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.

The stick-together families are happier by far
Than the brothers and the sisters who take separate highways are.
The gladdest people living are the wholesome folks who make
A circle at the fireside that no power but death can break.
I was trying to come up with something to post on Facebook so my 2 sons could read it. They're 27 & 29 years old, and we're very close. I wanted to say something about family that would touch...

They say the world is round, and yet
I often think it square,
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there.
The writer has hit the nail on the head. We treat strangers with grace and family with scorn. Our family will disapprove of our life choices, whereas strangers will not. A depressed soul...

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.

One night I saw a snowflake fall.
Past memories it did recall.
And as the snow fell to the ground,
Superb, poetry as its best.
We should count our blessings one by one,
Every night and day, lest they be gone.
Friends and family, hold onto them tight,
For they may disappear in a...
I've heard the lonely pipes of Scotland,
Many times in my dreams,
I've seen the land of my ancestors,
Clearly, it seems....
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...

I was born
into this race
I'm Latino Proud
And it shows on my face
You are the meaning of strength
at its highest peak.
You have courage
when the rest of us are weak....
I'm a person who has a big heart and always wants to read a poem. I am always inspired when I read any kind of poetry, and I hope someday I will be the one who can inspire others too.
If you could see inside of me
I wonder what you'd think.
Would you ask the question,
Oh how can this be?...
Family is
heaven sent from our father above,
bonded by the power of love.
No matter what, family has each other's backs
My mother-in-law passed in May 2010. My husband is the executor of the estate, the eldest of 5. He can do no right, everything wrong. The family has lost sight of human values and feelings....
