Best Families Poems

Sexual Addictions Are Destroying Our Families!
Many families are being destroyed by sexual addictions!
As they bring into their homes unneeded afflictions!

There are affairs of adultery of all different kinds…
As many allow sin’s pollution to destroy their mind!

Many have no comprehension or fail to see…
The filth of...

Around this time of year
Our families draw near
They gather side by side.

Young and old they meet
And munch on tasty treats
Around the fireside.

A conversation starts
The subject quickly parts
A gap a generation wide.

The men get more intense
The women are incensed
They exit and they cry.

But grandma has a...

Where have all our beautiful flowers gone
Each so very special in their own way
Where have all our young flowers gone
Why has this world’s evil taken them away

Where have all our young flowers gone
Oh Lord, we miss them in so many ways
And it's hard to accept...

Watched the tourist families
As they strolled and shopped and sipped.
Without their masks, you might have thought
That Covid had been whipped.

They skated on the ice and bought
Hot chocolate and raclettes.
If germs were floating in the air
They didn’t feel their threats.

Yet all of my anxiety
Of Omicron infection,
Despite...

I was a skillful, amiable nursery worker, cultivating blooms in a greenhouse,
Like feverish and fragrant blooms, often grown in redbird's green treehouse.

Hours were spent sowing seeds, adjusting conditions, and also and pruning,
As June full moon nights await dawn, in utter hush as blooms are swooning.

It...

What a special day it is 
When we celebrate 
A love that will last a lifetime 
Three years of back and forth 
They don’t have to do that anymore 
They are together forever 
A family they have become 
When 

Two Hearts & Two Families 
Became...

Dear Siblings Three,

I was reading a story
in which some siblings became estranged
after their parents died,
while others moved toward greater solidarity.

This is a variation on a diaspora story.
But, here growing physical distance
is seen more as a geographic effect
than a political cause
of growing estrangement on one side,
and...

We Walk Together  Hand and Hand

Tightly Holding each other's Heart
 
For what We Loved

Was a crafty Illusionist 
Orchestrating arrogant notes 

The Lords Lampposts are Endearing 

Angels that Lead Our Course

Appearing Unexpectedly 

Walking with Us till we regain Our footing

 Lifted We Carry On
 
Forgiveness...

In this wonky day and time,
this favored temperate clime
dares suggest wisdom's course
espouse prevalent societal force.*

Family tree boundaries,
stretched by current modes
like an old elastic band,
accept new branches
hung precariously 
on the old sturdy trunk.

Old Limbs are newly bushed
with leaves bearing prefixes
with measuring sounds;
third, adopted, step, half -
or...

A family is a special group
Of people that you love
And share your life with
When you are sent from Heaven above.                         ...

Born May of '75 in Adelaide, South Australia
given the sweet name Denise, life had thrown hard at her from birth
always giving it everything, smiled at the cracks so it brings the laughter 
But, as life struggled with her throughout her childhood 
she would become a...

 As I lay here wondering,
Why you did all those horrible things to me,
I slowly begin to realize,
That these things tend to run in family's,
I'm sorry that your parents did this to you.
That still does not make this right,
So please face your own demons,
Without forcing...
