PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As a family we make memories

from our times of childhood

and as parents we attempt to ensure

all these memories are good.

So we do everything we can,

we expend all our energies,

to guarantee our family

is making happy memories.

But we’re also aware, life has its ups and downs

its ascendancies and dives.

And we can’t prevent bad memories

from entering our lives.

Which means when memories are bad

when unhappiness increases

we are there with all our love

to help pickup the pieces.

Knowing the best that we can hope for

in this thing called parenthood

is that when all is said and done…

most of our memories are good.
