The Ole Porch Swing
Swinging on the porch swing early in the night,
Listening to crickets and watching fireflies light.
I loved to sit beside her and listen to her sing.
We could sit for hours on the ole porch swing.
Our lives are so busy and sometimes we live so far from our families. We miss the relationships with our families and often we do not even share important life events with them. We need to move back towards our families. If not in actual distance then at least we must move closer in our hearts. We live in a time where there are unprecedented communication possibilities. No one will ever love us unconditionally like our family can. We'd be fools not to take advantage of this opportunity.

There are now three empty chairs at the Christmas table.
It's a time I find difficult, even unable
To find joy on this family day.
I wish I had my dad by my side.
Just thinking of him makes me cry.
Never being able to get to know him
Hurts me inside everyday that goes by.
I was 2 years old when I was taken from my parents. I was 8 years old when I lost my dad. He was 50 when he passed away from cancer. I hardly knew my dad. This poem is sad, but it's like my...

It's been two months now.
I've locked all my pain inside.
Only I see what you have done to me.
I am cautious and aware.
My mom left me 7 years ago and my dad left me 13 years ago. I saw him again 7 years ago but only for a few months. I love them but hate them. I miss them but never wanna see them again. I was...
I am a dad who is too sad to say
My two little girls have been taken away.
Their mother wanted to take them far from me.
My ex-girlfriend and I were together for 9.5 years. We have a beautiful daughter together. Our relationship fell apart. We no longer live together. And since our break-up, she has been angry...
If you saw me on the street
would you stop and talk to me
or would you look right past me,
a stranger you didn't see?...
It's terrible when a mom or dad leaves, but I think you did a great job writing this poem.
