,
hand picked by God
to give us His love.

She shines so bright,
love from Holy light.
She makes the wrongs right,
even at night!

My mom is my angel.
Oh, yes she is!
She is loved by me,
she is loved by Him.

I Call Her Mom

Moms have a special place
in our hearts forever.
They guide us through the wildest journey
and manage to keep themselves together.

With the strength of a thousand men
and through the power of God,
a woman made a choice to keep me.
I love her, I call her MOM!

MOTHER

Most beautiful and
Optimistic person
There is.
Her strength is
Eternal, given by Him.
Rejoice! Hallelujah and thank you, Jesus!

God’s Creation

If it wasn’t for God, we wouldn’t exist.
He made us all, and there’s one thing he wouldn’t miss.
The qualities of a mother, and all it takes
to raise His children in his created place.

He knew just what he was doing. Oh, yes he did.
For when he made woman to care for kids
He gave her strength, He gave her patience,
He gave her unconditional love, oh what a special creation!

Thank you, God, for making mothers so amazing
I’m especially thankful for mine and all she’s done raising me!

A Choice Love

(A Poem for Adoptive Mothers)

A woman made the choice to love me
and then became my mother.
Even though she didn’t birth me,
I couldn’t pray for another!

She took me under her angelic wing
and raised me as her own.
If it weren’t for her, who knows where I’d be?
A “what if” that will remain unknown.

I owe it all to this amazing woman
who, by the grace of God
Took me in and taught me well.
Adopted moms, I applaud!

If you really need inspiration to write some good poems, though, one must look no further than their mother! After all, a mom’s abilities to do all that they do are astounding and clearly a gift from God, just as you were to her.

5 Valentine’s Day Poems for Kids

Writing Valentine’s Day poems is a nice way to tell someone that you love them. It’s a sweet thing to write in homemade cards, especially when it comes to puppy love!

Valentine’s Day Poems

Valentine’s Day poems are only a good way to tell someone how you feel, but it shows that instead of taking the easy route by getting a store bought gift, you instead spent time thinking about them! Writing a Valentine’s Day poem is the perfect gift for the ones you love, and also works great for making cards to hand out in class!

Short and sweet is usually the way to go, so here are some short Valentine’s Day poems that are sweet, indeed!

It’s Valentine’s Day!

It’s Valentine’s Day!
You know what that means?
Hugs and kisses and lots of candy!
Exchange Valentine’s Day cards
in class at school
and getting many back,
hey, that’s pretty cool!

It’s Valentine’s Day!
The day of love
because of that cupid guy
shooting arrows from above.
So let’s sit back and have fun
While we smile and cheer

Happy Valentine’s Day!
The candy rush is near!

Favorite Valentine’s Day Things

Chocolates and flowers and butterfly kisses.
Hearts all around and lots of love wishes!

Who knew all the joy Valentine’s Day brings?
These are a few of my favorite things!

When the arrow strikes, you feel the love bite
There’s no room to be mad!

I think of all of these Valentine’s Day things
And I don’t ever feel bad!

I Love…

I love Daddy, my first Valentine.
I love Mommy because she made Daddy mine.
I love Brother because I’m supposed to.
I love Sister because she’s who I’m close to.

I love Grandpa because he calls me bug!

Love To The Stars

What is Valentine’s Day?
There’s so much to say!
It is certainly a really happy day!

People show love.
People kiss and hug.
Cupid sent from up above!

We give gifts
but that’s not what it’s about.
It’s one nice bonus!

So never pout
if you don’t receive something
Because loved, you still are
Very much so

I love you to the stars!

Valentine’s Exchange

Winner, winner
of my heart
How I love you so!

My heart aches
oh so much
Whenever I have to go

To school, back home
away from you.
Please tell me you’ll be mine!

On this lovely day I say,
let’s exchange
our Valentines!

Of course, you can always change the format to compress them down a bit so that they appear shorter, if you are pressed for space. Or, if you prefer, you can write it on a piece of paper, fold it up, and place it in the card that way!

Be Sweet With Candy

If you are writing poems for Valentine’s Day, then chances are, you are already making cards by hand! That in itself is really sweet. To be extra sweet, be sure to include some candy!

You can even use those cute conversation hearts as decoration to embellish the cards, gluing them on with an edible glue using water and meringue powder. You want to make a good and sweet impression, so make it the best surprise that you can!

Funny Valentine’s Day Poems for Kids

Funny Valentine’s Day Poems are the perfect for children to write in their handmade Valentine’s cards. Whether it’s for a mother, father, sibling, friend, or crush, we have you covered!

Kids often come up with their own funny Valentine’s Day poems all on their own. If you’ve ever heard the saying “kids say the darndest things,” then you should read some of the poems that come out of those genius little brains of theirs!

Here are a few examples of funny Valentines Day poems that would be perfect for those sweet, little Valentines Day cards they like to hand out:

For Mom

Mom, you are the best,
the sweetest there is around.
Whenever I am sad
you turn that frown upside down!

I love you so much
and just wanted to say
to my very first valentine,
Happy Valentine’s Day!

For Dad

Daddy, there’s no one like you
To put a smile on my face
Make me giggle oh so much
while you tickle me all over the place!

Daddy, you are so special to me.
I am a daddy’s girl, it’s true
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Nobody can ever replace you.

For Grandparents

You are my grandparents
therefore I am blessed,
because you gave me parents
who are truly the best!

I love you guys with all my heart
Happy Valentine’s Day,
I totally made you this card!

For Friends

Valentines day is not only for lovebirds
But for friends we love, too!
I would be a complete wreck each day
if it weren’t because of you!

Thank you, bestie,
for always being by my side
I love you always!
You are my bestie Valentine!

For Crush

Hearts are red
The sky is blue
Have I ever mentioned
How much I REALLY like you?

I think about you often,
actually all the time.
So I ask you this:
Will you be my Valentine?

For Sibling

If it weren’t for the constant squabbles
and calls for attention from Momma
I wouldn’t have to lock myself inside my room
and write letters to Obama!

Then again, if it were all quiet
Things would seem so boring
Thanks for being a great brother/sister
Now can you put a stop to your snoring?!

One, Two S’mores

One, Two, happy Valentines Day to you!
Three, four, let’s make some s’mores!
Five, six, let’s take some pics.
Seven, eight, soulmates!
Nine, ten, let’s make s’mores again!

Writing Your Own Poems

If your child needs help writing, here’s some brainstorming tips that will help them along:

  • Who they are writing for: Have them focus on the person they are making the card for. Instruct them to write out a few different words that describe how they feel about this person. Come up with words that rhyme and then let them use their own creativity to put them in sequence!
  • Valentine’s things: Give them a few words that are related to Valentine’s Day, such as love, hearts, roses, chocolate, happy, etc.
  • Use gifts: If they made or bought a gift for someone special, have them look at and think about the gift and perhaps it can help them write their poem.
  • Give them a snack: While they are writing, having something to snack on might help them focus. It’s always hard to write when you’re hungry!

They will be on their way to writing the perfect Funny Valentine’s Day poems in no time!
