Best Familyprayer Poems


Can I Really Do This

She's frail and weak sprawled out on the floor

Can I really do this any more

I am the one that took on the task

Hoping that with Love and family her life would last

I don't mind to work calling in

Or staying with her all weekend

But the helplessness  that I feel

Is more then which some times I can deal

Maybe better hands I should put her in

But not seeing us or feeling the  love would she still win

It may even be that I over react

But once she's gone I can't take it back

So I spend my day comforting her

Knowing that in reality there isn't a cure

So my friends I ask for just one prayer from you

This is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do

It's not like she'll recover at all

More like we are just waiting til God Gives us a call!

Premium Member Just Stopped By

Seems like a long time since we’ve had a talk
Wasn’t in a hurry, so I just stopped by
I don’t get up this way too often 
Don’t mind me, sometimes I cry

The kids are fine, they’re all grown now
They get home every now and then
Still talk about Grandma’s house
Sunday visits way back when

The years go by so quickly
Seems like yesterday you were here
I still have the memories
Of the days I hold so dear

I’ve been married to your daughter now
For over forty years
She stayed with me through the hard times
I guess we had more smiles than tears

I’m going to stop to see my mom
She’s resting over there
I’ll be back another day
When I have more time to spare

I just stopped by to say hello
And visit my mother while I’m here
Lay some flowers on your graves
Say a prayer and shed a tear.
