Lenna Walker Poet Rhyme

Family Ties

What is the meaning of 'family ties'
Is the meaning lost in lies

We strive to hold it all together
Although we're not birds of a feather

With different lives and much to do
we need our families, me and you

We laughed and cried, had fun together
we thought it all would last forever

As the family grows by leaps and bounds
less togetherness can be found

May we never give it up
It's part of what fills our cup

Let's join in fun, let's laugh and play
and smile as we remember it another day

Life is short, as we all know
do not let your family go.

Vera Duggan June 25, 2017 at 10:53 PM Oh so very true Lenna, families are everything to me and you have described it so well in this delightful little poem, actually I really love your poetry, so easy to read, thank you for sharing and take care....Vera Lenna Walker June 26, 2017 at 10:03 AM Thank you so much Vera :) That is so nice of you to go and read my poems. I read from your page as soon as I found you on here. I didn't know that you also wrote, but I am glad to have found you. Yes, I know I use basic words most of the time, but I DO want my poems to be easily understood by any one who reads them and I am a rhymer .... even when I try not to be :)

Charmaine Chircop May 30, 2017 at 3:51 PM Indeed we do tend to tend those people who are most important to us forgranted at times..And .one time it would be too late..to show those we love we care..So treasure our family now.Great message dear. Lenna Walker May 30, 2017 at 10:00 PM Hi Charmaine, Thank you :) Yes, sadly sometimes it is too late.

Darren White May 30, 2017 at 12:38 PM I only recently discovered HOW important exactly, but now I will never forget :) Beautiful Lenna! Darren White May 30, 2017 at 1:49 PM I live with my sister since Christmas, she gave me a home :) Lenna Walker May 30, 2017 at 12:50 PM At least you DID realize, some never do ... or realize it way too late. Thank You Darren, glad you like it :)

Chris Green May 30, 2017 at 12:06 PM Family is important and you are right, they are all different but in the end, your family are the people you should be able to rely on the most. Really nicely done Lenna. Chris Green May 30, 2017 at 1:07 PM That is sad my friend. 45 minutes away...but it does take an effort from both sides. I can understand your frustration, if that is the right word. Lenna Walker May 30, 2017 at 12:46 PM Thank You Chris :) I spent some time with one of my sisters this past weekend, that I haven't seen in 2 years ... even though she only lives 45 minutes away. It seems this is happening more and more in our family and I find it quite sad. I can't always be the one going to them. Admittedly, I get tired of trying to round them all up.
