Family Love Poems

Dad's radio

I look back at my dad's radio
Shuffling through the channels
Cause the signal is too weak
But my dad will wait in awe

When the presenter starts off at the top of the hour 
You'd see my dad fixed in his stool
Still to get to hear the nation address
The words of hope he hopes to hear 

It's been

Premium MemberSweet Baby Raja

More than a pet, Raja is our baby.
He fills all family hearts with true joy.
His luxurious fur is a lush touch.
More than a pet, Raja is our baby.
As my constant sidekick, he gains my grin.
Our feelings ever grow for our sweet boy.
More than a pet, Raja is our baby.
He fills all family hearts with true

Walter James Carter

Walter, James, and Carter

Little boys
Son,
Brother,
Son
One by one, my heart undone.
One is one (and a quarter) years tall,
Chocolate wisps that softly fall.
Forest hazel, bold and sly,
Wildfire laughter in his eye.
Two is two (well, almost there),
Golden curls of sunlit hair.
Eyes like ice, so pure, so true,
They freeze my heart and smile it blue.
Three is three (and a

Family

When winds are rough,
And tear at hopes and dreams
When days are dark, and nights are tough,
And over-long, it seems
When bitter clouds collect above,
And ache and break and pour
We'll batten down the hatches, 
Just like we did before.
You see, to me - we're made to last;
To wait, contented, warm;
To stand and know the past has passed.
For

Peace of mind

PEACE OF MIND

left hurt and wounded by my own actions,
yeah you started it but i didnt have to go there,
i shouldve just minded my business,
ignored the situation,
but i didnt,
i couldnt bite my tongue,
i couldn’t refute the anger you sent me in shockwaves,
words that i shouldve said but i didnt, 
words that i shouldnt of said

Those We Love


Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us everyday;
Though our journey turns bleak and gray,
Their guiding light remains to stay.

Their counsel heals our wounded heart,
Letting pain finally depart;
As opposed to falling apart,
Our world finds a different start.

Loved ones don't always cause comfort,
They also fetch challenge and hurt;
They push us to grow amid dirt,
Telling us

My Translator

“Mom, they called my name I won.”  
“Mijo, estoy tan orgullosa de ti, qué bendición.”  

Her voice lifts when I tell her.  
Like music in a language they don’t teach in school.  

At the store, at school, at the doctor’s front desk
I become her mouth. I become her ears.  

They

Family Love Family Scars

is it ethical
if he says he hates his family?
they did him wrong but then the world will say-
"god help this child possessed by the spirit
he's the one in the wrong".

he tries to find a reason to love them,
because he is in debt for raising the man he is now
but then again, they reminds him-
his existence

stranger

then one day,
a stranger will walk into your life.
before you know it, rambling conversation
will turn into late night laughs
that turns into meeting families
that turns into creating a family.
only little you knew,
how much this person would mean to you
and,
while you’ve known them such a short time
you feel like you’ve loved them a lifetime

By Gail DeBole

We were just two people who met
and live vows with utmost respect.

The world would keep going
If our lives didn’t align.

But lucky for us
That the universe was kind.

Yes, we met and keep going.
“Til Death Do Us Part.”

Living a life not always easy,
But so full of heart.

Our history is ours that

A Beast

A Beast



Only once you took my innocence away

your perverseness the mind to sway

I fled the house and climbed a tree

The fear that gripped me I’ll never be free



When you went back to your drink

My sanity pushed to the very brink

Fear and anxiety crushing my soul

My mother I searched for me to console



Tears streaming but no

My blanket of comfort

My mother~
the reason my heart begins to beat,
my guardian angel,
my warm blanket of comfort.
In her care, my dreams take root and bloom.
She is my guiding light in every storm.

She is the song most suited to my dance,
the well of love, of kindness, care.
The only star in my ocean’s sky,
the reason I sparkle like sunlit gems,
the

MIDNIGHT THOUGHTS

Traveling through these thoughts of mine.
Thinking of all the things I’ve left behind.
Wondering what may come in future time.
Hoping for the pain to subside.

As were put through to take the test.
Doing only what we think is best.
Trying to be better than all the rest.
Finding comfort within our nest.

Yet in our struggles, we bring ourselves pain.
Trying

Share Bond That Last

Take care of your loved ones
Bear in mind that all difficulties 
Are just temporary and manageable
The most precious thing is the family
This is where your business will start
This is where feminity and masculinity develop
This is where your health is being monitored
Unite everything because of love and desire
This is where every dispute is being resolved
This is

Slipping through my hand

A million  precious memories 
Each A grain of sand
I try, I fight, I hold on tight
But it's slipping through my hand

 For every laugh and smile 
And every shout or tear
I try, I fight, I hold on tight 
But I cannot hold it here

A flawed yet perfect jigsaw 
Of nights that turn to day
I
