Fathers Day is just around the corner and if in case you don’t have any budget for a neat gift and treat, please don’t ever let it pass without heartfelt words spoken. Just when you know it’s going to be a gift-free occasion, a sweet fathers day card with your own messages, warm mobile greetings, an email or a tagged Facebook status would do in case your dad is away from you. This occasion is something you celebrate knowing you have a father or father figures around you that you really are thankful for and looking up to. This day is just for them- to be honored for their kindness, love and being a responsible “father”. He’s someone who would give up the luxuries of his own interest just to provide for the household’s needs. He’s someone who’d take less just to give much for his wife and especially the kids. That’s exactly how I see my own father too and I can feel he’s doing that not just because it’s his responsibility but because of his love for us.
A father’s love is immeasurable. What is expressing back our love towards them extra special on Fathers Day? Here’s some of the sweetest and nicest fathers day quotes, fathers day poems, fathers day messages,wishes, picture messages and greetings. Any of these will surely flatter and melt the hearts of our dear amazing fathers. Enough of the speechless thanks and instead send them your choice of warm greetings. Don’t forget to seal it with a hug and kisses!

Dad,
When I was born, you were there to catch me when I fall,
whenever and wherever.
When I said my first words, you were there for me, to teach me the whole dictionary if need be.
When I took my first steps, you were there to encourage me on.
When I had my first day at school, you were there to give me advice and help me with my homework.
I still haven’t finished school, or walked down the aisle or had my first child.
But I know you will be there for me through all these times and more, the good and bad.
So I just wrote this to say I love you Dad
-Louisa Mansfield
When I scratched my knee,
Or if I bumped my head,.
When I was afraid of the dark,
Or that thing under my bed,
When I cried in the night,
Or even in the day,.
You were there for me,
To make it all okay.
You tickled my feet,
And laughed at all my jokes.
You taught me to believe,
In having high hopes.
You are my father
You did what you had to do.
But more than a father
You are my friend too.
You made everything good,
That was once bad.
I just want you to know
I love you Dad.
-Jennifer S. Williams
Daddy, I Love You
Daddy, I love you
For all that you do.
I’ll kiss you and hug you
‘Cause you love me, too.
You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile ’cause I love you
On this Father’s Day.
