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

Embrace all of you.

a rainbow.

You're Not Alone In This
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Poems about Life Struggles

You’re not alone in this; you know that, right?
There are others like you.
Hiding. Running. Wishing
for a desire they keep hidden

You’re not alone in this; you know that, right?
There are others like you.
Hiding. Running. Wishing
for a desire they keep hidden
(but terrified of it coming true)
Swaying. Hoping. Begging
for change.
(but terrified of something new)
Hesitant but leaping.
Whole but looking for what they’ve lost.
Wanting the world to see them
but unsure of who they are.

When You Left

I thought it was your light
that kept me,

I thought it was your light

I found it was not you

It was me.

Second chances,

Strength comes
In so many forms.
In giving people
Second chances,
In giving up
Painful habits.
In giving ourselves
And others
Life-changing love.
In giving energy
To fight for
The things that matter.
Strength comes
in so many forms.

Take the time you need
to crawl in a space
of silence.

Take the time you need
to crawl in a space

You don’t owe anyone
any story, or

You owe it to
yourself to work on
your healing.

There Is An End To This
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
I’ve struggled with my mental health for a long time now, and like anything, there are good days and bad days. But even at my lowest points, I try and remember the things I have already survived. I try and remind myself that every cracking sinew is just a moment in time.

Ultimately, no matter how desperate I’ve felt, no matter how unsurvivable the breakdown may seem, the surface of the water is always reachable, eventually. Sometimes you just need to hold your breath a little longer.

in Hope Poems

There is
an end to this,
I promise you.
Even when

There is
an end to this,
I promise you.
Even when
it feels like
you’re breathing
Lungfuls
of water,
the surface
is closer
than you think.

There's Always Hope

in Hope Poems

baby, during the nights when the midnight sky
falls heavily onto your bones and wraps you
in its melancholic embrace

baby, during the nights when the midnight sky
falls heavily onto your bones and wraps you
in its melancholic embrace

keep a light alive inside of you
I know how dark the darkness can get
how tempting it can be

but please remember
you can be your own guiding light
you have the ability to shine despite it all
hope is always with you

in Change Poems

Dozens of times
throughout your life,
you’ll outgrow what
you thought you

Dozens of times
throughout your life,
you’ll outgrow what
you thought you
couldn’t live without,
and fall in love with
what you didn’t even
know you wanted.
Life will lead you on
hard yet necessary
paths you’d never
travel by choice.
Don’t be afraid.
Have faith.
Trust the journey.

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.

Hearts Are Resilient

Hearts are delicate
yet incredibly resilient.
They break and break open,
yet they beat

Hearts are delicate
yet incredibly resilient.
They break and break open,
yet they beat
and brave the pain.
They’re filled
to overflowing
only to be poured out
day after day.
And yet, they remain.
They fight. and they remain.
You fight. And you remain.

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

I can be the silence
when the world around you

I can be the rain
pattering on your rooftop
when you need that lullaby.

I can be anything
you want and need
to make this life settle in
and be at ease.

Stop Trying To Fit Into The World

in Short Poems

When you stop trying
to fit into a world
that you don’t belong to anymore,
you grow

When you stop trying
to fit into a world
that you don’t belong to anymore,
you grow
and automatically start a new one
but with relaxed shoulders,
more laughter,
and way more magic.

Motherhood
- By Aurora Raine
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Mother Child Poems

these tired hands
guide my children
to catch fireflies in magical meadows
to cross a busy city street

these tired hands
guide my children
to catch fireflies in magical meadows
to cross a busy city street
these heavy arms
hold soft, smiling infants
and carry their worlds
these blistered feet
dance wild and free, barefeet
to steady their shaky ground
these eyes
see truth
see hope
see life
in the eyes of my babies
and so-
I keep walking.
