Best Lovefamily Poems
The buzzing wakes me,
The intercom.
It's the family.
We take off her coat,
Her little scarf and mitts.
She climbs in beside me.
Snuggling
Cold cheeks,
Little blocks of ice
Against my body ,toasty warm.
Shall we play?
Out comes Big Ted,
And the favourite book.
I read.
Big Ted looks on.
We sing twinkle twinkle,
Big Ted dances.
We sing again, Big Ted claps.
We take a bow
And we laugh.
I read again
From the favourite book.
Two pairs of eyes
Sit entranced.
One, brought into reality
By the imagination of a child
The other pair locked into
A world of fantasy.
Warm, safe,
Wrapped in the arms
Of family love.
We sing again.
Big Ted is tired.
I am tired,
The family see.
It's time to go.
We put on her coat,
Her little scarf and mitts.
Little arms hug tight,
Baby soft lips plant
A wet kiss on my cheeks.
And so her warmth leaves
With a wave of the hand.
I feel a familiar chill
Of emptiness descend
Upon me.
Then a new sound.
It carries through the letterbox,
Ascends the stairs
And reaches right
Into my heart.
Just four little words.
I love you Nanny.

Love Aligns
Of names given at birth, one blooms special.
Mary seems to me a popular name.
Common folks and royalty likewise called.
But no two named Mary are quite the same.
A young girl named Mary lived righteously.
By God she was favored, is history.
She willingly bore God's begotten son.
Obscure to man…virgin birth mystery.
Infant queen, Mary of Scotland, betrothed,
Had escaped Henry the Viii rough wooing.
Life's whirlwinds, deaths and romance havocked her life.
Politics sent beheading ensuing.
Mary Read of Devon County, England
Surrounded by death, raised as a boy.
Captured by pirates of the Caribbean Sea,
Became a pirate herself, lived wild joy.
Mother and Daughter, writers named Mary,
Mary Wollstonecraft, swayed by T. Paine, wrote
"A Vindication of the Rights of Woman," (1792)
The thoughts of a mother, by death made remote.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, sweet sixteen,
Strong spirited, influenced by her mom
Left home to be Percy's mistress…outcast.
Sorrows in life are Frankenstein's where-from.
Mary Anning, a woman paleontologist,
Prepared fossils from Jurassic era beds.
Well-known by geologists, financially poor,
Put new ideas in scientific thinkers heads.
Famous women named Mary nowadays abound.
From Mary Anne on Gilligan's Island
To Mary Poppins flying through the air.
Each Mary, in her own way has some life brightened.
All of the women I have presented herein.
Have one thing in common: strength and chagrin.
But, there is not one Mary I read about or met.
Whose loves like my grandmother's was fashioned.
She, was a woman of strength, strong will, and *****.
But, tenderly, she comforted many a tear.
Teaching young children from her sewing machine,
She consistently worked to keep family near.
She offered fresh fruit from the family tree.
I know her sweetness from Heaven shines.
Without her love, I wonder where I would be.
When I hear the name Mary, love aligns.

What is the worth of a long, long life,
If when that long life ends,
One has more than enough of earthly wares,
But is devoid of friends?
When I am called before the Lord
To kneel at His Holy Throne,
I hope to report I have treasured love
Over anything else I may own.
The love of family and friends
Is a gift that's beyond compare.
The longest of lives would go unmarked
Without family and friends who care.

I got family by my side
that would never ever die
I wanna find love to end my sorrow
even if that means I will have to borrow
just a little bit of love to end my grief
O please tell me what to do sir priest
The priest said not to worry my son
your family loves you a ton
Just keep your hand up and look around
when ever you feel down just put your knees on the ground
yours hands up high
and pray to the sky!
Your not alone my son!!!

To time we are a mere object in space.
To space we take up the majority of the universe.
To the universe we formed a group of people.
To a group of people we are only acquaintances.
To acquaintances we turn into more,
And when we turn into more,
We turn into lovers.
In a place where time and space,
And the thoughts of people,
Don’t matter.
And in the end all that matters,
Are how we love and the family we make,
And in that family we make,
We create the bond of love,
And this bond of love is what makes time,
A series of moments that are unforgettable.
An ordinary girl
Meets an ordinary boy
It starts that way until one day
They're overcome with joy
This ordinary girl
Will soon become his bride
And when they marry this ordinary
Boy is filled with pride
This ordinary girl
Is soon a mother to be
Their family grew, these ordinary two
Into a family of three
This ordinary girl
Would soon give birth once more
This ordinary three would come to be
An ordinary family of four
This ordinary girl
And this ordinary boy
Are special it appears 'cause for thirty years
Their marriage is filled with joy
