~ The
Family ~
A poem is
a love
song, sung
by it’s
author’s
pen.
A poem is
the
acquaintance
of a new
and
trusted
friend.
A poem is
a family,
a
genealogy
of word,
kinfolk of
the
author’s
clan, a
grandpa’s
stories
heard.
The mother
is a
fertile
mind, the
father is
a pen,
as they
consummate
their
marriage,
a poem may
begin.
Each lyric
is a
sibling,
stair-cased
before the
eye,
each line
a mother’s
teaching,
each rhyme
a baby’s
cry.
Now she’s
finished
bearing,
her family
is
complete.
She lines
them up so
proudly
for all of
you to
greet.
The father
writes the
title, his
little
family’s
name.
For this
family
poem no
credit do
I claim.
The Lord
gave
inspiration,
let me
bless His
name.
The name I
bless is
Jesus,
true
friend and
family.
I’m a
child of
His,
adopted,
'cause he
paid the
price for
me.
I feel so
very
lucky, I’m
fortunate
indeed!
One day my
branch was
grafted to
Calvary’s
Family
tree!
