Best Parent Poems

My Parent

The rules said “one parent not two”
Good for me as I only had you
No selection; no one to choose
Who is this parent; just follow the clues

Next rule; write something “profound” 
Something good or something that makes you frown
This one was easy 
Considering all you...

When your children are born you have your dreams for them 
but you never really know
what direction they will take…
where their life will go.

As they grow up those dreams you had…
you quietly erase them
as you allow the dreams they have…
to gradually replace them.

And your dream...

Being a parent

You tried to be the best parent you were able.
Given the tools that life’s experience thought.

You attempted, on many occasion, to raise the bar.
Eighteen years, nine as two parents, ten as a Mr. Mom.

Then !!!, to endure the loss, the empty nest syndrome.
Both...

I had the joy when I was younger

Of seeing my three baby daughters born, 

The first in the summer of 1985

It made me go weak at the knees, 

It was the most awesome thing that I had ever seen

The miracle of birth, is a precious...

We rise from the lowest places,
create homes in the most homely spaces.
Divide food in shortage cases,
but we ensure each person here
thrives and will make it.
Some call it dysfunction
but I call it home.
We give them all that we earn,
because they are our own.
Rumors surface; we're poor,
how...

Who questions the great love of a Parent
(whose love is here and present to the end
for caring and for giving to attend
to every child's welfare and contentment)?
A parent's love is greater in extent  
than infinite: it's a truth to commend,
a law (that one cannot...

As A Parent, I Want My Kids to Serve God!

As a parent, I’m trying the best that I can….
Though there are things that I don’t understand!

I remember my parents teaching me right and wrong.
And taught that God’s laws certainly belong!

I’ve tried to share these values...

I created you
the angelic, and the impish 
with my proud and selfless
love for you.
I enthusiastically ate for two
the sweet, the sour,
the salty, ravenous cravings.
I carried you
inside me, everywhere;
goodbye figure and posture
hello nausea and inexplicable dreams.
Laboring for hours
endless pain, draining my energy
to bring forth you
into this...

True stories are often the saddest, so go to another poem if you 
are afraid of this one.
Seventy-five years ago a Mommy died leaving a boy of two 
with her husband, a farmer.
The husband was a father, but no Daddy; 
he plopped the motherless child...

Cry Me a River
(To) wash away the blood and sweat
 I've sheaden for thee
Baby Cry me a river as long as the Niel
 Hope you throw me a raft
 so that I may rest for a while
 Kuz I've been bluer then any known sea

The babies are so much fun,
So cuddly and warm,
So snuggly, and wonderful,
So ugly when first born.

The babies are so loved,
So cherished, so alive!
But the newborns, with their cat-cries,
Are so annoying when they cry.

Yes, I will babysit your baby.
And we can play and sing and laugh.
I...

There could be rats and snakes hiding in here.
Yes, I am talking about asps and cobras, big ones.
Hiding under the bed, no, not in my head, under my bed.

Okay, what about way back there, in the darkest corner?
Did you check out THAT corner? My voice...

Family history
Is mostly a mystery
To those researching their genes

Your DNA tree
Does not seem to be
Worth more than an hill of beans

Women toiled in the clover
With Neil Down and Ben Dover
And though it could be a bother

Despite every fear
DNA makes it clear
Someone had it in for...
