I Won't Settle For Anything Less Than You
- By Lorelei
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Falling in Love Poems

I want it all
The insanity
The good,
The bad,

I want it all
The insanity
The good,
The bad,
Your broken pieces too.
The sadness,
The laughter,
even the darkness in your light.
I want you wildly, madly in love
with all that I am, all that I have been
and everything I will become.
Give me your moon
and I’ll hang the stars
across the sky for you

because darling,
I won’t settle for anything less
than you.

Love Over Time
- By Gemma Troy
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2020 with permission of the Author.
in Short Love Poems

In cracked skin
and calloused hands
morning light
and greying hair

In cracked skin
and calloused hands
morning light
and greying hair
in memories
of the first touch
and the taste of lips
I love you here
I loved you there
I love you now
I loved you then
time will never be a friend
but our love will never end

I Am A Survivor
- By Caroline White
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Inspirational Poems

I am not everything
that has happened to me.
I am everything I became
while I healed.

I am not everything
that has happened to me.
I am everything I became
while I healed.
Stronger but softer.
Focused but not obsessed.
A teacher but still a student.
I am not broken.
I am beautiful.
I am a survivor.

Life Isn't Black And White
- By Lauren Bowman

You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.

You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.
You can stand tall and still be grieving.
You can be grieving and still find joy.
You can find joy and still miss what you had.
You can miss what you had and still long
for more.

You Are Enough
- By Bethny Ricks
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2021 with permission of the Author.
Along the way I have learned a tough lesson: even in my imperfection I am still worthy of love, someone’s time, and a consistent feeling of wholeness.
My value is not connected to perfection, strength, or my ability to weather a storm. Which means that even on those days when I struggle to show up or feel ill-equipped, I am still a woman of worth and value

in Inspirational Poems

You are enough
You have always been enough, and
You will forever be
Enough

You are enough
You have always been enough, and
You will forever be
Enough

no matter what you see
how you feel, or the lies you may
believe

It Takes A Certain Courage
- By S.C. Lourie
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Courage Poems

It takes a certain courage:

Just to be,
to fight for your happiness

It takes a certain courage:

Just to be,
to fight for your happiness
and sense of calm in this world,
to get out of bed and meet the day,
to choose to be openminded
rather than clinging to your beliefs,
to set boundaries,
to say yes,
to say no,
to try again.

You are made of that kind of courage.
Chin up buttercup and go make some
beautiful moments with your bravery.

I Need Your Support
- By Raquel Franco
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
I’ve had many (maybe too many) times where I chose the poison. Maybe it was a guy, a drink, my depression, food... and the people around me, most of them just told me what I should or shouldn’t be doing when all I needed was support. If you know someone struggling, hold them, love them, tell them they are strong. Support them, believe in them and trust that it will pass. Hold them along the journey.

in Addiction Poems

This is my drowning,
my teeth sinking
into sour apples
and I’m not hiding

This is my drowning,
my teeth sinking
into sour apples
and I’m not hiding

but I don’t need you
to tell me to stop picking
poison fruit. I need you
to tell me you know I’m strong,

to offer your arms as tender
until I discover on my own
that I no longer crave
the bite.

This Is Your Time
- By Tanya Markul
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
From Tanya Markul's first poetry collection, The She Book

in Inspirational Poems

This is your time
to no longer be who you were,
to rise from the embers,
to be guided by Her.

This is your time
to no longer be who you were,
to rise from the embers,
to be guided by Her.

This is your time
to be carried by Grace,
out of the matrix
and away from the race.

This is your time
to forever change the rest,
to untame, to shift, to lead,
and live blessed.

Your Love Goes With Me
- By Liz Newman
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2021 with permission of the Author.
in In Memory Poems

Your love
Goes with me
Today and every day.

Your love
Goes with me
Today and every day.

I feel it
When I’m listening
To the songs the trees make
Or the music we listened to
On sunny summer days.

I feel it
When I look at
Old photos of you.
I have your same eyes
And so much
Of the same outlook as you.

I feel it
When your old ring
Clangs against my heart,
Hanging from a chain
That I wear every day
And never take apart.

I feel it
When a familiar scent
Mixes with my memories
Of you,
The cologne on your clothes
And the way the smell
Shocks my senses anew.

I feel it
When I eat your
Favorite food,
Perch dinners
Or Payday candy bars,
All the things you were into.

I feel it everywhere
I feel it in everything.

It trickles into my days
In a million little ways.
Your love will never be lost,
It comforts and persists
And it stays.

Your love gives me strength.
Your love makes me brave.

Your love
Goes with me
Today and every day.

The Balance
- By M.B.Victoria

in Relationship Poems

I give and take,
I give and take,
I give and take.

I give and take,
I give and take,
I give and take.

But I take when
I should be giving,
and I give when
I should be taking.

And that is why
I have loved and lost.

I don’t want attachment.

When You Cross My Mind
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Moving On Poems

When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.

When that song comes on,

When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.

When that song comes on,
my heart no longer beats to its rhythm.

When I walk down our street,
my hands no longer feel empty without yours in them.

But you’re always on my mind,
and I play that song on repeat,
and my feet always seem to take me straight
to that street.

Why do you
try so hard
to hold on
to people

Why do you
try so hard
to hold on

let you go

There are people

They will stay
they will walk
through hellfire
to make sure
you don’t get away

Letting Go
- By S.C. Lourie
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Change Poems

She was scared to let go.
She was worried that everything might fall apart.
But she felt this heaviness, every day, growing in her heart.
So she took a deep breath.

She was scared to let go.
She was worried that everything might fall apart.
But she felt this heaviness, every day, growing in her heart.
So she took a deep breath.
She opened her hands and let it all go.
And what’s when she saw beauty above her brow,
telling her it was now *her* time to grow.
Releasing her fears, she realised what it felt like to be free.
It felt amazing, she felt like the joyous girl
she once used to be.
The chains in her mind had lied to her, saying that they
were present to hold everything in place.
But now her wings held everything together.
It was time to fold her fears away.

I Will Want To Grow Old With You
- By Gemma Troy
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Sweet Love Poems

You can take me on a holiday
but I prefer to sit at home
you can buy me chocolate and roses
but I just want your hand to hold

You can take me on a holiday
but I prefer to sit at home
you can buy me chocolate and roses
but I just want your hand to hold
you can dine me all night long
but I would rather lie under the stars
while we listen to our favourite song
you can give me jewels and gold
but if you find me a feather
with you
I will want to grow old

The Healing Power Of Mother Nature
- By Shelby Ensign
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2020 with permission of the Author.
The weight of life is much too heavy for us all at times. I’ve found nature to be one of the best healers for anxiety.

maybe the answer is simple,
and all along
there's been relief--
if the strands of your soul

maybe the answer is simple,
and all along
there's been relief--
if the strands of your soul
feel frayed and withered,
sit within the arms
of Mother Nature
and her quiet love
will mend them
