The Perfect Family Poem by Zoila T. Flores

The Perfect Family

Rating: 5.0


On portraying, a perfect family,
Every parent’s, precious goal,
Gaining neighbor’s, total extol,
Displaying in time, great control,

To maintain, a flawless wife,
Every husband’s, spotless role,
Attaining leadership, admiration,
Great achievement! After all!

Satisfaction, the reward it seems,
Undertaking; such an ambiguous dream,
Spending time, on creating such a strife,
Complicated piece of project, in life.

A perfect family, may be complicated and non-achievable/ Yet, best to aim it. When one throws a stone aiming at moon, it may hit the tallest tree in the vicinity, but not the bush at one's feet. Great thinking. X

Complicated and ambiguous it may appear, no doubt. But internal leadership and affectionate control by parents (especially the father) could transform a family into a perfect family. Thanks for this masterpiece.

It is quite idealistic to aspire to be a perfect family, but possible, as your well written poem shows. I like the quatrains and rhymes.
