1. The Door Of Dreams

Famous Poem
- By Jessie B. Rittenhouse
in Famous Poems

I often passed the Door of Dreams
But never stepped inside,
Though sometimes, with surprise, I saw
The door was open wide.

I often passed the Door of Dreams
But never stepped inside,
Though sometimes, with surprise, I saw
The door was open wide.

I might have gone forever by,
As I had done before,
But one day, when I passed, I saw
You standing in the door.

Apology Poem About Messing Up

in I'm Sorry Love Poems

I love you so very much,
Even though at times I do things that hurt.
I try so hard to hope that you always see
How much you being in my life means to me.

I love you so very much,
Even though at times I do things that hurt.
I try so hard to hope that you always see
How much you being in my life means to me.
I am sorry yet again for causing you pain.
That is the last thing I ever wanted to do.
Even when I am trying to look out for you and do the right thing,
I mess up; I am sorry for that too.
I hope that you still know how much I love and cherish you,
Like nothing else in my life gives me the thrill of being loved by you.
So I hope that you listen and see it in my eyes,
This sincere apology that comes with tears from deep inside.

Poem Thanking Mom

in Thank You Poems

Thank you...
For standing by me through thick and thin,
For not giving up on me when I didn't win,
For your patience when I kept pushing you away,

Thank you...
For standing by me through thick and thin,
For not giving up on me when I didn't win,
For your patience when I kept pushing you away,
For caring when I said I didn't need you anyway.

I am grateful knowing...
I can count on your strength,
Ask for your support and know you'll go to any length.
When I lose my way,
You help me get back on track.
When in pain,
Your comfort soothes and brings me back.

I am lucky because...
When I was sad, you gave me faith and hope.
When I was confused, you taught me how to cope.
When I felt I couldn't go on,
You carried me long miles.
When I didn't believe,
You restored my smiles.

Mom, thank you...
For your guidance and the faith you've shown,
For giving me a safe place where I have grown,
For showing me how to strive.
Because of your love,
I will survive.

Poem About Taking Out Anger On Another Person

in I'm Sorry Love Poems

Words I say don't always come out right,
and they always seem to start a fight.

I know what I say can hurt you,

Words I say don't always come out right,
and they always seem to start a fight.

I know what I say can hurt you,
and believe me, I don't mean to.

The last thing I want to see is you sad
because I can't control myself when I get mad.

I know all you want from me is my best,
but right now I need time to rest.

Everything is happening so fast.
How long will it all last?

Everything is falling apart.
It's ripping my heart.

I have so much anger built up; I have to get it out,
and all I want to do is scream and shout.

I take it out on you,
even though I don't mean to.

I'm sorry for causing you more stress.
I know even you need time to rest.

Poem Comparing Adoptive Parents And Birth Mothers

My Mother gave me my talents and traits.

My Mother gave me my fears and doubts.

My Mother gave me my talents and traits.
My Mam taught me to embrace them.

My Mother gave me my fears and doubts.
My Mam taught me to face them.

My Mother gave me my clumsy ways.
My Mam picked me up from the mud.

My Mother gave me my bright blue eyes.
My Mam taught me to see the good.

I am not angry that my Mother gave me away.
I know it was to give me the best.

Adoption is building a family through dedication and love.
For the family I have, I am blessed.

6. What Is A Dad?

Father's Day Poem For An Adopted Dad

in Father's Day Poems

A Dad is patient, helpful, and strong
He is there by your side when things go wrong
He's someone who guides you to do the right thing
And helps you solve problems that life sometimes brings

A Dad is patient, helpful, and strong
He is there by your side when things go wrong
He's someone who guides you to do the right thing
And helps you solve problems that life sometimes brings

A Dad is someone who is loving and kind
And usually knows what's going on in your mind
He is someone who listens and makes time to talk
When things are bad he doesn't turn around and walk

He is a strong shoulder when times are tough
And still loves you dearly when he's had enough
He helps you and guides you all that he can,
Wanting nothing more than to make you a man

A Dad's there when you're happy and even more when you're sad
Giving unconditional love whether you're good or you're bad
A Dad is someone that you can also call a friend
Who is there no matter what and will be till the end

They say that blood is thicker than water
But I know this isn't true
Because my son couldn't ask for a better Dad
Than one he has found in you

I think of all the years gone by and wonder
How different things would've been
If his real father put forth the love
That you have shown to him

Happy Father's Day!
Thank you for showing my son what a real father is
And for loving him as much as you do. You will always
Have a special place in my heart and his

7. Thank You For Taking Care Of Me
- By Jessica
- Published: June 2008
in Thank You Poems

Thank you
For everything you have ever done
To make my life better.
I might deny it sometimes,

Thank you
For everything you have ever done
To make my life better.
I might deny it sometimes,
But a great part of who I am
Is thanks to the two of you.
Sometimes I thought to myself
That you were being too strict,
Sometimes unfair,
But now I see
That it was all for the better,
And I am thankful for it all.
You taught me respect
On a level most kids my age
Never even heard of.
You taught me the value of life
In an easy way to understand.
I know that I
Can sometimes be a little hard-headed
Or even a real teaser,
But still I have managed
To follow your teachings
And become
As good a person as I can be.

Thank you
For everything.

Wondering Where I Would Be Without Mom Poem

in Thank You Poems

Without you, Mom where would I be?
Through hard times you were there for me.
A heavenly look always in your eyes.
And with your love you strengthened seven children's lives.

Without you, Mom where would I be?
Through hard times you were there for me.
A heavenly look always in your eyes.
And with your love you strengthened seven children's lives.
You raised me up the best you could.
and taught me all you know about good.
You were strong through all the stress I caused.
You were always willing to put your life on pause.
So I thank you, Mom for always being there for me.
Because without you where would I be?
