Most Commented Family Poems (502)

When earthly life is lost
do we go across
the rainbow bridge to wait
reunited, at later date.

Over great lengths of time
memories shared, yours-mine
That cannot be erased
warming moments, many days.

Over weeks-months-years
through smiles and many tears
Until the day we again join
another side, of the same coin.......

have no answer
loop in endless circles.
make no sense to me

and yet I have hope for a miracle.
hope for tomorrow
that I could have a family

and yet this family well
be not perfect
we well have fights, spilled juice
broken cars , empty wallets

and yet when I pray
could it all get better today ?

"Daddy?
What is that?"
"It's nothing Sweetie,
Now go to bed."

"But Daddy?
I still hear it!"
"Listen young lady,
Now do what I said!"

"Daddy?
Do you love me?"
"Oh honey,
You know that I do."

"Then Daddy?
Please tell me,"
"Yes Princess?"
"Please tell me the truth."

"I told you it's a cat,
Or a squealing mouse,
That umm...,
That cat's about to crunch."

"Be careful or,
He might just,
Just might,
Have YOU for lunch!"

"Not funny,
Dummy Daddy!
Sounds just like,
A girl who's hurt and crying."

"I told you,
You stupid little brat,
It's just that ugly fu*kin' mouse,
Screaming out as it's dying!"

"Daddy?,
Do you still love me?"
"Please, Sweet Pumkin,
You know doggone well that I do."

"Then Daddy?
Please tell me,
Why you won't just,
Won't just tell me the truth?"

kiss me by the stars
and make me understand
that the dreams called love
are in everbodys hand

I simply adore you my first true love.

You built the foundation of love and fear within me.

Before you were born I was fearless and strong about anything

Then you came, I became vulnerable, weak to the notion that if something happened to you

My world would simply crash. .vanish and I would simply crumble. ..

Yes, you taught me the true meaning of love. ..my world changed
For the better because of you

Believe it or not, but that was my truth then

And still remains the same.

You might not hear from me everyday, but know that I always think of you.

I love you. .

I lie in wait for what? My death, his death, their death?
I dug my hole so deep have I done this so I can’t peep
Or maybe I dug deep so I would R.I.P
Another bang another scare someone cries while another one dies
The skies a glare with red and yellow flares
Is it too late to find the God I ignored for so long to save my retched soul, is it, is it, is it?
With all the weapons at my disposal to kill and mane my fellow man, to leave his children without a father, a wife without a husband, a mother and father without a son
Why should it be me, why should it be me, why, why, why?
My father was a great man, taught me right from wrong
He taught me love was the way forward he told me that fighting was for the weak
He used to say “The stronger man would walk away” where are you dad today?
I see my father’s eyes the night he passed away fighting an unseen enemy that crept up to him and ate him away, maybe a bullet to my head tonight would be best instead of that cancerous disease that took my father away.
The lights have stopped the bombs have ceased a new day dawns it’s time to feast
So now it’s time to call back home to a wife that still has a husband my children that still have a dad
and a mum that still has a son.

In Our House...
We Are REAL....
We Make Mistake
We Say Sorry...
We Give Second Chances
We Have Fun....
We Give Hugs...
We Forgive.....
We Pray........
We Love........
We Are Family..

I know you love me.
Oh no. You didn’t.
You only love him.
All for him.
All about him.
I know you love me.
But you’ve never lent your arms to me.
Heaven knows when I cried.
Hell knows when I put myself into the darkest night by myself.
I know you love me.
For sure, I mean nothing to you.
I know where I belong.
I know where I come from.
But I’d never belong to you.
I know you love me.
You did care but it wasn’t you.
It wasn’t for me.
Or am I just a mistake to you?
To be your daughter ?
Am I just that bad?
I’ve never gotten a forehead kiss from you.
Not even just a hug.
I know you love me.
But truth showed me everything.
That you left me no choice to hate you.
I’ve been trying to understand.
But it keeps repeating again and again.
God knows I've tried.

On one of those days, you tend to cruise
Doing chores, just the ones you choose
Stress not a factor, taking your time
At one with the universe, all is fine

Trying to keep warm, though outside
The scene is still, no nature rides
On a breeze, this dull winters day
Thoughts of family, stir you today

Long awaited wedding, across the world
Hope for sunshine, as their day unfurled
Over oceans and land, loving thoughts unite
Dreams shared together, unique and so right

Messages and photos, will tomorrow be shared
Thanks to the internet, between those that cared
Yet today it's just thoughts, that bind you as one
And dreams that the day, is warmed by the sun...….

WE WILL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS

clinging to our bodies, a most potent poison
on such a massive force humanity seems in oblivion
rendering all of us unprepared and hopeless
unprecedented and never been this helpless

could it be that it is really the end?
foretold and prophesied from previous generations?
or this is an act of carelessness, sort of random?
pushing us to feel how it is to be doomed?

alas, the world seems scurrying
praying and kneeling begging for mercy
hypocritical in a far reaching effect
i can feel it, looks very temporary

it reminds me when 9/11 happened
the same situation and the same pattern
before that event the churches were so empty
then- the wails and fears it seemed like eternity

it came to pass, we have survived
again, back to normal like it always was
same old habits of going astray
and again, back to ordinary ways

then this virus came, what a surprise
we are helpless again, this time it is more than that
fear and panic seems the rule of the day
what do we do? again...kneel and pray

oh yes, oh Lord we ask
for the last time, please do forgive us
in Your Hands, please don't make us astray
this time, we will be with You, Always.

IN THE NAME OF OUR FATHER, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

we lay down to you our trust
to you we offer, our soul, body and heart
for You alone Lord can truly save us
not anyone, not any force but YOU our God.

Amen.
