Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Confusion indeed.
A very thoughtful, and factual series of AABB quatrains. The whose who, and who belongs to who has definitely become quite complex.
You have managed to put forth a point of view, focus and clarify an issue and write and rhyme quatrains well.

Thank you Shirley.
Comment from Joan E.
Yours is a complicated clan--my and my husband's parents are deceased as is my only sibling and we have no grandchildren--so counting for an obit would be a lot easier, but we're not counting! Your photo makes the point moot!! I enjoyed your rhymed couplets and agree with your conclusion: "count them all." Cheers- Joan

Comment from risktaker
Thanks for expressing this viewpoint. It is relevant to society today and the children are being rejected through no fault of their own. We all came from love and desire.
they are here on earth and deserve love, nurture, and affection.I like the message and the rhyme.The photo is great and appropriate. Thanks

Comment from rod007
A perceptive poem. I agree totally. It is not about bloodlines but how kids are raised, that's the key to building new generations who are compassionate, and good citizens.

Comment from Ben Colder
I read this thinking of my own. Wow! We sure took God serious when He said, be fruitful and multiply. Three years ago our grandchildren had three sets of twins. NOW AT FAMILY REUNION TIME. Well, you know the story. Well done, poet. I know you love them all, even if you do loose count.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello Treischel, A timely poem as the world of marriage and children are being torn apart, but one thing that cannot be torn is true love. The heart of a family is love, and the love that comes from within, and not society's approval or the legal systems approval because no one can control the love within our hearts, and that love will prevail.
Of note:
Most difficult are attitudes taken
Of acceptance, which can be forsaken
From bitter divorce, great anger, or crime.
These things are happening all of the time.
(Along with the brainwashing of young minds.)
Good commentary. A thought-provoking poem.
Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer
