Yes Brooke it is too bad that all families can't be like Miranda's - loving. Many children grow up in unhappiness. Great acrostic form - good luck in the contest.

Comment from Preston McWhorter
Hi,:-)Brooke,
"My Family" is an excellent acrostic poem meeting all of the requirements of that genre. It has excellent rhyme and good flow. It has a good structure of rhyming couplets and still meets the structural requirements of the acrostic form. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Victoria K
Brooke,
Your poems are always fantastic, but this one really touched my heart and literally brought tears to my eyes. My daughter is 10 and since she came into the world, I have been keenly aware that not all children receive the same love and opportunities that she does.
As always, your message is conveyed through the grace and beauty of your words. I love how the Acrostic spells My Family.
Perfection :)

Comment from Auroraboreal800
I like the picture! Sawyer is one lucky boy. Love in his family is so obvious. You are right, there are many children out there who are not loved. And sadly, those children are the one who are abused.
I liked how this poem flows.
Very good job Brooke!
:)

Aurora, thank you so much, and the unloved ones are so handicapped in their prospects for the future, so the cycle continues... Brooke
Comment from Jendowoz
What a lovely poem. Family is so important. To have one is great but to have a loving one is the ultimate. It is so obvious that Sawyer has.
Regards,
Jen

You see, Brooke... God has a reason for everything. My parents separated when I was 5 years old. Before I didn't understand why, but as I mature... I gradually understood and accepted.
God bless Sawyer's family. He is such a luck boy with a loving parents and a grandma who rocks! c", Mae

Comment from Dibul
Beautifully written, Brooke! I like the way you've combined the two forms.
Fate refuses to be fair --
Ask a child who longs to share
Breaks my heart! It is sad that many kids do not get to experience the joy of having a family - a loving mom, a caring dad, and siblings to play and share.
Your rhymes are great as usual. :) Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is a heartbreaking poem that the author has created with this piece of work. This is so very true. Not everybody has the good fortune to grow up in a happy family environment. We should feel blessed. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Artist Dilemma
Families is what life is all about. You have captured a real affect of a family with brilliant words and rhyming, (as usual you do not disappoint.) It is great to read.
