My heart is slowly filling

You Could Have Given Up
- By S.C. Lourie
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Poems about Life Struggles

You could have given up,
but you kept on going.
You could have seen obstacles,
but you called them adventures.

You could have given up,
but you kept on going.
You could have seen obstacles,
but you called them adventures.
You could have called them weeds,
but instead you called them wildflowers.
You could have died a caterpillar,
but you fought on to be a butterfly.
You could have denied yourself goodness,
but instead you chose to show
yourself self-love. You could have defined
yourself by the dark days, but instead
through them you realised your light.

I miss you in silence
And every moment in between
But I’m a little busy unfolding
Those pieces of who I used to be
I miss you at sunrise
Until it’s time to greet the moon
But darling,
Don’t you see,
I don’t miss you any less than yesterday
I’m just a little busy
Finding me.

And The World Carries On
- By Amy O Connor
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2020 with permission of the Author.
in Short Poems

The plates will still shift
and the clouds will still spew.
The sun will slowly rise
and the moon will follow too.

The plates will still shift
and the clouds will still spew.
The sun will slowly rise
and the moon will follow too.

Life’s beauty will continue
to flourish all around,
but now you are gone,
these birds have no sound.

And my heart does not beat.
It is still inside my chest.
My tears keep on falling
and my head will not rest.

But I have no choice only
to move through this life.
Endlessly attempting
to fill this longing that is rife.

The Comfort Of Pain
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
As a poet, I’ve grown used to embracing pain; to treating it as the fuel I need to create. These days I hold sadness to my chest like it’s another organ, something I’m terrified to be without. This doesn’t mean I’m always depressed or continually sad, but it does mean that I’ve learned to rely on pain I’ve already experienced. Sometimes, I wonder if I’ve begun to seek it out, to find new ways to shatter this thing behind my ribs.

Live this way long enough and, eventually, the heartbreak begins to feel comforting; like an old friend. If I’m honest, i can’t help thinking it’s the only thing I can rely on not to leave. It’s the closest thing I have to home.

in Poems about Sadness

Live with it
long enough
and pain begins
to feel familiar,

Live with it
long enough
and pain begins
to feel familiar,

even comforting.

I guess when
it’s the only constant
even heartbreak
can find a way

to feel like home.

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.
Perhaps this is why we rely on other’s eyes
to see ourselves clearly.
Perhaps this is why we struggle to wholly view
who we are.

God Is Still Right There
- By Bethny Ricks
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2021 with permission of the Author.
No matter our situation or circumstance. Whether we are walking atop hope, full of peace, wrestling with fear, or overwhelmed with life in general...God is always present. In our victory and turmoil His concern and love for us never waivers. And through all my weeping, these roads paved with tears and joy, God has never failed me. Or forgotten me.

in Faith Poems

our weeping may only endure
for the night, but
even when joy finally drapes
our sunrise

our weeping may only endure
for the night, but
even when joy finally drapes
our sunrise

God is still right there
tenderly walking us through
every whispered prayer

let me dive into your darkest seas
take me to your secrets
let me walk through memories

take me back to desire
and lose me there forever
swallow me inside your heart
