Craft this special Father’s Day Paintbrush Poem for the Dad that colors your life with bright spots. It’s a useful paintbrush that can be accompanied by a can of paint if there is a special project in mind. You might even tell Dad that you’d love to help (especially if it’s your room) and buy an extra paintbrush for yourself.  This Father’s Day Paintbrush Poem makes a useful gift very special.
