I Don’t Want to Play House, Poem Example

Love the family… Love the life

Love the happiness, even the strife

Home is where the heart is

That is what they say today

But the situations, they change let’s say

With no more time and no more attention

Families today often fall into tension

Families begin to stray away

Fathers leave, mothers cry

Children are left wondering why

With everyone wishing for so much

The family remains in the middle of the crunch

Fathers remain stuck with their works

While mothers feel depressed in their homes

Children left in schools to do their own chores

Are families meant to stay this way?

Have the days of family-importance gone away?

When with these issues come into a stop

When will families finally be back in time?

The time when everyone can still smile?

The time when mothers and mothers can stay

And give time to their children each day…

I don’t want to play house, I don’t want to lose sight

Of the real meaning of family and how it is supposed to be tight

Not because of material gains, but because of life that’s right
