Question

My mother made this poem but she beleives it has a few mistakes, we are not sure how to put it into the correct format. Would anyone fix it for us and correct any grammer/punction/etc? 10 points!

Pride in family is pride in ordinary people.
Who in our hearts become extraordinary,
Their faces are mirrors
Their eyes speak clearly
the way things used to be,
the way things ought to be,
and most of all the way things are.
They are our refuge
and spring board
our link to the past
our bridge to the future.
Between earth and sky above
nothing can match
our parents love.

Answer 5

Your Mother's Idea with a Snappier Beat
;D

Family are folks who can be ordinary
Lodged in your heart they're held extraordinary

Their faces are mirrors; Their eyes speak so clearly
And if you got lost, they'd look for you dearly

Living together is bonding historical
Some say the true human state categorical

Refuge of blood kin that clings to your breast
Springing to save you when called to the test

Some came before you, some now ahead
Bridge to your geneological thread

But in between all below and above
Parents made family...the one you must love..,,

Answer 6

Pride in family is pride in humanity
who in our hearts are more than ordinary
Their faces mirror ours and their eyes tell a story
of how things used to be and ought to be today
and in facing our challenges as we find our way
embracing their support and learning from their love
we charge into the future with a little help from above.

Answer 7

I really like the poem.
Hmm...

The way things ought to be
( new sentences )
drop the , and and
Most of all, the way things are

Between Earth, and the sky above
nothing can match our parents love

Nice, and
God loves us more. :-)

Answer 8

with poetry there really is not "format" unless you're writing a sonnet (for example) with a specific meter and rhyme scheme.

For punctuation, "parents" should be parents', with an apostrophe after the s.

Answer 9

*and our spring board

it's pretty much in good format
