Haiku For My Family

My rose garden girl

Smells of beauty, shines with light

Unseen by your eyes.

*

I love you, sister

No matter how old we grow

I will stand by you.

*

My angel lady

Take me ‘neath your wing again

I love you, mother.

*

My little cutie

Wants to be ‘grown up’ like me

I wish I was six.

*

Please don’t leave again

We’ve worked so hard to get here

Stay with me, father

*

I feel bad for you

You’ll never understand me

You’ll never know me

*

Leave me alone, Doug

Don’t try to control my life

You’re not my father

*

Lisa, Cara, John

My favorite favorites

The world’s best cousins

*

Why can’t she just die?

I want to know my sisters

I wish she’d let me

*
