It Feels Like A Lifetime Ago
- By Raquel Franco
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020 with permission of the Author.
in Heartbreak Poems

Feels like a lifetime ago
that I loved like that.
Wanting more
and more and more.

Feels like a lifetime ago
that I loved like that.
Wanting more
and more and more.
There are no photographs.
No forgotten sweatshirts.
No saved brunch receipts
or concert tickets.
No proof that I was madly
in love with you.
We carved our names
into nothing.
My skin aches knowing
all I have left
is a fading film reel
of your smile.

Have faith in your heart. I promise it will mend.

in Hope Poems

Of this I am certain:

Of this I am certain:
your heart is a tender
wound that will always heal,
wears grace like a grown,
finds warmth even when
it has frozen over
like a lake, grows roots
after crawling into cold
coffins. There is no break
your heart can’t come back
from.

He asked me if
I missed him

I could not give

any more of me.
Not my feelings,
my memories,
or my regrets.

I can be the silence
when the world around you
gets to be too loud.

I can be the silence

and be at ease.

Bright Light
- By S.C. Lourie

in Hope Poems

I see you, darling.
Holding on to your hope with both hands.
Feeling exhausted with all the turbulence.
But not letting go.

I see you, darling.
Holding on to your hope with both hands.
Feeling exhausted with all the turbulence.
But not letting go.
Shedding and bending
and growing and trying. So much trying.
And you are right,
your old life is a bad fit for you now.
There is more for you out there.
There is more for you inside too.
Keep holding on to your hope.
The world needs more of that right now.

Slow Down

in Inspirational Poems

slow down when your world

make sure to enjoy life

slow down when your world
is spinning too fast
when day and night are stuck in dusk
make sure to enjoy life
soak in the sunshine
admire the moonlight
witness how the clouds gather
and disperse
how the wind chases the leaves
across the street
treasure the little moments
that world will still spin
but you won’t fall off for taking
a well-deserved break

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

You are

searching for,
chasing after,

You are
what I’ve been
searching for,
chasing after,
longing to find,
every star,
moonbeam

all of every thing

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.

Dear Diary
- By Bethny Ricks
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2020 with permission of the Author.
When the cares of this life overtake me, these are the words I choose to remember and say. As the tears roll down my face, leaving their imprint on overworked paper, and my fear wrestles with my breath, I remind myself of who fuels my strength and the beauty of my faith. For through it all, no matter what I have faced, or the length of the waiting, my God is still good and will do exactly what He says.

God Is Still Good

in God Poems

in my weeping, He is still good
in my fear, He is still good
in my weariness, He is still good
in my pain, frustration, hurt, and shame

in my weeping, He is still good
in my fear, He is still good
in my weariness, He is still good
in my pain, frustration, hurt, and shame
He is still good
and when hope seems distant, my God is still good

I Am Worthy
- By Alison Malee
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2020 with permission of the Author.
I wanted to share my current mantra with you all, with the hope that it might help you feel worthy + mindful today. The world is heavy, but we do not have to carry it all at one time, and despite all of the hard decisions and weight of the day to day, you are doing your best, and that IS enough.

I am worthy. There is nothing
that can or will happen today that
could convince me otherwise.

Seeing Ourselves Clearly
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2020 with permission of the Author.
in Short Poems

It’s difficult to take in the entirety of something
when you are standing inside of it.
Valleys are best seen from peaks.
Mountains from their bases.

It’s difficult to take in the entirety of something
when you are standing inside of it.
Valleys are best seen from peaks.
Mountains from their bases.
The ocean from the shore.

to see ourselves clearly.
Perhaps this is why we struggle to wholly view
who we are.
