Better Will Come
- By M.B.Victoria
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2020 with permission of the Author.
It is so important to always hold on to hope. You owe it to yourself, and by holding on to hope you are allowing things to unfold in such a way that you are more likely to come across brighter days.

in Short Poems

Have faith
that although it may seem
like the good has come and gone,
there will be better.

Have faith
that although it may seem
like the good has come and gone,
there will be better.

The better will
enter your life suddenly,
unexpectedly,
taking your breath away.

Good job. It's funny how change can be the thing we need the most but want the least.

She Makes Me Whole
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
I've never thought of her as perfect. But she was the closest I've ever been to knowing what it means to belong. The truth is, I still don't know what love means, but when I hear the word, I think of her.

in Short Love Poems

I don’t think
she is perfect.
She is flawed and broken
like the rest of us.

I don’t think
she is perfect.
She is flawed and broken
like the rest of us.
But the pieces she has
left of her heart
match the pieces
missing from mine.
She is not perfect
but she does
make me whole.

One day it will

how precious your
life is and that
you are worth
fighting for.

She Is Magic
- By Caroline White
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Courage Poems

She wildly dances
to the beat of her own heart
a strong and fearless protector,
she’s hauntingly beautiful

She wildly dances
to the beat of her own heart
a strong and fearless protector,
she’s hauntingly beautiful
and dangerously smart.
Eyes filled with oceans
and a glimmer of pain,
but a soul with a compass
that points home
when it rains.
She’s visited darkness
and fought her way back
this girl is a warrior,
her spirit won’t crack.
A sense of humor to balance
how deep her heart bleeds,
she’s a radiant light,
that this dark world needs.
She is poised and she’s polished
but still can be rough,
she is one of a kind,
she is more than enough.

in Hope Poems

It’s okay

no matter what
comes your way

It’s okay
it’s okay
no matter what

have no words to say
and your bluebird skies
turn shades of grey

You are here
you are breathing
there is something
to believe in

Please don’t lose faith
all will be okay

She Loved Him
- By Gemma Troy
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
in True Love Poems

She loved him without reason
and without cause
she loved him under water
and in the freezing cold of the deep winter months

She loved him without reason
and without cause
she loved him under water
and in the freezing cold of the deep winter months
she loved him in the dark
and beneath the starry sky
she loved his hands
and his innocent blue eyes
she loved his heart and how big it always seemed to be
she loved him even when things were a little stormy
she loved him before they knew each other’s name
and she will love him until
she takes her last breath
and her heart goes up in flames

Finding hope amidst adversity

Poem Of Hope: Finding Light In The Dark Moments

in Hope Poems

Hope can be found in the moment
when the sun breaks open the day
it can be felt when the stars shine
in the darkest part of the night

Hope can be found in the moment
when the sun breaks open the day
it can be felt when the stars shine
in the darkest part of the night
and when a flower has grown without rain
hope is the thread
that ties the words together
when I write poetry
hope is the reason
you’ve survived
it lives between each heart beat
and it’s in the air you breathe

You
- By Leo Christopher
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020 with permission of the Author.
This short and sweet poem is about the search for true love and how it feels to finally find it. The poet describes their significant other as the one they've been searching for, the one they've been chasing after, and the one who has been the answer to all their hopes and dreams. The poem is a celebration of the deep connection between two people who have found each other and how they are now intimately connected.

Chasing After You - A Short Love Poem Of Longing And Desire

in Short Love Poems

You are
what I’ve been
searching for,
chasing after,

You are
what I’ve been
searching for,
chasing after,
longing to find,
every star,
moonbeam
and dream,
all of every thing
so infinitely far away
and yet so intimately
here in my arms.

Aching Hearts
- By Liz Newman
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020 with permission of the Author.
You never know the state of someone’s heart. Aching hearts may not look broken, but you have no idea what’s gone into that healing. Be kind, always.

in Short Sad Poems

We talk a lot about broken hearts.
But oh,
what about the aching ones?
The hearts that are healing

We talk a lot about broken hearts.
But oh,
what about the aching ones?
The hearts that are healing
but can’t escape the visits of the
cold, sharp
pain gripping their core.
The hearts that appear
whole again
but still experience
the waves of hurt
crash against their soul’s door.

Life Will Bloom When It Is Ready

I keep pulling

impatient for the bloom

I keep pulling
on my roots
urging them to grow
impatient for the bloom
and the sunshine
and the growth
but it doesn’t work like that
tears flow, soil drenches and dries
there have to be some slower days
some rainfall, even snow
—life will bloom when it is ready

Choose How You Spend Your Time
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2020 with permission of the Author.
I spend an inordinate amount of time in front of an empty page, or a computer screen. In part, because I’m terrified of being forgotten, of living a life that isn’t worth remembering. So I’m constantly trying to leave something behind, be it poetry, fiction, art or music. While this makes me feel better about dying, there is a part of me that wonders how much I’m missing out on. That wonders about how I’m choosing to spend my time in the light. This poem is featured in my debut book Tell The Birds She’s Gone.

in Short Poems

You cannot
slow the setting
of the sun.
You can only choose

You cannot

You can only choose

This Is My Strength

in Moving On Poems

When you left,
I immediately deleted your number and pictures
and pulled our memories from the wall.
This is my strength.

When you left,
I immediately deleted your number and pictures
and pulled our memories from the wall.
This is my strength.
This is how I know I’ll survive.
I cried as I erased you,
but I erased you anyway.
I wished you back,
but I still opened my hands
and let you go.

When You're Next To Me
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2020 with permission of the Author.
Whenever you were next to me, there was no rest of the world. There were no stars painting light to the darkness, no wind at our backs, no birdsong in the trees. To me, there was only ever you.
Even now, things slow down and pause when I think of you. There are still those little sections of lost time, where everything is drowned out by those unanswerable questions about what might have been.

in Short Love Poems

The world seems
somehow slower
when you are
next to me.

The world seems
somehow slower
when you are
next to me.
As though my senses
cannot focus
on anything
but you.

Winter Lullabies

in Winter Poems

Winter speaks

Winter speaks

Some float

and some
settle like dreams
that didn't want
