With all the beautiful words, I’ve not yet learned to say how I love you…”I do love you, with all my heart, I adore you truly.”
These perfect days we spend in love have me spellbound. What more is there to life? There is only you. I wish only that we never part… and that I die; before you.
by Antwone Fisher from Who Will Cry for the Little Boy?
Dear Dad,
Today is Father’s Day, putting up all of these great Father’s Day poems have made me miss you even more. Father’s Day is a little bit easier, I don’t have to think about you so much. I am now a Father and have my own son to celebrate it with. I wish you would of been able to see him. He is so beautiful, you would of loved him so much. I am very proud of him, just as you were of me.
Happy Father’s Day.
This poem I wrote a long time ago, and have already published here. I thought I would again just for this occasion.
In Everything, I Find You
I’ve been reading about you every day
each story is different
but in my heart its all the same.
A loss so great with little reward
you brought the family together, after breaking our hearts
It’s impossible to miss you more,
but each day I do.
Each day theres some memory fresh and new
that brings me back thinking about you.
My father, my friend, my protector
My laugh, my smile, my trust
My eyes, my tears, my brain
My humor, my heart, my kindness
My life…
Your reflection…
and theres no one else I’d rather be

This is a beautiful poem that any Father would cherish.
What Makes a Father
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,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it “DAD”
With Father’s Day coming up, I thought we would put up some great poems about Dads.
Life Lessons
You may have thought I didn’t see,
Or that I hadn’t heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we’d grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It’s written on my heart.
Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be
The person I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I’ve grown up with your values,
And I’m very glad I did;
So here’s to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

In The Event of My Demise
In the event of my demise
When my heart can beat no more
I hope I die for a principle
Or a belief that I had live for.
I will die before my time,
Because I feel the shadow’s depth
So much I wanted to accomplish
Before I reached my death.
I have come to grips with the possibility
And wiped the last tear from my eyes
I loved all who were positive
In the event of my demise!
by Tupac Shakur
For Always, GoodBye
Goodbye.
For the pain I have lived with.
For all the time of my unhappiness.
Goodbye.
For the pain that was bestowed upon me.
For never being truly happy.
Goodbye.
For always losing the fight.
For never being right.
Goodbye.
For leaving me when I was down.
For always turning my smile into a frown.
Goodbye.
For not caring when I came to you.
For never making your lies come true.
Goodbye
For not comforting me when I’d cry…
For letting me die.
Goodbye…
Dreams of Happiness
Sunset, such a beautiful sight
The sun, the only light
Cuddling under a blanket to try to keep warm
Nothing every seeming out of the norm.
Are you happy? Of course…
Only smiles beaming from your face
Wouldn’t you too, like to be in this place?
Nothing else on your mind, but the joy of another
Not a care in the world… you are free
Too good to be true, this land of ecstasy.
Wake up, it’s all a dream
You can never be this happy it would seem
The sun doesn’t show through
The world is a cold blue
A dark cloud hovering
Hoping to some day break free
Free from the pain
With happinnes to gain.
When will the sun come out?
When will the rain of tears drought?
When will the smile be true?
When can I be happy, with you.
by Matthew Henrickson
I recently checked out Tupac Shakur’s book of poetry, The Rose That Grew from Concrete. All in all the poems were good, but I had a few favorites.
The Tears in Cupid’s Eyes
The day you chose to leave me
It rained constantlly outside
In truth I swore the rain to be
The tears in Cupid’s eyes.
Cupid’s Smile II
I ran outside to feel the rain
and I stayed outside awhile
When the rain was done, along came the sun
and that was Cupid’s smile!
The two poems are short, but catchy and have to go together.
“You – My Life”
I never knew what loneliness was
Until I lost you
I didnt understand pain
A pain like this
Until you hurt me
I didnt know what love was
Until I loved you
I didnt have a life
Until you became mine
Our Famous Love
I listen to music
Get hooked by the chorus
I can only picture that being you and me
It’s like the song was written for me
And I should be singing it to you
As the lyrics flow
Its our story,
Almost word for word.
I see the television shows
Get hooked by the story line
It’s like the actors are us
Almost word for word
The plot unfolds
And it reveals… our story.
I watch movies
Get hooked by the love story
And see us
It’s ours
Almost scene for scene
And now I’m just waiting
For our happy ending.
by Matthew Henrickson
This is a short poem, but I think it’s pretty creative and was looking for it to share with you. Please share your thoughts and comments.
