Two big warm brown eyes

You hide your pain but I know

How could I forget?

Kathryn Reif

In the closeness

Only felt by people

In your family

Megan Fliegel

A vital life force

Family makes or breaks you

Shaping all your soul

Brittany Bethel

this love-so unique,

it's unconditional and

pure-its genetic

Mia Gruenberg

sometimes I wonder

how can we be related?

yet the blood binds

Lindsay Ludwig

You are my family

Our journey has been strange enough

I always love you

Kathryn Reif

Our house never sleeps

with the hoopla from four kids.

God Bless my parents.

Claire Kubiesa

just sitting around

spending time with each other

that is all it takes

Lindsay Ludwig

Feeling I Belong

In the Arms of my mother

I am not alone

Brittany Bethel

Born into the world

emerging with nothing

except family

Aaron Kline

The skeleton of

earthen brick and coal

Under a red ant

Seve Ponce de Leon

My father so poor

Met is refugee of war

To make a dream come true

Natasha Stevens

A last name you share

A bond stronger than ever

Linking you for life

Megan Fliegel

A leaf flies alone

Among the clouds and the rain

Whirling in the wind
