Most Commented Family Poems (502)

My eyes were taken back the first time I seen you

I knew you had captured my heart and soul

I wondered if you felt the same when our hands touched

How does someone explain how our heart feels

I just knew it was you as I held you in my arms

I could not believe how beautiful you were

My heart raced each time I caught a glimpse of you

Is this how love feels as though you can hardy breath

It feels as if you were a part of me and we are one

Just passing thru time like a warm breeze on a spring day

This is how love feels to me

You never wanted me
form the moment you
knew i was there.
You showed me only
what you wanted me
to see.
You hurt me so deep
the knife could not
go deep enough to
pull out the pain.
Never wanting me.
Only abusing me.
Beating me daily
as if i was the
problem for the
mess up in your
life.
Giving me as a
present to guys
you called boyfriends.
In order to keep
them happy, content.
I was but a child you
robbed that from me.
Yet to this day.
You can not see the
issues you caused.
Putting yourself on
a shelf calling yourself
the greatest mom ever.
Lying to keep out the
dark secrets that
invade my life.
Soothing the darkness
with alcohol for then
you will be great in
your own mind.
Wake up for that is
never to be i am here
telling this.
I am real i exist.
I know the truth
others will know
SOON.

Hold thumbs and hope this works:)
I loved the sounds of your voices before
And now we have "Brand New " voices sooo why not,
Its fun xx

A place of fun and peace,
a place to call home.

One Night is all it took to distroy it all..

Now we hide inside with huge locks,
we always walk with someone never alone,
carry a knife, a gun, pepper spray.

One Night of banging down a door to get to us...

Now we don't sleep, and shake at ever sound.

In ONE Night they took it all away.

A little precious bundle coming into your life.
A miracle that is yours to love forever.
For she will always be your little girl,
even when she is grown up.
A precious treasure that is yours to share.
May her dreams soar high and be attained.
May all you see in her future come true.

What inspires me April 2012



What inspires me today?
Watching my child kneel and pray.
The warmth of a sunny day.
The critters that come out to play.
Friends that stop by to sit a spell.
The smiles they bring.
The stories they tell.


Lisa Hegler

The third child born, the only girl,
A precious little thing.
And when she smiled the room lit up,
And caused the world to sing.

At two years old she'd just begun,
To run and feed herself.
Already curious about the books,
That sat upon my shelf.

Then tragedy unspeakable,
While fighting off the flu,
Immune system went haywire,
Her brainstem ravaged through.

She had to learn to walk and talk,
And use her hands again,
But doggedly she tried and tried,
I worried so back then.

Some gave up but not this one,
The bravest little girl.
She worked so hard and never quit,
To make it in this world.

Til finally she had come back,
Except one dragging foot.
The one worked fine but hard it was,
The other one to put.

She'd point down to her legs and scold,
The one that gave her trouble.
"Good foot, bad foot," she would say while,
Pointing one to other.

Then one day through my front door,
She walked so straight and tall.
And marched herself right up to me,
Without a limp at all.

Where I sat there upon the floor,
She shoved "bad foot" at me,
And wriggled it up in my face,
She grinned, said, "Pawpee, see?"

I cried then, and I'm crying now,
The tears of joy I shed.
For my precious little girl.
And those brave words she said.

Yes it's my birthday,what a great day,

Every year different and this is no play

I invited close friends and cooked up a feast

The talk was good as it should be music by Karen Carpenter

The mood was set friends my boys and good cheer

The one thing missing is you my sweet dear

All have gone now except my dreams

The day when we have no fears just you and I

The road to recovery

As I looked into the eyes of my son today
I could see that he was in agony, pain and despair
He was loosing control of his mind and his soul
Drowning in Depression, loneliness, and fear

The demons had raised their ugly heads
In search of another victim
Their mission is to crush and destroy
So now the battle of the minds begin

I embrace you my son, with my love
Along with inner strength
As you travel on this next journey in life
Reach out to your higher power
Embrace with love all that has been offer

Believe in your self, Love your self for it is in loving
Yourself that will enable you to love other
Always believe in your higher power
Seek what you are looking for

Stand tall in the presence of fear
I wish you a full recovery
In addition, remember my son
Nothing in life is ever easy

Face the challenges of each day head on
Never look back
Live life One Day at a Time

Grama what kind am I

My little grandson went out to play some friends he went to find
Very soon was back again with tears that filled his eyes
When I asked him what was wrong my gramdson he did reply
They say my kind can’t play with them
Grama What kind am I?

My heart was really breaking for my little grandson that day
I wrapped my arms around him and wiped his tears away
I thought how cruel the world could be to someone oh so small
Just because his colour was different from them all

You ask me Matthew what kind are you Ill tell you what I see
I see a little boy who looks a lot like me
Whose smile is like the sunshine and brightens up my day
Whose heart is full of laughter and loves to run and play?

You are a Métis Metthew some day you’ll be a man
Hold you head up high stand tall and proud with pride
Stand tall and proud my native grandson and never run away
Stand tall and proud like the mighty oak
Stand tall and proud with pride
