I came from a large family as well and enjoyed every moment of it.
I always feel sorry for those who have very little family. They really don't know what they are missing, do they?
It does my heart good to hear about your love for your family.
Thanks for the read.

This was submitted for the family writing prompt contest, and it's full of family. The rhyme scheme is fairly steady, though the formatting at times hides it a bit. You're using rhyming couplets, but sometimes you break up one half of the couplet, which throws off expectations. For example: "We had lots of precious memories living by the sea with Mom and Dad./ There were no cell phones or video games./ We had to make fun with what little we had." There is no reason to break up "There were no cell phones or video games. We had to make fun with what little we had." I think it flows better if you don't, because with the way it's split, it feels at first read like the rhyme scheme has shifted, but it hasn't. It's just the formatting.

Overall, a heartfelt recounting of your family tree. Thank you for sharing your fond and sad family memories.

Wow. Powerful poem about the representation of family. Sorry of the loss of your sister and brother, but the remaining branches will continue to provide lasting memories and strength as it grows with nieces, nephews and cousins.
Best of luck in the contest.
Cheers to a growing tree.

A lovely poem that says a lot about your family and how much they mean to you.

The change in words has made all the difference. It reads so well and is obviously heartfelt without any unwanted distractions.

I did enjoy your poem and best of luck in the competition.
