My name is Nandita Shanbhag. I am a copy writer by profession and a poetess by passion. I love to express my thoughts in verses. If my poem can touch a heart or heal a soul , I feel that I have fulfilled my objective. My dream is to spearhead a movement for the creation of a world where children will be secure and happy and live their lives to the fullest. My parents, my sister and my dear friends always motivate me. I am encouraged at every step by my loving husband. My lovely daughters are my inspiration.

First day Lily arrived late from school
Mom thought she was playing the fool
Angrily, what happened asked she
Lily replied "A monster detained me"
Mom said "That is so absurd!"
There are no monsters in this world

The second day her schoolwork was in a mess
Mom thought that she was being careless
She asked "What .............

My Unborn Baby

©Courtney

To my unborn baby.
I lay at night knowing it'll be alright.
I watch you on the black an white screen,
Thinking will you're eyes be brown or green.
I hear you're heartbeat and seen you're feet.
I love you so much, And have never felt you're touch.
Soon I'll see you're face but not for a couple days.
I will love you .............

Tiny Baby

Tiny movements like tiny kicks
Tiny baby, a mother's bliss
Can't wait to give the tiny you
Huge hugs and lots of kisses too

What tiny dreams you might have now?
I would understand someday, somehow
I dreamed last night, your tiny face
An angel indeed, made from God's sweet embrace

How else would mommy .............

I Know You Can't See Me
I'm Tucked Away
Close To Christmas Is
My Arrival Day
Each One of You Play
A Special Role

Sent From Angels Above
I Can't Wait To See You

Can't Wait To Be Your Mommy!

Subcategory: Birth Poems

I was sitting in my room on a rainy night, Sept 6 2008 to be exact, 3 days away from my due date to have my little girl. I figured that as the time got closer I got a little more nervous, but also a little more excited every time I thought of the moment I got to meet my baby. I started writing these words down, and came up with this beautiful poem, and it is now a part of her baby book. She was born right on her due date 3 days later, and she is my whole world, and the anticipation in waiting to be her mommy, was worth the wait!!

Can't Wait To Be Your Mommy!

©Cindy Hawkins

So I am sitting here thinking of the perfect words to say,
to tell you how I feel about the arrival of your birthday.

I am feeling a little nervous, with hopes I do everything right,
but I cant wait to be your mommy, every waking day and every sleepy night.

I have so many plans and things for us to do,
So I sit here .............

It's a brief description of what small families go through when dealing with the splitting of parental figures. Tell me what you truly think, whether it's bad or good critique, I want to know what I need to improve in my poetry.

From Family To Strangers

©Christine

Raw sadness fills the house
as the burning of fragrances is the only form of light.
Beating.
The lonely hearts barely live as people are torn away from them.
The word family is gone, and replaced with strangers.

Hurt.
Mother cries herself to happiness.
Destroyed.
Father swallows pills to hide the pain from .............

Alcoholism: Love At First Sight

Category: Family Poems
Subcategory: Addiction Poems

I cannot change the past or try to make everyone forget the memories. I made the mistake my mother feared I would, I became my father. I knew the damage addiction caused, but I was drawn to its momentary relief. At 13 years old, I was a full blown, three days a week, binge drinker. I write this poem to let go of some of the shame and guilt I hold inside. I am sober and so is my father, at least for today. Don't lose hope when it all seems hopeless.

Alcoholism: Love At First Sight

©Kaeli

I'm sorry Mom.
I did not listen.
I did not heed your warning.
I saw this coming.
I saw the pain.
I was in too deep before I ever began.
The pain we all felt,
The perfection we all portrayed,
Too weak too challenge the addiction of our loved one.
I could not keep pretending.
Nothing could stop the feelings .............

My little baby "Patches" A White Longhair Big Fluffy Furball Cat. On June 20th 2009 the Lord took him home to be with him until He calls upon me to come home.Patches had been with me for 15 years and was my little boy. God had sent him to me on a cold winter morning in 1994 to be part of my life, to love me and be loved by me.

Rainbow Bridge

I look to the day when the Lord calls upon thee,
My time had come for my one final journey.
To begin searching, looking for my little boy,
With love and compassion and such a great joy.

My heart is racing with thoughts of what is to come,
No more pain, no more sorrow and nothing to run from.
With anticipation no words .............

My Parents

©Shayne Smith

I'm lucky that I have the parents that I do,
you would be lucky if you had them too.
They don't have a lot of money because they spend too much on me,
they can now barely afford the Toronto parking fee.
I have nice swagg, a full hockey bag, a full backpack,
but now style and money is something my parents lack.

I was with this guy.. and I gave him everything I had.. I even blew off all my friends for him... the one day he changed his mind about me and well... he's done nothing but make my life miserable

Dont Forget Me..

Wait baby, just wait for a second,
I can't let you go just yet.
I cant give up what we had
oh I just can't forget.

just hold on, hold on to every emotion
as I watch you let go
as we form a hole,
the one I will never show.

I watched it flash right through my eyes,
I watched it disappear
I watched .............
