A poem to John on Father's Day
He’s so many things to your children – coach, lifesaver, homework helper, all-round fan and supporter.
In honor of Father’s Day, I wrote this poem for my husband, John, and for all fathers who love their children and give the world its greatest gift … the future.
Please feel free to put my poem to the paper of your choice for a Father’s Day or Birthday card for him.
In return, please leave a comment below and, if you get a chance to read either of my novels, I would be honored. You can find them on amazon.com, at your local library and occasionally on eBay. –Janet
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
by Janet Lane
Being a dad is more than a day
More than a thank-you or annual display
Your laughter and caring, adventure and humor
So giving, befitting the honor of father
I couldn’t have picked a better man
To travel through life with our crazy clan
You’re my husband, my hero, and may I suggest
A wonderful father — the best of the best!

Hi, Brenna, I’m so gad you enjoyed my poem!
I just stumbled across the poem! Thank you so much for sharing. I was looking for the perfect way to express to my husband what he means to use – without being too cheesy – and you solved my problem. Have a lovely day.
That’s a great poem thank you so much for sharing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Hanna. It was written from the heart. 🙂 Wishing you a warm new memories during Father’s Day!
Thank you so much. This year I wanted to make a card for my special man and am terrible at verse. He is 67, a most loved father of 3, and is our rock. Your poem is absolutely perfect – thank you so much for the gift!!
Hi, Deb, and thanks for the heartfelt message. He sounds like a treasure, and thank you for calling my poem a gift. It is, but I hadn’t thought of it that way. Enjoy your special day with him!
I have spent the better part of an hour looking for a loving and kind poem for my husband for Father’s Day (because I am none too creative) and was astonished there weren’t more out there. Yours is wonderful! Actually very befitting of my husband. Thanks for giving permission to use it! I think he will love it!
Thank you so much, Nicole, and you’re welcome! Wishing you a fun day with him tomorrow!
Thank you very much for such a lovely poem. Wishing you and your family all the best!
