Best Family Poems For Kids

Here are a few beautiful family poems for kids to help your little ones understand different relationships.

1. Family

By Glenda Campbell

There’s a special kind of closeness

that only families know,

That begins with childhood trust

and deepens as you grow.

There’s a special kind of happiness 

in sharing little things,

The laughter, smiles and quiet talks

that daily living brings.

There’s a special kind of comfort

in knowing your family’s there,

To back you up, to cheer you up

to understand and care.

Of all the treasure life may bring,

your family means the most,

And whether near or far apart

that love will hold you close. 

2. To My Family With Love

By Anna C. Butler

The love of this family can show the work of God,

To prevail over our weakest of moments

To lend a hand or a broken heart.

To cry or laugh with one another shall always be

Embraced with open arms and a smiling face.

Times are tough, but alone you will never be

To have the love of this family

It’s as easy as One, Two, Three. 

The joy of a birth, to watch a little life grow

Are memories to cherish that we will never let go.

The pain of a death, the emptiness filled inside

The family is all here, no need to hide.

Over the years our surroundings have changed

Now God has blessed us with little James.

May our daughter grow into little women,

They better all remember my sweet baby lemon.

To be so lucky to have a family like this, 

When we all get to heaven, God deserves a big kiss. 

In our souls, minds, and hearts

May this family never be torn apart

The love of this family has shown me the work of God,

To realize this gift for the world to see, how much my family cares for me.

May our love grow and carry on even long after we are all gone

Thank you to my family for the love that you all show

Every good deed God will surely know.

3. Families Can Be

By Catherine Pulsifer

Families can be big or small

The people can be short or tall

They can be full of girls and boys

They can be quiet or full of noise. 

Families play a part of life

Even when there is some strife.

But families can be full of love

They are truly from God above.

Appreciate your family each day

Don’t wait until they are old and grey.

Be sure to say I love you

As families are with you through and through. 

4. Uncle and Aunts

By Kelly Roper

Uncles and aunts 

Are often like second parents

They love you from little further away,

But they step in when the need warrants.

Aunts and uncles

Are there when you need them, like

When you can’t go to mom and dad 

Because you’re worried you’ll displease them.

Uncle and aunts

Sometimes they teach you cool things,

Like how to catch a fish

Or crochet something.

Aunts and uncles 

Can be quite funny, though

Sometimes they will share stories

Your parents never wanted you to know.

Yes uncle and aunts 

Make family life richer.

So tell them how glad you are

That they are in your family picture. 

5. From Dad

By Richard Burge

I never thought I could love someone

The way that I love you

I completely fascinated

With everything you do. 

I don’t regret a moment with you

Whether good or bad 

You have made my life complete,

The best life a boy could have.

You might not ever notice

Everything I do,

But everything I’m doing 

Is for no one else but you. 

My goal in life is simple

It’s to be your father first.

To protect, defend and love you

When you are at your worst.

I know when you grow older

You won’t want me anymore.

If you ever need me, though 

I’ll be waiting at the door. 

Promise you will come to me

With any problem that you have.

I’ll always be right here for you.

I love you both! Love, Dad.

6. Sisters and Brothers

By Marie Tully

If I had a brother I’d like him to be

Happy, good looking, cheerful and free.

If I had a sister I’d like her to say

She’d be my best sister day after day.

If my brother was older I’d like him to be

Protective like king Arthur and always mind me.

If my sister was older I’d like her to be

A shoulder to cry on, a true friend to me.

Now if my brother was younger and I was the boss

I’d let him keep worms and bright green frogs.

And as for my sister being younger than me

Who would dress up with crowns, makeup and gowns. 

But as I have neither I don’t have to bother

About having a sister or brother. 

7. Family In My Life

By Julie Hebert

My life is filled,

With loving people.

This makes me feel

So darn grateful.

I am honoured for those

Wonderful people. 

They make life so, 

Real darn peaceful. 

So thank you, Mom

And thank you, Dad.

You’ve both made me

So darn glad.

And there are Grandparents,

Sisters, brothers, uncles and aunts. 

You’ve all given me

Everything I want.
