The Family's First Television
Mama plugs the cord into the wooden wall,
The bare outlet thrumming with manmade life.
With a rousing growl, the box awakens.
Mama steps out from behind the little stand to sit with the family.
All nine of the family are gathered around, watching as shrouded
Figures emerge from black and white mist.
The family cranes in, as Mama turns a dial upon
The face of the box.
The image clears, and sound pours from the tinny speakers.
A gray face has entered the room,
Entered the house.
He begins talking about far-off things happening in far-off
Places that the family have never heard of.
The family is enthralled
In the soft electric glow
Of this wondrous creation.
The youngest touches the screen
Perhaps not understanding that the man
Is actually far away
The distance swept
By the tides of technology.

A Father
The Classic Family
A man, his wife, and four children
Is this a dream?
Could this be the perfect family?
Or do we drop back to reality
Wife and children faced with life threatening fear
Not by ghouls or goblins, but by the man known as their protector
Do all men follow what society tells them?
Or do they do whats only best for themselves
A once beautiful family turns to a night mare
Only a few escape the pain
Only a few can move on
And even less succeed
What if these children had their protector in reach
Would they turn out superior
Did they succeed in spite, or in the will to escape
To those who dont, imagine that one man
That one father, could have changed their lives forever
But now that once perfect family is in ruins
A family that can never be fixed
Some scars will heal, these do not
They are carved under the skin
Not shown to the public, only to the people who seek
And once it is seen their story will appear
One story that cannot be forgotten
One story that is ridden with pain and fear
And the fact will be seen that there is never happiness here

LOVE RESPECTS
Love respects everyone always,
Love respects everyone's way of life,
Everyone's way of living needs respect,
Love respects everyone always :)
Love respects everyone's opinions,
Love helps us understand everyone's choices,
Respecting everyone's choices encourages understanding,
Love respects everyone's opinions :)
Love respects our needs and desires,
Love knows our needs include respect,
Our desires need respect to be understood,
Love respects our needs and desires :)
Love respects family always,
Love understands a families' influence,
Our parents' decisions need respect,
Love respects family always :)

''A Girl Child Is God's Gift''
Girls are treasure to one's family,
Girls give moral strength to the family
Girls are the future of every nation
Girls needs a little amount of care,
a hand ful of warmth,
a heartful of love;
education to girls,
will lift the family.
Let the girls also be
smiling and happy.
