Birthday Poems for Father-in-Law
Birthday Poems for Father-in-Law: Wondering how to wish your spouse’s dad a happy birthday? Don’t think of him as your husband’s or wife’s dad. Imagine how you would treat him if he were your own father. Take ideas from this post to create your own original rhyme which you can scribble out as a personalized greeting on a card. Send sweet texts, cute emails or funny posts on Facebook if you are not going to be able to meet the old man on his birthday. Even if you don’t bond well with him, his birthday is a good day to start building bridges in your relationship. After all, nothing in life comes close to the happiness that radiates from the chatter of a happy family.
1) A true gentleman
Sophisticated and wise
Full of warmth and care
And invaluable advice
Full of myriad experiences
A man who I respect
How lucky I am to have
A father-in-law so perfect
Happy birthday
2) Less of a father-in-law
More of a father you are
Even though you live miles away
You never seem as far
Distance and time never have
And will never come in the way
Take this as a hint and expect
Us to drop by for your birthday
Happy birthday
3) I look up to you
Not just because you gave me your daughter
Or because you have
Showered so much love on her
I also respect you because
You’ve treated me like your very own son
Apart from everyone else in the family
My heart too, you have won
Happy birthday
4) You have done everything
To prove to me
That you’re the best dad-in-law
There could ever be
Now the ball you have thrown
In my court, dear dad
I will do everything to ensure
That you are never sad
Not just because you have
Given away your daughter to me
But it is because in you
My second father I see
Happy birthday
5) Things may have changed a bit
Between me and your son
But to me you’ll always be
A father-in-law number one
Although our marriage has
With time, turned quite sour
But for me and the kids
You can never be too far
Your birthday, that is why
I will always remember
No matter the circumstances
We’ll always be tied to each other
Happy birthday
6) I had one role model initially
But now I have two
The first one being my dad
The other one being you
Just like I admire
My own father for his values
I have discovered admiration
And deep respect for you too
Happy birthday
7) A father-in-law means…
A person as cool as you
A person, open to things new
A person full of acceptance
A person who gives guidance
A person who is always there by your side
A person who in your work, takes pride
A person who you can think
Of being your real dad, without a blink
Happy birthday
8) Whether it is a weekend barbecue
Or a family reunion
Dad, without you
Neither would be fun
Whether it is Easter break
Or our Thanksgiving dinner
Without having you around
We wouldn’t feel better
Whether it is church on Sundays
Or taking kids to a carnival
In your absence, none of this
Would be memorable
Happy birthday
9) It took some time
For us to bond
But once that happened
Our ties became so strong
I realized, having made
An important discovery
Not just another dad
In you, I found a new buddy
Happy birthday
10) When I got married
I really never knew
That I would get an amazing
Father-in-law like you
If I knew about this
A lot earlier
I wouldn’t have wasted time
In marrying your daughter
Better late than never though
Is what they say
Raising a toast to which
I wish you a happy birthday
11) An ocean of knowledge
An institution of experience
A person whose heart holds
Love and care in abundance
A pool of sound advice
An ensemble of memoirs
My dearest father-in-law
You are a favorite of ours
Happy birthday
12) Always on my mind
Forever in my heart
I took fondly to you
From the very start
Since the day I got married
And came into this family
My favorite of all
I knew, you’d always be
Happy birthday
13) The reason why our family
Has such wonderful memories
The reason why my kids
Have such amazing qualities
The reason why we are
So sound and stable
The reason why we’re never
Afraid of any trouble
Is because we have
A wonderful dad like you
Your son and I
Wish a happy birthday to you
14) There was something that clicked
Between us when we first met
I wasn’t the only one feeling this
You must have felt it too, I bet
We liked each other instantly
Not just because we had to
But because it was a start
Of a friendship which was new
From that time, since today
My father-in-law you haven’t just been
You have a friend and confidante
The best one my life has seen
Happy birthday
15) Dearest dad-in-law…
I am glad our relationship
Is not boring and typical
I am happy that it is
Instead very special
A cliché stereotype
I’m glad we don’t stick to
And that you adore me
As much as I fondly love you
I am happy that we haven’t
Already been typecast
Our bond is genuine
And built to last
I hope that we always
Manage to stay this way
This is what I wish
On your birthday today
Happy birthday
16) If every son-in-law had
A father-in-law like you
None of them would
Ever be sad or blue
Meeting in-laws wouldn’t
Remain a tedious chore
It wouldn’t be a formality
Or a real bore
Thanks for becoming
More like father to me
And removing the word in-law
From my dictionary
Happy birthday
17) My kids love their granddad
My husband loves his father
My mother-in-law loves her husband
And rightly so, like him there is no other
Loved by everyone, this man
My father-in-law, happens to be
I wish him happiness and love
Not just for now, but for eternity
Happy birthday
18) I love having two fathers
Who mean different things to me
One who has nurtured me since birth
The other one being my new daddy
I feel very lucky and blessed
For having such amazing caretakers
Who will watch out for me
Not just now but forever
Happy birthday to the man
I call my daddy number two
I wish you have many more
Joyful years ahead of you
Happy birthday
19) I wish you the best
Of everything in your life
Lots of lovely vacations
To enjoy with your wife
I wish that the best of health
And wealth, come your way
For your well-being and safety
I will always pray
Just because you’re my wife’s dad
Is not why I wish well for you
I want the best for your future
Because you’re my dad too
Happy birthday
20) A cool father-in-law you are
That you have shown me
By being a dad, not just to your son
But also to his wifey
I have realized that it’s not just about
Being connected by legality
But sharing your lives with
Special people in your destiny
Happy birthday
21) By showing affection like a father
And concern like a friend
My father-in-law has proved
That he loves me to no end
By showing support like a mate
And the guidance of a mentor
My father-in-law has convinced me
That he loves more than his daughter
Happy birthday
22) Apart from the word in-law
There seems to be no disparity
Between you and my dad
Well, at least not to me
Both of them care a lot
And love me to no end
Both are my loving fathers
And also my best friends
Happy birthday
23) A person of your stature
Deserves a grand party
Attended by good friends
Accompanied by a fine bubbly
A person of your status
Deserves a standing ovation
For keeping us all together
Through all this duration
A person like you I think
Is a worthy example
To show all fathers-in-laws
How they too can be special
Happy birthday
24) The best father-in-law is the one
With whom you can have ball
Who thinks of you as a daughter
Not a daughter-in-law at all
He becomes special in your life
Not just because he treats you well
But because his love is so genuine
That in your heart he always dwells
Happy birthday
25) Dearest dad-in-law…
The way you are always around
To offer me your counsel
The way you are always there
My stress and worries to quell
The way you are ever present
To share my euphoria
The way you magically get
Rid of all my dilemma
Is enough to prove that you are
Nothing less than a real father
I will always love you
Now and forever
Happy birthday
