Best Family Values Poems

they try to push me in the door
a good deed done for a boar

new pants and new shirt
just on night what could it hurt

waiting outside for the end
inside seems dead

the only one not dancing
instead homeward i'm glancing

two hundred feet away
with no wards to say

no need...

Healthy families can be quick to anger
but, if so, they have also learned to be quick to forgive,
forgiveness redeems anger and fear to again risk mutual trust.

Partisan political leaders are not leading when they,
immersed in adversarial power positions,
are slow to forgive.
Well, OK, forgiveness, like mutual...

Family Values?
My great grandmother was your family values.
She scrubbed your floor and burped your baby, while my great grandfather 
looked for work as a dishwasher.
When have you ever valued my family?
I work, my will work.
You give her six weeks maternity.
I have no pension, sometimes the...

My mom is a rosebush
lovely and red
but if you are careless
you’ll wind up quite dead.

My dad is a slide rule
useful and endearing
whose entire career
has been engineering.

My bro is a penguin
laid-back and cool
who hangs out with buddies
his size up at school.

I am a journal 
tucked out...

The values we adhere to
In this family of mine
The things we've always stuck to
They have surely done us fine

Although we stick together
We still give each other space
The friendliness and love we share
Would find in no other place

You know if you ever need me
I'll be at...

FAMILY VALUES

Foes have arisen in our day and age
And they have taken their act to the stage
Making their laws in the nation’s courtrooms;
It’s families they’re after to destroy and to doom.
“Let’s turn on the families”; they act to devour,
Yet the family’s the root of our...

Another sex scandal hits the party of family values

Another fall from imperial grace
Another pastor 
Caught in a red hot sex scandal

He claims that his wife 
Had an affair with a pool boy
Who tried to black mail him

The pool boy denies it
Says the man liked to...

Sold on a cheapskate cheesing.
Cupcaked' by a cheesecake reasoning.
Kids, plenty for the 
Cakewalk.
Kids, plenty to play 
Hopscotch.
Kids, plenty of energy goes 
Non-stop.
Disparaging remarks marked up by the
Loudmouth loosened by fool-proof
Foul Alchohol percentages.
It's far too soon to start with those 
Remarks.
Gliding by.
Hiding behind our
Rollercoaters' ropes.
Ready to...

Family Values

It made me feel good to see the family,
mother, father, son and daughter
sitting  together on the spread blanket at the park
heads bowed around their picnic lunch, a tradition 
of saying grace before the meal not often seen,
 
when they all look up at...

By a cozy little fire
‘neath a soft lit Christmas tree
I just can’t help but think about
what Christmas means to me

I think about my Mom and Dad 
so thankful they’re still here 
though Dad was never really one
for lots of Christmas cheer

I think about my children...
