Most Commented Family Poems (502)

Eyes that have cried and will do so no more
Reflect sadly at the child on the floor
A reminder of passion gone wrong
Even before the child's life had begun
Arms that had loving held the father yesterday
Reach for the child for a hug, a rock and a sway

Eyes that has so much to see tomorrow
Look trustingly into eyes filled with sorrow
And a mouth that yet a word to speak
Smile, a smile that left her mother weak
A mother we had nearly forgotten how to smile
Took comfort freely and innocently given for awhile

These two haven't had much in life so far
But with life they have started a war
One they must win, for a child loved dearly
By a mother who manages to feed her barely
"We will make it my darling" the mother whispered now
"I promise I"ll get us through this somehow."

Looking on no would guess the mother's story
She once had a life just shy of glory
Nor would one believe the child's a millionaire
Granddaughter of a wealthy family, the only living heir
That is the mother's secret as her trials she endure
She choose to keep her daughter and live poor

And though oftemtimes she tempted for her child's sake
Her promise to her child she will never break
Together they will make it through destiny
Loving her child unconditionally
Hoping to give her everything she deserves
Though often she had to dig inside for reserves

They fcuk you up,your mum and dad
They may not mean to,but they do
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra just for you

But they were fcuked up in their turn
By fools in old style hats and coats
Who half the time were soppy stern
And half at one anothers throats

Man hands on misery to man
It deepens like a coastal shelf
Get out as early as you can
And dont have any kids yourself

I love you like a mother loves a child;
a bond unknown
to the one who brought you here.

I miss you like the day misses the night,
the time where it can find it’s rest
and find the strength to shine again.

I fear you’ll leave me here alone
without the one I taught to walk
along a road so full of cracks that we both fell.

I feel that I’m losing you
through every covered crack,
through every part of you that doesn’t need me anymore.

I’ve loved you, since forever;
since I held your tiny fingers in my own,
and realised you were a part of me.

The lines are blurred, she’s left her mark;
but on you it’s fading so fast I barely see it anymore,
you’re moving on, but without me.

I beg you please wait, please turn around;
I’m here, don’t go - don’t leave me.
I need you, I just need you…to still need me.

MY LOVELY CHILD.

MY LOVELY CHILD I AM UR MOTHER

YOU ARE MY BREATH, HAPPINESS, HELPING HAND.

EVERY DAY I SEE U HOW DO PLAY WITH TOYS,

WITHOUT KNOWING HOW'S LIFE CHALLENGING.

JUST U KNOW HOW TO PLAY AND GET ANGRY WHEN U WANT EAT.

OH MY SWEET MY LITTLE BABY!

JUST U MAKE ME HAPPY, YOU MAKE MY EYES WITH HAPPY TEARS.

I HEAR UR VOICE SAYING TO ME-MAMA!

AND I SEE U MY LITTLE ANGEL!

YOU ARE MY HAPPINESS AND MY DREAM.

I wish I could sleep
my eyes open starring in the dark
listening to the noises and voices
now the telephone is ringing
shrill laughter is torturing my ears
someone turns the volume on the TV up
great, all I need is a headache
I close my eyes trying to transition
to a quiet, peaceful place
I pull my pillow over my head
I am so tired so tense so on edge
I toss and turn on my make shift bed
it feels like for hours and hours
Finally things seem to quiet down
My eyes closed my hands folded
I say a silent prayer
and slowly drift of to sleep

I DO LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS EARTH,
I GIVE MY TIME MY LOVE,MY LIFE TO THE ONE I LOVE..
I TURN MY BACK TO ALL MY FRIENDS & JUST BE WITH
YOU,

I NEVER THOUGH THAT I MAKE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE
OF MY LIFE....TO LOVE & WORSHIP YOU ...
THAT SOMEDAY MY LOVE FOR YOU IS KILLING ME.

HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO MY HEART?HEART THAT FULL OF GOODNESS
HEART THAT ONLY TO LOVING YOU IS MY MISTAKE?
I LOVE YOU..MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY!I EVEN DON'T CARE
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY..JUST..ALL I KNEW IS I ADORE YOU..
SEPARATION???DO YOU FEEL THE PAIN? OR..YOU ENJOY ..YOU USE
ME TO COVER YOUR ANGER TO ANOTHER LOVE...LOVE THAT YOU
HAVE EXPERIENCE ...NOW YOU BRING TO MY HEART & YOU MAKE ME
CRY AS WHAT YOU CRIED ON THE PAST..

DARLING...IT'S NOT ME THE ONE WHO MADE YOU CRY..
I LOVE YOU & I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU..
I OFFERED YOU MY LIFE..JUST TO SHOW MY LOVE TO YOU..
SEPARATION IS NOT MY WAY OF BEING FORGET THE ONE
I LOVE..

LEAVING ME IF YOU ARE HAPPY FOR THIS..
BUT REMEMBER..WHEN YOU ARE FAILED TO THE LOVE
YOU HAVE CHOOSE ..I'LL ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU..
YOU ARE THE LOVE THAT ..GOD..GIVE TO ME..

Colours Of Coincidence

The fierceness of the sudden downpour
had pedestrians scurrying for the nearest door,
and under trees, children screaming,
childish screams from the confines of adult coats
pulled snugly over young heads, already steaming.
I stood at my favoured window upstairs
my daughter Jennifer close by my side
arms tight round my waist protecting me
from the storm outside.
As suddenly as the hailstones had made a show
There appeared in front of us a double rainbow
with vivid colours as bright as Spring,
“Such a sight is a beautiful thing!”
Said a voice at my side in a whispery sound,
then she spoke the colours right out loud
as if somehow I couldn’t see
for a moment there was only Jennifer and me.
Yet, something in the tone of what she said
had me thinking of my parents, long since dead.
My daughter spoke to me again, “Dad do you know
the sun and rain don’t make a double rainbow
my Nan and Granddad make them glow!”
The colours brightened briefly then faded
leaving four moist eyes staring, not jaded!

This body will turn to dust
There’s nothing left
We can do no more
I’ve given it my best
So many high points
Not much room to spare
What gets the best of me
Every time beyond compare
A smile that greets me warmly
A hand when help is needed
A cocky smile all the while
Is better left conceded
The body will drown
When we’re cut off from air
Do we still do what we dare
Sometimes beyond compare
That delicate act the first time
I rode without training wheels
Down the somewhat smooth sidewalk
In my memory banks reveal
A time when I could feel
Such Joy ! Such Warmth !
Everyday is just a moment
Time will travel on
I just give you my greatest
Blessings of all time

Trick Of Time

High on my wall hangs that clock
whiskers twitching, tick tock, tick tock.
Like the patient face of a Buddhist cat
communicating only with what it looks at.
Unconcerned as to how many it has offended
yet many a broken heart has been mended
locked within that tick and in that tock
because of the healing power of that clock!

Stand to left of me and I will fight your foes.
Stand behind me and I will take the blows.
Stand to the right of me and I will fight your fears.
Stand in front of me and I will wipe your tears.

I will protect you from all things but one.
I cannot protect you from yourself, my son.
