Family Poems by Teens

Poems about Moms and Dads

Respect for fathers and mothers is a common tenet of most cultures. With the advent of modern psychology, we now question this idea. If our problems are the result of the way we were raised, why should we respect them? When we respect our parents we are acknowledging that we do not know the challenges that our parents face. We recognize that our parents had to overcome their own childhood issues as well. Respecting our parents is the path to beginning to respect ourselves and ultimately respecting the cycle of life.

1. See What I See
- By Selena Odom
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2018
I wrote this for my beautiful 16-year-old daughter! She struggles so hard with self-esteem issues! I'm sure many of you moms understand.

Encouragement For Daughter

If you could see what I see when I look at you,
You'd definitely love you, too.
You would hold your head up high,
For you possess beauty that no one can deny.

If you could see what I see when I look at you,
You'd definitely love you, too.
You would hold your head up high,
For you possess beauty that no one can deny.

If you could see what I see when I look at you,
There's no way you'd be so down and blue.
You wouldn't be able to contain your smiles,
For your charm goes on for miles and miles.

If you could see what I see when I look at you,
You'd know there's nothing you can't do.
You'd do things without fear you'll fail,
For you've got many talents yet to unveil.

Please try to see what I see when I look at you.
You will feel refreshed and new.
All the anger, shame, and insecurities will just go.
I promise BABY GIRL, you are too good to ever hang your head low.

2. Dear Star In The Sky
- By Maria Gironza
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2013
This poems describes my mother. Since I am still a teenager, I feel is if my mom is guide, a star in the sky, that guides me to make the best decisions in my life. She fills me with courage day to day, so I dedicated this piece of poetry to her.

The night is still young
The sun has gone low

The first thing I see

The night is still young
The sun has gone low

The first thing I see
Is your shiny star glow

For even the darkest and scariest place
Could never slow down your wonderful pace

Deep in the night
Closer to dawn

I sleep really sound
Covered by your arms

You gleam with such beauty
I must have to say

The darkest times now
Seem as light as the day

I never have doubted and nor shall I will
Of your love and your courage and your outstanding thrills

Yet high above hills I see Northern Lights
That share will me stories of people and life

Dear Star In The Sky
you've taught me what's right

I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my life

Protect them again
With your shiny spotlight

3. Broken Hearted Daughter
- By Tarryn Miller
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2014
From age 13 to present (age 18) my relationship with my father has been starting to fade away. We have not gotten along, and deep down inside I wish we could. This poem goes out to all of the daughters feeling mentally abused or emotionally heart broken by their fathers. I hope for daughters to read this and know that they're not the only ones suffering through a rough time with their fathers.

Poem About Bad Father Daughter Relationship

Photographs of you holding me in your arms,
You protected me from any kind of harm,
You influenced me to play guitar,
I was always your number one rock star.

Photographs of you holding me in your arms,
You protected me from any kind of harm,
You influenced me to play guitar,
I was always your number one rock star.

You looked so proud to be my dad,
But now every day you look so sad,
I wonder why you turned into this,
You're violent with your tone and not your fists.

I'm thankful you're not abusive physically,
But you turn my emotions into misery,
Money seems like your only desire,
You're only happy when your income is higher.

Why can't you just be happy and smile,
It could make you feel better for awhile,
You never wipe my tears as they fall,
The problem between us is far from small.

There is an empty spot in my soul,
Our relationship is taking a toll,
I love you with all my heart,
I don't want our relationship to fall apart.

It's holding on by one last thread,
I regret the bad things that I said,
Can't you realize the expression across my face,
It's drawn with dark colors of disgrace.

But I guess you just can't see,
How much you really mean to me,
I wish I could have a dad and not just a father,
That would always be there for his daughter.

You never care what I have to say,
Tears fill my eyes as I look away,
I cannot hide my pain any longer,
Please change soon or I'll be a goner.

4. Inside
- By Nikki L. Rench
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
Growing up is very difficult, a mixture of leaving behind and embracing new challenges.

Bottled up inside
Are the things I never said,
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read

Bottled up inside
Are the things I never said,
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read

You can see it in my eyes,
Read it on my face,
Trapped inside are lies,
Of the past I can't replace

With memories that linger,
And won't seem to go away,
Why can't I be happier?
Today's a brand new day

Yesterdays are over
Even though the hurting is not,
Nothing lasts forever,
I must cherish what I've got

Don't take my love for granted,
For soon it will be gone,
All you've ever wanted,
Of the love you thought you won

The feelings I have now
Won't disappear overnight,
But somehow, someway everything will be alright

I'm leaving now
To slay the foe
Fight my battles
High and low

I'm leaving parents
Hear me go
Please wish me luck today

I've grown my wings, I want to fly
Seize my victories where they lie
I'm going guys, but please don't cry
Just let me find my way

I want to see, and touch, and hear,
Though there are dangers, thoughts, and fears,
I'll smile my smiles, and wipe my tears
Please let me speak my say

I'm off to find, my world, my dreams,
Carve my niche, sew my seams
Remember as I sail my seas,
I'll love you all the way

5. Thank You, Mom
- By Abby
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2015
This is about how much I appreciate my mom, and even if I don't let her know this all the time, I truly do love her.

Poem About My Mom

If you don't know
How much you mean
Not just to the world
But also to me

If you don't know
How much you mean
Not just to the world
But also to me
Then let me tell you
All of these things

We may fight
And we may cry
But I'll never forget
That you're by my side

In the midst of it all
I know who to call
My hero, my friend
The one I call Mom

I may not be perfect
But as you can see
I love you so much
You mean everything to me

Day in and day out
You're up and about
Thinking of ways
To help the family out

When I'm grown up
My only dream
Is to be as good a mom
As you are to me

When it gets tough
You'll remind me that life's rough
But that doesn't mean
You aren't there for me

In the midst of it all
I know who to call
My hero, my friend
The one I call Mom.

6. Thank You For My Whole World
- By Veronika J.
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2009
A poem expressing the gratefulness a daughter has for everything her mother single-handedly did for her.

Grateful For Mother Poem

Thank you for being there
Every step of the way
Thank you for guiding me
When I went astray

Thank you for being there
Every step of the way
Thank you for guiding me
When I went astray

Thank you for your kisses
When I was afraid at night
Thank you for comforting me
When I got a fright

Thank you for everything and anything you did
Throughout my whole life
Thank you for being my whole world
Thank you for my life

But most of all I thank you
For everything you've done
Because there wouldn't be a me
With a you, Mum!

7. You're My Best Friend
- By Ashley
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2010
I went through cancer at 10, and my dad was always there for me. He is my best friend, so I wrote this for him.

A Poem For Dad

You're more than a dad
But a kind, loving man

You showed me the ways

You're more than a dad
But a kind, loving man

You showed me the ways
In which I stand

You taught me good from bad
And all there is to know

I love you so much,
And your gentleness shows

You care for me and love me so much
You watch over me with your gentle touch

You make me feel special
With all the love you show

Thank you, dad, for being there for me
Through the rough and so

You're not only my dad
But a best friend, it's true

For I love you so much
And this is from me to you

8. Mum, I Love You
- By Tiffany
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2009
Blessed To Have You As A Mother

Mum, it's hard to find the words to say
To show how much you mean to me,
But if it weren't for your love and care,
I don't know where I'd be.

Mum, it's hard to find the words to say
To show how much you mean to me,
But if it weren't for your love and care,
I don't know where I'd be.

How did you do it all, Mum,
Be a chauffeur, cook, and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate?
I just can't comprehend.

"Mother" is such a simple word,
But to me there's meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother's love showed me the way.

Nobody's equal to you, Mum.
With you in my life, I'm blessed.
I love you so, and I want you to know
I think you're the very best.

Words cannot say how I love you, Mum,
And just how much I owe.
Please know that I'll always be there for you too,
In the high times and low.

9. My Grandpa
- By Mariah Lee
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2015
My Grandpa has cancer and he is slowly fading right before my eyes. I wrote this poem to let him know how much I love and treasure him and Grandma, also to try and cheer him up. :) They are both so amazingly special and have been the best role models any grandchild could ever ask for. My Grandpa has always done the best he can and has always loved God with his whole heart. When my Grandpa dies I know he will go straight to Heaven to live with Jesus. Grandma will miss him. So will I.

Poem About A Wonderful Grandfather

My Grandpa is the best by far,
He's loving, kind, and good.
He always gives me wise advice,
He's always understood.

My Grandpa is the best by far,
He's loving, kind, and good.
He always gives me wise advice,
He's always understood.
Whenever I am needing him,
He's always there for me.
He says life has a purpose,
Just you wait and see.
My Grandpa does remind me
Of God's unending grace.
I believe him as he says this,
For love lights up his face.
My Grandpa's always faithful
To Grandma, his special wife.
They've been together lovingly
For almost their whole life.
Whenever Grandpa's laughing,
Grandma laughs along.
When they laugh together,
It sounds like a sweet, sweet song.
One day when I grow up,
And I am old and gray,
I hope to be like Grandpa
In each and every way.

10. Just This One Mother's Day
- By Rebecca
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2010
I'm fifteen years old now, but I was six when my mom died. Every Mother's Day is hard, but this year seems like it will be the hardest. I wrote this one explaining what I would do if I could have my mom just for this Mother's Day.

If I could pick one day to have her here,
I'd choose it to be this Mother's Day.
This occasion out of all the others,
It's going to be harder than words could say.

If I could pick one day to have her here,
I'd choose it to be this Mother's Day.
This occasion out of all the others,
It's going to be harder than words could say.

On that one day we'll do it all,
And I wouldn't waste a single minute.
I'd keep going all day, hour after hour,
And If I got tired I would never quit.

Just knowing it was my last chance
To show her all of my love.
Because it must be hard for her to see,
Watching from up above.

I'd make her a very special card,
As I make them for people all the time.
But hers wouldn't be like the rest,
Above all others hers would shine.

It would say Dear Mom, I love you,
I'm proud to be your daughter.
Then I'd hug her tightly
And hold her while I've got her.

She'd French braid my hair in the end,
Just like she always used to.
I'd smile at her when it was done,
And say, "Oh mom, I love you!"

I'd tell her how scared I am,
Because my surgery is the next day.
But she'd tell me she'd be with me,
Holding my hand all the way.

I'd cry when it was dark out,
Knowing the day would soon end.
Although she won't be here forever,
In my dreams I can always pretend.

11. Broken
- By Sarah R.Ramsey
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2008
An eleven-year-old girl pours out what her "father" did to her, also saying what she thinks of him...

Poem About Father Breaking Daughter's Spirit

You broke my trust for you
Just as you broke your promises.
You broke my love for you
Just as you can break a twig.

You broke my trust for you
Just as you broke your promises.
You broke my love for you
Just as you can break a twig.
You smashed my heart into a million pieces
Just as you can give a shirt a thousand creases.
So now you got me broken inside.
Sometimes now I just want to hide.
You never cared for me; that's why I feel broken,
And you know that I'm not at all joking.
You never loved me.
That's why I'm choking up with tears.
You never listened to me.
It's like you didn't have ears.
Your heart is cold; it's always been pitch black,
And now you made my heart have a huge crack.
Whenever I stood up,
You shoved me back down.
You always acted like I wasn't around,
And when I had the guts to say something,
You only ignored me.
That's why sunshine
Is something you'll never see.
That's also why you'll never be
Like a father to me.
Whenever I spoke up, you hushed me.
Whenever I told you something, you shushed me.
That's why I'm leaving you behind,
But unfortunately only in my mind.

12. I'm Sorry...Dad
- By Shayla Pearl H.
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2015
My Name is Shayla and I am 15 years old. People have been quite an inconsistent factor in my life, my Dad included. For years our relationship was on/off because of his lack of effort, but I always longed for that father/daughter relationship that I saw other young girls have. Now that I'm older, we go through stages of talking and not talking, but it seems to be more on my terms. It is a little sad, but I have my siblings, so I'm never alone and I love my life!

Poem Feelings Towards My Lousy Father

I'm sorry you missed the day I came home.
I'm sorry you left my Mum all alone.
I'm sorry you missed the first time I walked.
And I'm sorry you missed the first time I talked.

I'm sorry you missed the day I came home.
I'm sorry you left my Mum all alone.
I'm sorry you missed the first time I walked.
And I'm sorry you missed the first time I talked.

I'm sorry you missed tucking me in at night.
I'm sorry you missed turning off my light.
I'm sorry you missed me getting my first fright.
And I'm sorry you weren't there to tell me it's alright.

I'm sorry you never really cared,
Never bothered to make a call.
In fact, I'm not sorry in the slightest bit.
I'm not sorry at all.

You should be sorry,
Sorry to me,
And sorry to all of us,
For what you couldn't be.

A Dad is supposed to love,
Protect, worship and care.
A Dad is supposed to do all of this,
But most importantly be there.

But you couldn't provide,
Protect or care.
You couldn't worship.
And you couldn't be there

Because you made the choice
To never try with me.
Sure, you're on and off now,
But it's just too late, you see.

I mean, I get it now.
And although this makes me sad...
You will always be my father.
You'll just never be my Dad.

13. A Different Kind Of Hero
- By Kelsee Briscoe
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
What kinds of heroes are there?

He is not the kind of hero who is fighting in the war.
He is not one who sails offshore.

I don't call him Sergeant, Captain, or Sir.

He is not the kind of hero who is fighting in the war.
He is not one who sails offshore.

I don't call him Sergeant, Captain, or Sir.
His title is DAD; that is for sure!

He is the fixer of my broken things
And the household doctor when I get bee stings.

He picks me up when I fall down
And always turns my frown upside down.

He keeps me safe when I sleep at night.
He gives me seconds when I have a big appetite.

That's my Dad. That's who he is.
He deserves a medal for the things he did.

15. What About Me
- By Jami McCormick
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
A girl talks about her place within her family in which she feels she is unappreciated and unloved.

Unappreciated And Unloved In Family Poem

My sister gets all the love
And support she needs
She has always been first
In your mind and heart

My sister gets all the love
And support she needs
She has always been first
In your mind and heart

But what about me

My brother gets anything
He wants even when he
Doesn't deserve it at all
Because he's the baby

But what about me

I'm the one you can
Count on to watch the
Animals or the kid when
You go somewhere

But what about me

I'm the one that is the
Last person to know
What's going on and
The last one you consider

But what about me

What if I want to go
With you when you go
What if I want to do
The same things with you

But what about me

Why don't I get the same
Kind of love and support
That they get, aren't I
Just as important

But what about me

Don't I deserve the same
Consideration as them
Don't I deserve the same
Kind of love and support

But what about me

Am I not your daughter
Don't I deserve the same
As your other daughter
Or your son

But what about me

If I try to tell you how
I feel you get angry and
Upset that I feel this way
Why can't you understand

But what about me

I can't understand why
My feelings make you
Angry and why I am the
One that always gets left behind

But what about me

Why don't you take me
With you or plan things
So that I can go with you
Or be more involved in your life

But what about me

It's like you don't know me
Or even care to know me
So I guess I'll just leave
You three alone

But what about me

Don't call me if you want
Someone to watch the animals
Or the kid until you include me
Because I want to be included

But what about me

I am no longer the watcher
I guess I will make it by myself
Until I feel I am accepted by the
Family I was born into

But what about me

Until then, I stand alone

16. The Best Grandma!
- By Madison Howard
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2014
I wrote this poem because I love my grandma, but sadly I'm losing her to brain cancer. She was always there for me when I needed her and even if I didn't need her.
Love you, Nana!!!

You were there for me
when I needed you
you helped me see
the better things in life

You were there for me
when I needed you
you helped me see
the better things in life

My first day of school
you said I would rule
You waited for me right outside
it was like you never left my side

When I was sad
you made me smile
you told me family stories
for a long while

You taught me
two + two
and how to tie my shoe
so thank you for being you

I Love You Nana!

17. Daddy Can You Hear Me
- By Tegan Peck
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2007
This is about my real dad I have never met. This poem may be long, but it has feeling. I wrote this when I turned fourteen. This year I hope I do get to meet him.

Poem About Wanting To Meet Dad

Daddy, are you out there?
Daddy, come home
Daddy, please meet me
Daddy, are you alone?

Daddy, are you out there?
Daddy, come home
Daddy, please meet me
Daddy, are you alone?

You missed all my smiles
you missed all my tears
you missed all my laughs
you missed all my fears

I hope you come find me
and see who I've become
you can come and see us
Tayler, Dad and Mum

do you ever think of me?
do you ever wonder?
do you know what I'm scared of
lighting or thunder?

have you forgotten
who I really am
well, I'm the baby girl
that you and mum planned

would you ever love me
would you ever care
would you ever hold me
like a teddy bear

do you want to know me
do you want to see
the person who I am
and the person I'll be

do you have a picture
that you hold in your hand
or are you too scared
to know who I am

Can you write me a letter
and tell me who you are
so I can see who my dad is
and see if he's a star

well, I hope I get to know you
and you get to know me
'cause I really want to meet you
and the person you have been.

I knew a girl at my school who was pregnant and scared, so I thought by writing a poem for her it would make her feel better, and it did. She now has it printed and hanging up.

Hopeful Poem On Teenage Pregnancy

It happened at the age of sixteen.
She was scared to look up at that screen.
Knowing there was a little heartbeat,
She would soon get kicked out to the street.

It happened at the age of sixteen.
She was scared to look up at that screen.
Knowing there was a little heartbeat,
She would soon get kicked out to the street.
So she kneeled down to pray,
How could I make this go away?
The thought then came in her mind,
But she knew she could not cross that line.
She was scared and all alone
And knew she could not go home.
Life began to get too rough,
But she knew she had to be tough.
Just when she thought everyone had gone,
It happened at the light of dawn.
When she woke up in that room,
She then started to bloom.
Seeing the sight of her little girl,
With her red hair and that one tiny curl.
She knew her life was now complete,
Hearing her daughter's healthy heartbeat.

19. My Mother, Always There For Me
- By Mackenzie Ford
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2011
I am 13 years of age and my mother has always been there for my and she is the only one I can trust. I don't have a father. He left when I was 3. I look to my mom for advice and for a shoulder to cry on.

You are greatly loved,
You are greatly cherished!
Without I would be lost, without you I would be forever scared.
You are my anchor, my pillar of safety.

You are greatly loved,
You are greatly cherished!
Without I would be lost, without you I would be forever scared.
You are my anchor, my pillar of safety.
The special connection we have holds my to this place.
You have happiness, and you have love from me.
I love you with my whole being!
You are my friend, my teacher, my mentor.
You are my mother and I love you!

20. My Mother, My Hero
- By Ritwik Shandilya
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2016
My mother is a real superhero. She is the sweetest, loveliest, cutest, and the best gift presented to me by God. Mom, love you always.

A Mother's Eternal Love

My mother,
She wakes before me, sleeps after me.
She gets me ready fast and steady.

My mother,
She wakes before me, sleeps after me.
She gets me ready fast and steady.

Sometimes I wonder if she is a robot.
Needs no pay, just our smiles,
Never takes rest, no matter cold or hot.
Never gets tired though she has a pile to do.
If there is a superhero, it's my mother.

I'm blessed to be blessed by her.
She scolds me and hugs me,
Makes me cry and makes me laugh.
Her touch is softer than fur.
She cares for everyone: me, my brother, and father.
If there is a superhero, it's my mother.

Mothers can die for their children,
But my mother loves me more than just that.
She is like the sweetest dove,
Sitting on a tree of love.
I am blessed that she is my mother.
If there is a superhero, it's my mother.

I know we can't always be together,
But no one can hold us apart.
She is my life,
She is my heart,
She is my mother,
She is my superhero.
