Best Poems About Family Love and Support
Family is the one in which unconditional love, anger, and quarrels can coexist. The important thing is that there's nothing like family. Family is always a source of love we'll never have to earn, the place we go for help and support, and the ever-steady constant in the inevitable changes of life.
The love of our family is the tonic for us to sustain and keeps us going in any situation of life. Here are the Best Poems About Family Love and Support that explain the importance of family. By reading these poems you can feel the depth of love in family.
Family In My Life
My life is filled,
With loving people.
This makes me feel,
So darn grateful.
I am honored for those,
Wonderful people.
They make life so,
It's darn peaceful.
So thank you, Mom,
And thank you, Dad.
You’ve both made me,
So darn glad.
And then there are Grandparents,
Sisters, brothers, uncles, and aunts.
You’ve all given me,
Everything I could want.
Have fun together.
My mother and I
Help each other.
My mother and I
Go places together.
My mother and I
Mid pleasures and palaces, though we may roam.
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home;
A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there,
Which, sought through the world, is ne’er met elsewhere.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
There’s no place like home.
An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain;
Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage again;
The birds, singing gayly, that came at my call —
Give me them — and the peace of mind, dearer than all.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
There’s no place like home
The Necklace of Love
No rubies of red for my lady —
No jewel that glitters and charms,
But the light of the skies in a little one’s eyes,
And a necklace of two little arms.
Of the two little arms that are clinging,
Oh, ne’er was a necklace like this!
And the wealth of the world and Love’s sweetness impearled,
In the joy of a little one’s kiss.
A necklace of love for my lady,
That was linked by the angels above;
No other but this — and the tender, sweet kiss,
That stealth's a little one’s love.
Family Tree
Everyone is curious about their family tree,
How many Aunts? Was it one or three?
There’s just so much you could find,
You were living in the blind.
It’s certainly great to know your roots,
For the holidays, you’ll find recruits.
It’s just really nice to know,
What your genetic pool will show.
If your family is reallly small,
You may need to make a call,
Ask around and grow your tree,
With this knowledge, you’ll be free.
Look At Your Loved Ones
When families are gathered round
There’s so much love in the air.
If you ever wonder who has your back,
Just look at your loved ones there.
A Snowflake Falls
One night I saw a snowflake fall.
Past memories it did recall.
And as the snow fell to the ground,
So quietly without a sound,
I watched until a blanket was made,
To glistening white-brown earth did fade.
An untouched cover until the dawn.
The sun arose; it was soon gone.
I thought of friendships in the past.
Seemed perfect though they did not last.
And family ties once meant so much,
Now rarely do we keep in touch.
So quickly life can take a turn,
Yet slowly we do seem to learn.
So many things in life can change
And suddenly be rearranged.
In our slumber while we do sleep,
For granted blessings thought to keep,
For same as night does turn to morn,
An untouched blanket can get torn,
The things that we have overlooked,
Ignored, rejected or mistaken,
As melted snow does turn to slush,
Relationships can turn to dust.
So this year for the holiday,
Praise God for the blessings given today.
Don’t take for granted they’ll remain,
That life forever will be the same.
Let’s be the most that we can be,
For all our friends and family.
Unlike the snowflake on the ground,
Let’s keep in touch and stay around.
For a daughter who leaves
A woman weaves
her daughter’s wedding
slippers that will carry
her steps into a new life.
The mother weeps alone
into her jeweled sewing box
slips red thread
around its spool,
the same she used to stitch
her daughter’s first silk jacket
embroidered with turtles
that would bring luck, long life.
She remembers all the steps
taken by her daughter’s
unbound quick feet:
dancing on the stones
of the yard among yellow
butterflies and white-breasted sparrows.
And she grew, legs strong
body long, mind
independent.
Now she captures all eyes
with her hair combed smooth
and her hips gently
swaying like bamboo.
The woman
spins her thread
from the spool of her heart,
knotted to her daughter’s
departing
wedding slippers.
I Love My Family So Much
To be a part of a family like mine
is so divine
where love is shown
hurt is shared
our love for each other is never impaired
we talk
we laugh
we cry
but we are a family
and we do it all together
For a a family
we do it all as one
you hurt one
you hurt all
and as a family unit
we will all stand tall
for we are family
a family full of strength
a family full of love
a family no one can touch
that’s why I love my family so much.
My Parents
You are both special in every way,
Encouraging me more and more with each passing day.
You both are the reason why I’m so strong.
With you two at the helm, not a thing could go wrong.
You’ve both helped me through many trials and tribulations.
You’ve made things better in every situation.
Thank you both for always being there
And showing me that you truly care.
Words could never explain how I feel about you,
But I hope you know that I truly love you two!
What is Family
What is a family without a dog?
That’s like our Mayor without a blog.
You don’t need to watch what you say,
If you require help, you won’t have to pay.
A family can sometimes be a disease,
Insane migraine that smells like cheese.
I never knew what’s the big deal.
A bunch of people that eat the same meal.
In the end, it’s not that bad,
As long as Mom is not always mad.
The trick is to laugh and take this lightly,
If you need salt, just ask politely.
We are family,
although we do not resemble
although I am black and you are white
although you are rich and I am poor
We are family,
even though I am Democrat, and you are Republican
even though your ancestors are from Iraq, and mine are from Africa
even though you teach the class I’m enrolled in
We are family,
although I’m a poet and you are a singer
although you are old and I am young
although I’m a gentleman and you a lady
We are family,
even though you praise Allah and I praise Jesus Christ
even though I love football and you play soccer
even though you are a Sagittarius and I’m a Cancer
We are family,
although I prefer rhythm and blues and you love bluegrass
even though you have a car and I have a bus…to ride
although I have love and you are alone
even though you dress one way, and I dress the other
although my family loves me and yours does not know of you
We are family,
you and I are family,
me and you are family,
no matter what the difference is
family we are, forever
because we are here, and here is earth
and earth is our home
so here, we will live,
we are family.
Family Tree
A family tree is drawn from the top of the page.
Instead, draw mine with roots deeply planted in firm ground
Like forefathers, whose stories retold,
Nourish us.
Draw the trunk giving support and power,
Strongly branching out
So that young shoots can reach high
And buds,
Some yet unfurled,
May catch dreams in sunlight.
Families Can Be
Families can be big or small
The people can be short or tall
They can be full of girls and boys
They can be quiet or full of noise.
Families play a part in life
Even when there is some strife
But families can be full of love
They are truly from God above.
Appreciate your family each day
Don’t wait until they are old and gray
Be sure to say I love you
As families are with you through and through.
A Family Is Like a Circle
A family is like a circle.
The connection never ends,
and even if at times it breaks,
in time it always mends.
A family is like the stars.
Somehow they’re always there.
Families are those who help,
who support, and always care.
A family is like a book.
The ending’s never clear,
but through the pages of the book,
their love is always near.
A family is many things.
With endless words that show
who they are and what they do
and how they teach you so you know.
But don’t be weary if it’s broken
or if through time it’s been so worn.
Families are like that –
they’re split up and always torn.
But even if this happens,
your family will always be.
They help define just who you are
and will be a part of you eternally.
To be a part of a family like mine
is so divine
where love is shown
hurt is shared
our love for each other is never impaired
we talk
we laugh
we cry
but we are a family
and we do it all together
For a a family
we do it all as one
you hurt one
you hurt all
and as a family unit
we will all stand tall
for we are family
a family full of strength
a family full of love
a family no one can touch
that's why I love my family so much.
The Idea Of Ancestry
What it would be like, without a family.
Family is the only one,
Where one experiences the best of fun.
Family is an elegant necklace,
Whose bond may appear broken
But deep inside, their hearts are still one.
When the unwanted sorrows seem longer than a mile,
Your dear old family makes you smile.
When because of a mistake no event
Works out for your sake.
When life refuses to mend
There comes a sharp bend,
Family gives necessary amends,
To the family, all worries can be sent.
In a fraction of time,
Your sorrows will leave
It may sound absurd
But you've got to believe.
Wherever you may be,
You belong to the pack.
And to them, you can always go back.
Family Comes Together
For always and forever
In sickness and in health
In poverty or in wealth
Family comes together
For always and forever
Without any reason
Anytime or any season
Family comes together
For always and forever
In death or in life
In happiness or in strife
Family comes together
For always and forever
In anger or in kindness
Whether all-seeing or blindness
Family comes together
For always and forever
Whether for work or for play
They somehow find a way
For a family to come together
Because families are forever
It is a set of relations, can you say no?
The set is just a combination of children and parents,
There members of households and relatives are inherent.
It means to group of people closely related by blood,
It includes parents, children, uncles and aunts in one clod.
Family also means to group of things that are alike,
It is too all the descendants of one lineage like.
In My Father's Shoes
When my father's life was taken by God.
It was the darkest moment ever
experienced by my mother and family.
We are a family of ten. I am the eldest.
That time I was twenty years of age.
A new graduate and has no job yet.
My mother's teary, query eyes were on me.
I saw in her eyes what she meant
sickly diabetic mother, ten children
with five years as the youngest.
That's a lot to feed in one day and on.
I was dumbstruck. Like in a black cloak
on my face with a small hole to peep.
I have to visualize the future. Survival
I have to toil and family to take care of.
Family
Family is supposed to know you,
There are supposed to be no secrets with family,
There are supposed to be no lies with family,
Family is supposed to love each other unconditionally,
Family is supposed to be there for you,
There is supposed to be understanding in a family,
There is supposed to be trust in a family,
Family is supposed to be there for you,
Family is supposed to understand.
Hurt Me But Not My World Family
Only this me is hurt,
But when you hurt a member of my family
My soul is hurt instantly,
When you hurt my neighbor, friend
My mind is seriously hurt,
Again when you hurt of humans any
Is hurt my injured humanity,
And when you hurt any living being
Is hurt my full sense,
But when you hurt my language, religion, society
And hurt my community
And hurt my country
My soul, mind and sense are hurt severely,
I request you though you are my enemy
Hurt me you like but don't hurt my world family.

Family Court
From the wiles of a stranger
If one’s own kin and kith
Were more fun to be with.

No Children!
No children in the house to play–
It must be hard to live that way!
I wonder what the people do
When night comes on and the work is through,
With no glad little folks to shout,
No eager feet to race about,
No youthful tongues to chatter on
About the joy that’s been and gone?
The house might be a castle fine,
But what a lonely place to dine!
No children in the house at all,
No fingermarks upon the wall,
No corner where the toys are piled–
Sure indication of a child.
No little lips to breathe the prayer
That God shall keep you in His care,
No glad caress and welcome sweet
When night returns you to your street;
No little lips a kiss to give–
Oh, what a lonely way to live!
No children in the house! I fear
We could not stand it half a year.
What would we talk about at night,
Plan for and work with all our might,
Hold common dreams about and find
True union of heart and mind,
If we two had no greater care
Than what we both should eat and wear?
We never knew love’s brightest flame
Until the day the baby came.
And now we could not get along
Without their laughter and their song.
Joy is not bottled on a shelf,
It cannot feed upon itself,
And even love, if it shall wear,
Must find its happiness in care;
Dull we’d become of mind and speech
Had we no little ones to teach.
No children in the house to play!
Oh, we could never live that way!

Human Family
in the human family.
Some of us are serious,
some thrive on comedy.
Some declare their lives are lived
as true profundity,
and others claim they really live
the real reality.
The variety of our skin tones
can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple,
tan and blue and white.
I’ve sailed upon the seven seas
and stopped in every land,
I’ve seen the wonders of the world
not yet one common man.
I know ten thousand women
called Jane and Mary Jane,
but I’ve not seen any two
who really were the same.
Mirror twins are different
although their features jibe,
and lovers think quite different thoughts
while lying side by side.
We love and lose in China,
we weep on England’s moors,
and laugh and moan in Guinea,
and thrive on Spanish shores.
We seek success in Finland,
are born and die in Maine.
In minor ways we differ,
in major we’re the same.
I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike
What Family Means To Me
Than mere words can convey.
It’s been the basis for my life
And how I’ve faced each day.
The nurturing of Mom and Dad
From birth to puberty
Instilled in me a sense of worth
And love for family.
The holiday festivities
The picnics in the park
The campouts by the river
And my Mother’s prayers at dark
Are just a few examples
From my childhood memories
That show the warmth of family
And what they’ve meant to me.
The close knit love of siblings
With my parents’ T.L.C.
Has made me know and feel the warmth
That bonds a family.
Family Likeness
“You’re just like them!” they say.
And me, I yell, “No way!
He’s so moody,
She’s so shrill,
His chin juts out,
Boy can she shout!
His nose is big,
And mine’s quite small
There’s no resemblance at all.”
But then on days of harmony
I find that I agree.
Our family is made of different parts,
But we’re all the same
In our hearts.
Exhibitions Of Love
A peck on the cheek,
A slap on the back,
A hug.
No need to speak.
Family love is all around
Like air in a room
Invisible but always present.
A Mother’s Love
A Mother’s love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking.
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendored miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.
From Dad
The way that I love you
I’m completely fascinated
With everything you do.
I don’t regret a moment with you
Whether good or bad
You have made my life complete,
The best life a boy could have.
You might not ever notice
Everything I do,
But everything I’m doing
Is for no one else but you.
My goal in life is simple
It’s to be your father first.
To protect, defend and love you
When you are at your worst.
I know when you grow older
You won’t want me anymore.
If you ever need me, though
I’ll be waiting at the door.
Promise you will come to me
With any problem that you have.
I’ll always be right here for you.
I love you both! Love, Dad.
My Siblings
Dreams are proliferating so rapidly,
But in the middle of all these,
Memories are embracing so tightly.
The time we spent together was most memorable,
The days we live apart were most dreadful,
The fights we shared together were most dangerous,
Still the care we tend to do is most wondrous.
Rare is the love which I receive from you,
Precious is the knowledge which I receive from you,
But paramount of all these,
Peculiar are my siblings which I receive from God.
My Perfect Father
I took to be born, worked nights so she could sleep
between feeds, soaped me with Johnson’s Baby Bath
alongside two floating books of ABC,
taught me to spell playing Scrabble,
offered a pink smarties if I got the letters right
and yellow when they were wrong,
led nature walks through bluebell woods,
showed me how to swim at Margate pool,
dried my tears when I was scared of diving,
bought me my first Speedo when I did,
loved my mother, my sister and our beagle Simba,
shared his money so we had plenty to eat,
didn’t shatter an airing rod across Simba’s back,
didn’t sleep with nurses, didn’t leave my mum,
my sister, Simba and I. Never lied.
Family
There’s a special kind of closeness
that only families know,
That begins with childhood trust
and deepens as you grow.
There’s a special kind of happiness
in sharing little things,
The laughter, smiles, and quiet talks
that daily living brings.
There’s a special kind of comfort
in knowing your family’s there,
To back you up, to cheer you up
to understand and care.
Of all the treasures life may bring,
your family means the most,
And whether near or far apart,
That love will hold you close.
My Mother
Who sat and watched my infant head
When sleeping on my cradle bed,
And tears of sweet affection shed?
My Mother.
When pain and sickness made me cry,
Who gazed upon my heavy eye,
And wept for fear that I should die?
My Mother.
Who taught my infant lips to pray
And love God’s holy book and day,
And walk in wisdom’s pleasant way?
My Mother.
And can I ever cease to be
Affectionate and kind to thee,
Who was so very kind to me,
My Mother?
Ah, no! the thought I cannot bear,
And if God please my life to spare
I hope I shall reward they care,
My Mother.
When thou art feeble, old and grey,
My healthy arm shall be thy stay,
And I will soothe thy pains away,
My Mother.
The Family Tree
One tree outlives the mighty oak
Because it’s made of special folk,
Through generations changing form,
Providing shelter from life’s storm.
Our parents’ parents and before,
Who may have lived on distant shores,
They root our lives in memories;
We’re nourished by their histories.
A sturdy trunk that lends support
And gives us care of every sort –
The fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts,
Who nurture us like tender plants
The children, branching toward the sky,
Have brand new dreams and deeds to try.
And babies, buds that seem so small,
Will flower so the tree grows tall.
Family Ties
Family ties are precious things
woven through the years,
of memories, togetherness,
of laughter, love and tears.
Family ties are treasured things
forged in childhood days,
by love of parents, deep and true,
by tradition, by family ways.
Family ties are treasured things
and although we may roam,
the tender bond with those we love
still pulls our hearts towards home.
Family
Is it all the little special things one another do
Or is it the bond that one another has
Maybe its the love from one generation to another one it pass
Family is more than a six letter word
It is a word that often need to be heard
Family is more than relatives they are friends
Friend that will stick with you to the very very end
A family bond is stronger than ever
Because it can overcome any stormy weather
A family stand tall no matter how hard they fall
Uniting as one when their backs against the wall
That is simply what a family do
Helping you become a better you
So when you think about the word family
Think beyond just the background history
Like they say a empty house is not a home
And a true faithful family never stands alone
Family Tree
That a family tree is drawn from the top of the page.
Instead, draw mine with roots deeply planted in firm ground
Like forefathers, whose stories retold,
Nourish us.
Draw the trunk giving support and power,
Strongly branching out
So that young shoots can reach high
And buds,
Some yet unfurled,
May catch dreams in sunlight.
A Tribute To The Family
of all the gems our eyes behold,
we look around and see the sky
and all the clouds go rolling by.
We hear the noise of aero planes,
and listen to the birds that sing.
And then O’ God inside of me a voice
speaks so soft and sweet! And then I
raise my hands to Thee and Thank You
for my family. The trees in all their beauty be….
In God’s creation speaks to me. The
grass, the flowers and all the shrubs
and indications of God’s love. The
mountains, valleys, hills, and vales
and even along some lonesome trail
and then O’ God inside of me a voice speaks so soft
and sweet, and then I raise my hands to Thee
and Thank You for my family. We are all created by God above, and
brought together by His love. We are one
blood, we are all kin, and we are also
each others friend. Wherever we travel across this land, we pray that God will
hold our hands. From every sea to shining sea,
where ever I go, wherever I be the soft sweet
voice speaks inside of me, and then I raise
my hands to Thee, O’ God, Thank You for my
family.
An Ocean Of Memories
My father is the hurricane,
knocking anything and everybody out of his path.
My mother is the sunshine after the storm (my father),
clearing and calming everything else.
My oldest brother is the sand,
kicked and blown away by my dad,
but warmed with care by my mom.
My oldest sister is the breeze in the wind,
cool, quiet, and there when you need her.
My other two brothers are the stingrays,
dangerous,
but also willing to fight anyone who comes along.
And I,
I am an old ship at the bottom of the sea,
lost, abandoned, but full of memories.
A Happy Family
A happy family is one blessed by God!
Both parents slog all life for their children;
And children honor parents, without rod;
All walk united on way to Heaven.
A happy family lives in piety;
Their home is warm and welcomes everyone;
They’re satisfied and live with satiety;
There’s time for love, care, work, play, also fun!
A happy family loves its neighbors well;
All share their joys, woes, grief and problems too;
Their faith in God, their smiling faces tell;
With divine aim, all earthly works, they do!
A happy family prays in harmony;
God meets their needs of body, soul, money!
I’m Going Home
The unrelenting tug at my heart
Something is amiss
I’ve been away from home
For too many days weeks months
I’m going home
My mother she misses me
My family is waiting for me
Kinship binds hearts together
Roots of love run deep
I’m going home
No matter how far I’m away
Oceans mountains or miles apart
A part of me never leaves home
Home is where my family resides
I’m going back home
The Thing About Family…
You may not always like them,
But you’re always going to love them.
It just might take a little while sometimes
To remember that.
Family Reunions
Siblings different as day and night
Same environment we grew up in
Each carrying one’s own character
Diverse values and mindsets
Distinct set of life priorities
Living out lives in various ways
When occasion calls for a reunion
Grievances and complaints cast aside
Differences melt into saw dust
Nothing heavy nothing embarrassing
Just happy chat as best as can be
Reveling in family ties for good measure
Memories of the old a common thread
Laughter and merry-making aplenty
Cherishing the limited time together
Basking in unbreakable bonds of kinship
Before each departing back to own life
Oh the ties of family and reunions
Family Reunion
we watch as the busyness of life allows time to slip away.
Before we know, days turn to months and months into years,
Time is mapped with laughter and cheers,
the long road sometimes landmarked with sadness and tears.
Elders pass and children grow.
Has it been that long we ask, where does the time go?
Not every chance to gather is taken.
“We’ll see them next time,” we say and hope we’re not mistaken.
A chance like now comes once in a lifetime, it seems,
when the bright light of family is nurtured and beams.
There will be laughter and time to reminisce.
We will all be proud this is a chance we did not miss.
My Family
Looking back at my life
my family has always been there
right from the start of my life
we have a long history together
Inevitably there will be moments
of conflicting emotions even anger
yet family is my stronghold
in times of crises and sufferings
When I was down
my family was there to pick me up
when I was unwell and ill
my family poured forth love and care
During times when I was lost
I was guided back to my family
during times when I was forlorn
my family was my undying supporters
Through tears and anguish
through joys and laughter's
through growing up and maturing
my family weathered through it all
My heart fills up tenderly
with love and appreciation
with deep emotions and deep gratitude
my family is always a part of my life!
My Equator…The Center Of The World
at its highest peak.
You have courage
when the rest of us are weak.
You inspire me
to live for the now
and to never give up
because you don’t know how.
I’ve learned from you
why family comes first.
It’s because when you need them,
they’re there when you hurt.
No matter the pain,
it all hurts the same.
And family you can count on
to always remain.
When the road gets rocky,
you seem to take each bump
and walk over them smoothly,
hump after hump.
You have no idea
about the effect you’ve made,
and with the lessons I’ve learned
my life’s made a change.
Not just a change
but also a growth.
From an immature child
to a young woman with hope.
Family
God gave each of us a special family
that we can call our own.
A family that loves us for who we are
so we would never feel alone.
They may not like everything we do
or everything we say,
but the beautiful thing about “family”
is that they love us anyway.
Sometimes we feel rejected
by people who do not care,
but our hearts are warmed when remembering
that our family is always there!
So hug them a little more often,
for sometimes we hurt the ones we love.
And tell them how much you love them,
for they were sent to you from above.
Family Matters
The thought to make a call
To just one family member
Who we rarely see at all?
Do we know if they are doing well
Or married still?
Do we know if someone close to them
Is sick or very ill?
Are we concerned at how much time
Has passed since we last met?
And are we sure we can afford
To sit and just forget?
We should not waste another day
In doing things we’d rather.
Instead, we should reach out once more
Because our family matters.
