A funny and honest family poem print in A4 size with funky typographic design.
Our witty and heartfelt family print makes the perfect gift for parents, siblings and friends - whether it's for a birthday, christening, Christmas, Mother's Day, or becoming a new parent. Touchingly, it is also a popular gift for newly adopting families, which makes us very proud!
Written by our award-winning poet Joanna Miller, this 21 line poem captures the fun times, the not so fun times(!) and the unrivalled bond we share with our families.
Whether it's relying, crying or a little white lying, everyone will recognise the experiences described in 'What is a Family?'

The text reads:
What is a Family?
It’s sharing, comparing, bonding & caring
It’s hugging & squeezing, talking & teasing
It’s praising & knowing, belonging & growing
It’s guiding, providing, trusting, confiding
It’s loving & kissing, nurturing, missing
It’s working & playing, treating & paying
It’s arguing, fighting & often delighting
It’s visiting, hosting & Sunday roasting
It’s relaxing & boring, most reassuring
It’s coaxing & charming, appeasing & calming
It’s waiting, debating, fulfilling, elating
It’s needing & feeding & tactful conceding
It’s driving, conniving, learning & thriving
It’s holding & nursing, worrying, cursing
It’s stressing, confessing & making a messing
It’s loaning & moaning, helping & phoning
It’s bickering, laughing, bedding & bathing
It’s listening, coping, planning & hoping
It’s relying, crying, a little white lying
It’s forgiving & mending, liking, depending
That’s what makes a family!

A diva, a bopper, a tireless shopper
A snorter, a sniggerer, infectious giggler

An ally, a sister, a gentle arm twister
A lip-gloss provider, a secret confider
A texter, a writer, a party inviter
A colleague, a carer, a problem-sharer
A cocktail blender & cheeky rule bender

A birthday surpriser & cherished adviser
A laugher, a kidder, anxiety ridder...
