Slow Down
- By Vic Lejon
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020 with permission of the Author.
in Inspirational Poems

slow down when your world
is spinning too fast
when day and night are stuck in dusk
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

Backwards Poem

in Meaningful Poems

I hate people who’ve hurt me
so you’ll never hear me say
I must love them harder.
I know that

I hate people who’ve hurt me
so you’ll never hear me say
I must love them harder.
I know that
people are cruel
and that
isolating myself will make me happy
I refuse to believe that
people do love me.
I’m ashamed of loving so deeply.
No longer can I say
I deserve abundant love.

now read that again,

A sad truth that takes many of us far too long to realize. Just because we want something or even think we deserve it, doesn't mean we will get it or even need it.

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.

in Inspirational Poems

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

that can or will happen today that

I Want To Tell You
- By Lorelei
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020 with permission of the Author.
in I Miss You Poems

There’s so much I want to say to you,
words I buried in my mind
but when it’s time to sing the verses
the melodies come out wrong.

There’s so much I want to say to you,
words I buried in my mind
but when it’s time to sing the verses
the melodies come out wrong.

I want to tell you
that I still miss you
even though I know I shouldn’t.
I want to tell you
that I wish to hold you
even though I can’t.
I want to tell you
you are the one
even when you couldn’t be.

But most of all
I want to tell you
that I love you
and I never stopped

But maybe one day
you’d keep telling me, instead.

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.

The Hand Of Fate

- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
From Beau's book Here At Dawn: Poetry and Prose.

in Short Poems

There is no reason to feel troubled
if your path has not been made clear to you yet.
When you remain true to your spirit,
courageous in action,

There is no reason to feel troubled
if your path has not been made clear to you yet.
When you remain true to your spirit,
courageous in action,
and listen ever to the
small guiding voice in your heart,
you find the universe soon points out its place for you,
and then leads you there
gently by the hand.

Hold Tightly To Your Smile
- By Ashleigh Rayl
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
This is an untitled poem from "The Soul" section of Ashleigh's new published poetry book, A Beautiful Difference.

in Hope Poems

You get through the bad days
because you have no other choice.
There is nothing else you can do
but hold tightly to your smile

You get through the bad days
because you have no other choice.
There is nothing else you can do
but hold tightly to your smile
and try to stay positive.
Focus on finding happiness in the little things,
and making small achievable goals
for yourself to feel purposeful.
To constantly remind yourself
that it could be worse
to make yourself feel better.
Giving up is not an option.
Crying all day is not an option.
Losing yourself is not an option.
You have to remember that
it is going to be ok.
It always is eventually.
You got this.

Give me you

a heart that’s been shattered

Give me you
tired and tattered
restless and weary
a heart that’s been shattered
Give me you
when you are less than tough
when you are not smiling
all your edges so rough

just open your heart
I will hold it so tight

Give me you.

You

Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,

Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,

Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,

Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,

you are still worthy.
Even when;
especially when.

Learning To Let Go
- By Liz Newman
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Change Poems

Letting go doesn’t
always look how you think it will.
Sometimes it happens all at once.
Sometimes it’s in phases.

Letting go doesn’t
always look how you think it will.
Sometimes it happens all at once.
Sometimes it’s in phases.
Oftentimes it requires a few tries
and heartfelt goodbyes.
Even when it’s good for you,
letting go is hard on a heart.
But like the changing seasons,
we will learn to change too.
In time, in time,
In time…

I hope you find peace in your battles

I hope you find someone who welcomes your broken pieces home.

Trying To Balance Grief
- By Liz Newman
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2021 with permission of the Author.
One of the biggest things I’m learning about grief is how it demands different things from you every day. Some days, you’re able to get a lot done. You’re able to smile and be fully present with people. Everything feels fully balanced and manageable...steady. But other days, even normal daily tasks feel impossible to balance. And despite your best efforts, you can’t do it all. You try and build your schedule to match the day before, but it wobbles and leans and comes crashing down at your feet.

Grief will demand different things of you every day. Some days will be harder than others, but please don’t be harder on yourself because of it. The harder days need the most kindness, the most support, the most gentleness. The harder days need the most grace. If today is a harder day, I’m praying with you. I’m hurting with you. I’m holding on to hope with you.

in Grief Poems

Grief stacks
Itself up
Up
Up

Grief stacks
Itself up
Up
Up
As you try and balance
Your daily tasks
Your emotions
Your pain
The tower
Wobbles
As you try
To do everything
You normally do
Everything you
Normally can
But right now
You can’t
And it comes
All
The way
Down

This poem reads the mind of a person affected by grief. "But right now/You can't" has the logic. It depicts the hope that there will be a time with "can."

sometimes I wonder
why life feels
so uphill most of the time.
but maybe
the mountains are rooting for us.
maybe they want us to see sights
we would never get to see without them.
because in that moment,
when life takes your breath away
for all her beauty, you are reborn.
and I don’t think there is anything
more perfect
in this world than a new beginning.

Let Them Miss You
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Moving On Poems

Let them miss you.
Let them wonder what wild joy you’re chasing,
why you didn’t think to invite them along.
Let them hear your laughter from afar,

Let them miss you.
Let them wonder what wild joy you’re chasing,
why you didn’t think to invite them along.
Let them hear your laughter from afar,
watch as it pulls the sun from the sky,
marvel at how easily you become that light.
Let them yearn to be your moon,
long for a chance to reflect the warmth you provide,
admire how you can be so vibrant and alive
without them beside you.

Let them miss you.
Let yourself learn how okay you are
on your own.
