May Poet and Poem of the Month
May 2025
Winning Poem:
I have a biological family.
My extended family
My church family
My coworker and management family
My gym family
My school family
My family I call family that aren’t my biological family, but I consider them family
My theatre family
My foreign family
My LGBTQ+ family
My poetry family
And all my family that is within my life.
I am glad to know that these variations of family will truly have my back and love me to the
fullest without judgment.
No matter what race or gender, you have treated me equally.
They will always make sure that I am joyful and peaceful.
I know this is a fact.
My happiness is with beautiful souls that I appreciate every day.
Enjoying each moment that will never go away.
Thank you for accepting myself with all my flaws that make me who I am today.
You make me feel wanted with great love.
Welcoming myself with open arms without being fancy.
Just know you are all my true loving family.
