Our family is the proverbial egg that we were hatched from. Everything about who we are, both our nature and nurture comes from our family. Often in western society, we stray far from our family and may not talk to them for years at a time. We may feel that we have nothing in common with them. We may choose to run away from our roots because they are too painful to face. Ultimately however, our past holds the key to our future. If we do not face where we come from, we will have difficulty understanding our present and future.
My whole family will keep talking deep inside my head
It's hard to pay attention to everything that's said
They're yelling out their criticism and it's not one by one
Or their grumbling disapproval for something I have done

God gave each of us a special family
that we can call our own.
A family that loves us for who we are
so we would never feel alone.
I was deeply touched by this poem because the family relations are the closest to my heart. Though friends have their own importance, the family can't be replaced with them. Family relations,...

I was born in the arms of my own king and queen.
They raised me as they were, in the life they had seen.
My queen guarded and protected me as her queen did before.
This shows me to always respect your parents because one day they will leave and you are going to have to do it on your own. That is what the poem means to me.
How often do we push aside
The thought to make a call
To just one family member
Who we rarely see at all?
time is lighter than a feather
through your fingers it slips
and after time and time
my jar of love never tips
As mother, I am nurturer.
A guardian, a guide
As mother, I am gentleness
A warmth of selfless pride
Life is passing so quickly,
Dreams are proliferating so rapidly,
But in the middle of all these,
Memories are embracing so tightly...
Why are you not here, my siblings? Why don't you care? We are here on earth but once. There was a time when our love was so dear. Why are you not here, my siblings? Time is passing by, I am...
Not enough hours in the day, we often say
we watch as the busyness of life allows time to slip away.
Before we know, days turn to months and months into years,
When our chairperson of the George Family Reunion Committee called for reunion poetry for the 2009 Family Reunion Booklet, I went in search of just the right poem to describe my feelings...
The phrase "I'm Sorry" you may agree
Has turned into a social amenity
We say "I'm Sorry" more than Brenda Lee
Which was a hit song for her back in 1960.
That was the best poem I ever heard. Thanks it really touched me.
It seems like only yesterday
Our lives were just beginning.
Your love for us never failed,
Our hearts continually mending.
My grandparents are my life. The lines of the poetry touch my heart.
During the toughest of times we must band together!
When the bad weather hits us straight on,
we have to get through that rough storm.
Holding each other with a tight grip
To all my family and friends,
from whom I hear from
now and then,
Just wanted to say
This poem has really touched my heart with the remembrance of how friendship and family love is so important in the life of a human.
The love of this family can show the work of God
To prevail over our weakest of moments
To lend a hand or mend a broken heart.
Well I really like your poem because it kind of relate to me and my family when we have problems but know we will work all are problems out with the people in it... so thanks for writing this...
Grandmas are beams of sunshine built into a hug
That leaves a smile on your face and love within you heart
Grandpas are the wise ole ones that are cuddly as a bear
Who always have a neat new trick and story yet to share
A warm welcome
A how do you do
Words of kindness
And comfort too
How does love grow?
Everyone should know!
It's a gift of giving,
Which we hope to keep receiving.
I don't know when it started,
Or how it all began,
But God created families,
As only our Lord can.
This poem reminds me of my mom's side of the family and my dad's side. We love each other and we're glad that God put us together.
They say that times were tough then
That money was very tight
But I remember my childhood
And I know that can't be right
It was a very good poem. It reminded me of my childhood. When we did not have much money but we had eggs from our chicken's house. We have plenty of fruits and vegetables and...
What family means to me is more
Than mere words can convey.
It's been the basis for my life
And how I've faced each day.
