A Gift to Our Family

Show gratitude to those who support families during a difficult time

This poem highlights the wonderful people who understand, care, and are loyal to families and friends, likening them to resilient flowers. These families feel blessed to have such individuals, acknowledging their immeasurable value. Thank you to those wonderful people who selflessly help families who suffer from loss or hardship.

I wrote this poem for my stepmother, who married my father when he was 75 and she was 65. It is never too late to start something new! She came into our lives many years after our mother died and has filled Dad’s lonely heart, and our extended family’s lives, with unconditional love for over 16+ years so far.

The three flowers I mention in the poem, all bloom in harsh environments. I chose this photo as it reflects the pricelessness of a physical gift to adequately say thank you to these beautiful people. Beverley Joy.

PODCAST – A Gift To Our Family

You came to us in our time of loss

And kindly offered a step-up

You understood, you helped where you could

You listened with your heart

You didn’t blame or judge.

A card is inadequate to express

The value of your life to us

The loyalty and care you possess

For our family.

A gift is too inexpensive

To show the quality, so priceless
