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.

at its highest peak.
You have courage
when the rest of us are weak....

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...
One night I saw a snowflake fall,
Past memories it did recall,
And as the snow fell to the ground,
Great style, honest writing. I love it! This hit close to home for me and made me think... plus, my nickname's Snowflake, so that's perfect. Thank you very much, and please keep sharing your...

I've heard the lonely pipes of Scotland,
Many times in my dreams,
I've seen the land of my ancestors,
Clearly, it seems....
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 others back,...
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....
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...
