Message To My Family

Share these poems that have a message to your family expressing love and thanks for all they have done. So often, in life, we take our family for granted and don't express how much we appreciate them.

If you were to send a message to your family, what would you say? When you stop and think about the people, about the sacrifices that your parents and others have made for you it makes you appreciate them even more. Many times we don't appreciate our families until we have a family ourselves. We then realize how blessed we were growing up!

Let the verses in these poems give you thoughts to reflect on and remind you to say thank you for all they have done. For more poetry visit our collection of poems about family.

I am proud to say I wouldn't trade my family any day.

Count My Blessings

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

In my family's story, I can see,
How much their love has meant to me.
Through good times and challenges too,
They have always helped me through.

Laughter and fun, memories we share,
Showing each day how much they care.
From family gatherings to talks so true,
Those moments stay with me and you.

In good times and bad, hand in hand,
Together we have learned to stand.
No matter what may come our way,
We're there for each other every day.

With love and support along life's way,
I count my blessings every day.
I truly know and proudly say,
I wouldn't trade my family any day.

Love Each And Every One Of You

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

To the members of my family,  
I hope that you can all see  
The impact of all of your love and care
  Has molded who I've come to be.  

All your support and encouragement  
Have filled me with strength and endearment
  Thank you all for being my rock and guide  
Through all the challenges I've tried.  

I owe it to all of you  
The lessons and guidance have been so true
  I am grateful for everything you all do  
I love each and every one of you!

Thank You

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

To my family, I want to say,
Thanks for being there every day.
Your love and support have helped me grow,
I can count on all of you, that I know.

I'm grateful for all that you've done,
Excited for what's yet to come.
So thank you, from the bottom of my heart,
For being there from the very start.

God's Plan

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

God has blessed our family through the years,
Helping us through joys and through our fears.
In good times and bad, He has shown the way,
Guiding and watching over us each day.

When challenges came and times were tough,
His strength and comfort were enough.
Through faith and prayer we learned to see,
God's love is with our family.

Through every trial, we've seen His grace,
And felt His presence in every place.
With forgiveness, kindness, and love so true,
He helps us in all that we do.

Each family member is a gift from above,
Blessed by God with His endless love.
We are thankful for the time we share,
And for the way He shows His care.

With grateful hearts, we thank God each day,
For family, faith, and the blessings along the way.
His love surrounds us, strong and true,
A gift for me, and a gift for you.

A Message

Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011

I have something to say,
To my mother, brother, sister, and dad.
You've always been someone I could count on,
And that has always made me so glad.

This is a message of thanks,
For all you have given me.
I hope one day I can repay you,
And give you what you've given me.

But for sure your message of love,
Will be passed on to the future family.
And they will always know,
Of your love and teachings to me.

So again I'd like to thank you,
For always believing in me.
I love you now and forever,
And this will always be.

Family, nature and health all go together. Olivia Newton-John

Been A Pain

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Over the years I have been a pain
But you all loved me just the same
My attitude, at times, was really poor
It's a wonder you didn't show me the door.

I didn't appreciate any of you
I surely didn't appreciate all you do
Patience galore you did show
Especially when I was slow!

But now with a family of my own
I think of my actions and just groan
I now understand your love for me
At times, could not have been easy.

Thank you for your patience and love
My family, I thank God above
You all mean so much to me
May you all be blessed and happy be.

Proud to Say

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Some families are loud
Some families are proud
Some families are poor
Some families even go on tours.

But I am proud to say
I wouldn't trade my family any day
The support and encouragement that you show
Is worth much more than you know.

I have been blessed with a great family
So loveable and so friendly
Although at times we had our ups and downs
You are all special and deserve a crown!

Years Of Support

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Years of support and love, how can I repay?
Blessed to have my family by my side each day
Encouraging me, lifting me high
Family, like you, is rare to find.

In times of joy and times of pain
You've been my rock, my steady chain
Grateful for your unwavering care
Forever in my heart, I love you, I swear!


Conclusion

We hope these poems remind you to let your family know how much you appreciate them. Family members are often our biggest supporters, standing beside us through challenges, celebrations, and everyday moments. Their love, encouragement, and guidance help shape who we become.

Too often we assume our family knows how we feel, but taking the time to say thank you, share a kind word, or express your love can mean more than you realize. Whether through a poem, a message, or a simple conversation, let those closest to you know how much they are valued. Family is a gift that should never be taken for granted.
