Birthday Card Message Suggestions for Dads /Fathers
*Don’t miss* the birthday poems further down.
1) It's not easy being a father. There are lots of roles to fill, But you excel in everyone. Happy birthday to the amazing man I am proud to call MY dad.
2)
You're the leader of our family,
And we all look up to you,
The teacher of what's right and wrong,
An example of what's true.
And on this day, your birthday,
The least that we can do
Is speak our hearts so clearly:
Dad, we all love you.
3) Happy Birthday, Dad. I'm really glad you were born Because if you hadn't been I wouldn't be here!
4) You're my teacher, my friend, My advisor, and my confidante. You've walked with me in baby steps, Through my teens and adulthood, And stood by me as my mentor, My pillar of strength and wisdom. I celebrate you every day, Dad. Have a perfect birthday.
5) Together, Dad, We have laughed and cried, Played and worked, and learned. So today, on your birthday, Let's celebrate All the things we've done together, And will do together For many birthdays to come.
6) (funny) Hey, Dad! Can I borrow the car? And, um, fifty bucks? And would you mind doing my chores? I gotta run out and get a birthday gift For the best dad in the world!!! (So, did the flattery work, or what?)
7) A father is more than a man. He's a son, too, and a husband, A friend and a colleague, A coach and a confidante, A pal and a defender. I guess I just got lucky To have YOU As my dad. Happy Birthday!
8) Dear Dad, I am sending this card to wish you a very happy birthday and to apologize. Now that I have a kid of my own, I understand how much trouble I gave you. My birthday wish for you is that my children give me a much harder time than I gave you and I still forgive them. Like you did. Love you, Dad!
9) (funny poem) Hey dad - I hope you don't get mad; But since it's your birthday, I'm going to bug you a tad. Remember when you told me to study and be good? It took a long time - all these years - before I really understood. So thanks for the great example that you gave to us all; Oh yeah, and while I have you softened up, I need cash for the mall.
10) Happy birthday to the role model of a man I aspire to be.
11) Happy birthday dad! My gift to you this year: I'm not putting you in a home!
12) Dad, you've always been there for me with guidance and support. I hope you have the best day, you're the best dad I could ask for.
13) I've said it in birthdays past, but it's important enough to repeat again and again. I love you for showing me how to be a man and for being the father I always need you to be, no matter what.
14) From changing diapers to teaching me to drive, you sure have done a lot for me so far. But one of the best things was showing me how to be a great dad!
15) From helping me with homework, to teaching me to handle heartbreak, you've always been there for me. I love you and hope you have the best birthday.
16) I have contested with myself whether or not to mock you on your special day. But I have remembered I need to appear in your will.
17) (Funny) Hey Dad, in case you forgot, it's your Birthday!
18) (Sweet) My Dad, My Hero
19) (Sentimental) You've taught me a lot and I can't thank you enough, Dad.
20) (Sweet) When I grow up, I want to be just like my Dad.
21) Nobody says fathering is an easy job and I didn’t make it easier so thanks for everything and enjoy your special day!
22) Dad, you took the time to teach me how to fish… but they always taste better when I get to catch them with you!
23) (Funny) Dad, just because it's your birthday doesn't mean you don't have to wear pants.
24) (Sweet) My Dad, my number one supporter. Love you lots!
25) What do you need? (let your Dad respond) I think you need an iron for you face!

Poem -
Some Dads have no hair
Some Dads are too square
Some Dads grizzle like a bear
and some Dads are never there.
BUT MY DAD...
... has great hair
My Dad is not a square
My Dad is like a teddy bear
and my Dad is ALWAYS there.

Dad, you're kind of a big dill
You're pearfect

You're one in a melon
I'm your biggest flan
Can you guess where I got my sense of humor?
I hope this isn't cheesy,
But I hope you have the grate-est birthday ever!
Poem for Sports-loving Dads -
Baseballs are white
Footballs are brown
It's your birthday, dad
So enjoy a night on the town
Enjoy being a little older, dad
I promise to let you sleep in one of these days
A Very Sentimental Poem -
You are the solid fortress in my life
a smiling knight in shining armor
a great philosopher and judge
a seasoned speaker since before
You are my towering strength
who vanquishes giants in one blow
who trods valiantly on monsters
and slays gallantly any foe!
You are my comforting voice
a friend who cares at all times
a pal who reprimands with love
a singing melody with rhymes.
Oh I thank God for you, my dad
for there is nothing more to fear
through ups and downs of life
you are always my daddy dear!
More happy years daddy!
