Family

All my poems need edits, I write them off the bat and never really revisit to improve them. I take pleasure if the fact that these were the words that came out as I typed.

Families are so special

I think they pre date time

Your born into one without a choice

no reason nor rhyme

Families can be odd

and the members can be burks

But you wouldn't choose another

in spite of all their quirks

as the family that is yours

has been shaped from gene to gene

and their oddities and talents

are encased within your being

You mother always loves you

and shows you where to go

She wards off poor decisions

And she listens when your low

Your dad he is your hero

He's good at many things

He make you feel so special

with the time for you he brings

Your siblings are a challenge

and drive you round the bend

But the older that you grow

the more they are your friend

They're family because some how

some where in the past

the love between a mum and dad

came together with a blast

And so it's time for you to shape

your family, born and grown

and apply all of the things you learnt

and a few things of your own

They'll always be your babies

and alone won't have enough

so drown them in your adoration

time, support and love.
