Family Fun

Family relationships are a key;
Abundant joy they bring (and brought) to me.
Mainstays in how we learn to love and grow;
It seems natural for me to feel so.
Living shared memories we hope will last;
Yearning for those times as the years slip past.

Facing adulthood, ditching childish things;
Using this time well to wait in the wings;
New family formed with the love it brings.

Paula Goldsmith June 14, 2026 at 1:29 PM Great pictures for a great write. Love everything here. I enjoyed reading this one.... Enjoy your day writing away................. Bartholomew Williams June 15, 2026 at 1:56 PM Thank you very much, Paula! Yes, I was trying to convey the circle and cycle of life, as we move from one generation to the next, and also why we should appreciate each other. A main stabilizing force in all of that is the centrality, importance, strength, and enduring nature of the traditional nuclear family. I am grateful for your extremely positive comments! Blessings & very best, Bartholomew

David Crandall May 27, 2026 at 7:27 PM Great poem - congratulations, I think that experience of the first family helps with the new one! Bartholomew Williams May 29, 2026 at 9:33 PM I completely agree with you, David. Thanks for dropping by, reading my poem, and positively commenting. Blessings & very best to you, sir! Bartholomew

Andrea Dietrich May 12, 2026 at 1:49 PM Very nicely done, my friend. I always prefer when acrostic poems rhyme. Good luck in the contest. She has so many great entries in this contest of hers, I am clueless how she will reduce her wins to only ten. This is for Len's contest, right? Bartholomew Williams May 12, 2026 at 8:33 PM Thank you very much, Andrea! I appreciate your kind, positive words. I like to make my acrostic poems rhyme, as well. Yes, this is for Len's contest. I hope we see both of us in the winners' circle!! :) Blessings and very best always, Bartholomew

Angela Terry May 9, 2026 at 4:52 PM This is a cozy acrostic poem that makes me imagine families having fun before time flies by. Bartholomew Williams May 9, 2026 at 8:11 PM Thank you very much, Angela, and you are correct that this is one of the major themes of my poem. (The other is the circle of life, from one generation to the next.) I appreciate your thoughtful, encouraging comments. Blessings and very best to you and yours! :) Bartholomew
