Most Commented Family Poems (502)

You've grown tall and filled out some
Earned the stripes worked not won
And now of only twenty three my son
Recognition has become

I wish I could turn back time
Repair a life that wasn't mine
And spend those precious seconds fine
That would be sublime

All I knew was how to work
Roof and food my alert
My priorities had gone beserk
How life can make you a jerk

Distance made our life sour
A relationship bent on respect is dour
I never meant for you to cower
For you were always my finest hour

Days roll by and I never hear
You live a life of no fear
My memories of you are dear
And hold you in my heart near

You carry on as you can
You had a vision part of your plan
It wasn't hard to understand
Time was the greatest demand

The accolades come thick and fast
Respect from peers reward at last
The magic weaved from spell cast
A way to heal the past

But ne'r forget from whence you came
Our blood is thick it is the same
You walk your path to keep you sane
The world your oyster the pearl your gain.......

The darkend room
The cold wettnes mildew the walls within
Ice clings to the windows
Decay within

The hanging paper falling
Sliding down
Alone is granny abandond
Sits black white tv hissssss in the corner
Plays but granny canot see

Blindness now controls her lif e
Her trusty white cane now her guide to the darkness
In her life
She sits in her rocking chair, the coal lights fire her only comfort and joy
Kids outside

knock knock the kids play
Oh what a noiusence they are
Deaf ness her only consultation for the harrasment they cause
Granny sit all alone forgotten is she

I SPELL IT LIKE THIS BECAUSE; HE REFERRED TO OUR MOM; AS HIS MUDDA! MOST LIKELY NEW YORKERS HAVE A SPECIAL DIOLOGUE THAT ONLY TRUE NEW YORKERS CAN UNDERSTAND; THAT SEPARATES US FROM ANY OTHERS; WHO REFER TO THEIR MOMS AS MOTHER! MY STEP FATHER WAS A LOW LIFE, AND RALPHIE TOOK A JOB WITH THE POST OFFICE, AND BROUGHT IN MORE MONEY THAN THE LOW LIFE COULD EVER PROVIDE! I WAS A KID AND DIDN"T REALIZE THAT MONEY TOOK YOU TO THE TOP OF THE SLIDE! BLESS YOU BROTHER WHEREVER YOU ARE! I SHALL ALWAYS ADDRESS YOU AS; MY TRUE STAR!

Another chaotic morning
Why am I so surprised
It was also like this last night
When I closed my eyes

It was like this in the arvo
When I told my kids

"Put your shoes where you'll find them"

Of course not one kid did

Mum is just a word they say
It's their reaction from breathing
I hear "muu-uum! " thousands of times per day
And they hear muu-uum screaming

Our house is always crazy
Dysfunction at its best
But if you look behind that
You'll see, there's love in all the mess

A caring love, between family hold
Past to present, meek and bold
Carried memories, times shared
Remembered by those, who care

Family members, were born and died
Today's majority, active and alive
Of new ones joining, in marriage
Some carrying, life's baggage

Compassion and love, within number will
Act as glue, blood and commitment seal
Babies born, happy-sad-forgotten times
Weaving magic, through genetic lines

Reaching-holding, memories past
Ensures precious bonds, of family last
Throughout generations, together hold
Good and bad times, splintered with gold

Genes or nurturing, may control
Outcome of future, blend of souls
We have the choice, our selection
Personal progress, in many directions

He wouldn't be hankerin after fancy deserts if he'd take more of his meals at home.

If she doesn't know what she's missing, she can't be missing much.

Tell her to keep the cats and get her boyfriend fixed.

You could look up disgusting in the dictionary and there'd be a picture of this.

I never go any place where they have more forks than food

My mom means the world to me and now she's very ill and is only allowed visits of two per family. She has not had an easy life. Became a widow twice after being a devoted wife. Her baby's she made the extreme decision to give away. There was no money to eat or toys for them to play.

Still she stays strong and has been an Angel to everyone she meets. She'll even invite you in to eat. She takes care of people everywhere. It is not only me, anyone will tell you she's an Angel a Blessing to her church community.

Now, my Mom, my Angel is very ill. In the hospital with her heart. It can't be true. Without my Angel I wouldn't know what to do. There is fluid in her lungs and heart. Her health is declining and I can't make it if we depart.

She has done so much to make the world a better place. She even has an Angel's face. Please, Keep my Mom in your thoughts and prayers. She's ready, but I'm not ready for her to meet the man upstairs.

She put her hand on his hands as he laid there on the bed
She knew they didn’t have too much time and this is what she said
Daddy you were always there for me
You raised me to be a good girl as you bounced me on your knee
You taught me how to be a lady just as easy as to climb a tree
I hope I’ve made you proud of me

Her dad opened his eyes and looked at her teary face
As he wiped the water away he said you know I’ve got to leave this place
I have a lot of faith in you and I know you will be strong
Pretty soon I will be gone but you with have my love to carry on

I remember your first word, first step and bicycle ride
I remember when you fell and I held you as you cried
We went out for ice cream and your smile brightened my world
I want you to keep it in your heart that you’re daddy’s little girl.

He said, I’ve always been proud of you when you’re a lady or tomboy
Every little thing you’ve done has brought me so much joy
And though I don’t have much longer I want you to know
You’re my precious Angel and I love you so

They held on to each other tight as he took his last breath
She held on to the memories long after his death
Now when she feels discouraged, lost or out of her head
She pulls herself together remembering the things her daddy said.

I looked to you for strength.
But all I did was make you weaker,
I Looked to you for guidance,
Looked to you for truth,
didn't know where else to seek it.

And so sorry, if I made you fall,
Twas not my intention,
Sometimes, when we seek to find,
We find there is no redemption.

And nobody has the reasons why,
Nobody has the answers.
The how comes or the why's,
The reason why we cry, why we scream,

Why God, did this happen, to him.
To me,and all we hear, is
What will be , will surely be,
And only God knows why.

And so we cry,
And so we scream,
Oh why Lord, it can't be,
Why would you take the only man, who ever mattered to me,
my love , my life.
My heart , my soul,
The only reason I go on living...

so sorry, if I made you fall,
Twas not my intention,
Sometimes, when we seek to find,
We find there is no redemption.

And all we're left with is
asking our Lord,
Oh God why?
Oh, Lord why,
It's too soon to say good-bye,
Don't want to say good-bye.
Much too soon, to say Good-bye.

She walks into my thought like a flash strong;
A new way opened up in the dark night
Leading to her ever present memories along

With the past records; sorrows, pains, joys bright –
Light and shade of moments memorable
Covering the whole range my mind can cite.

She walks into my mind like a warble,
Never such a ballad heard in the past
As is music unseen and audible.

To me only a difference they cast.
The sweet reminiscences of her love
And affection flash upon my mind first

And then from my heart the pains to remove,
I fly with her to her blissful dream cove.
