There would have been
so much I would have
done differently
if only I had known

There would have been
so much I would have
done differently
if only I had known
how beautifully
it would all turn out.

But, you see, if I had
done even just one
thing differently,
it might not have
turned out the way it did.

First off, I like the poem. I too have pondered that same notion about going back in time and changing things for a better outcome. It's hard to say either way. Things could have been better...

Hearts Are Resilient
- By Liz Newman
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Courage Poems

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.

Finding Hope In Unexpected Places

in Short Poems

I am learning to find hope
in the smallest and most unexpected places
like the whispers through the forest

I am learning to find hope
in the smallest and most unexpected places
like the whispers through the forest

and the way your love is bringing back
all the parts of my soul I thought I had lost.

This poem speaks to me. I really like it. We spend so much of our time focusing on things that really don't make life better and we miss out on many of the things that do.

Your name is just a name now.
Memories no longer rush back,
pouring through my body,
flooding my mind, drowning my
senses, when I hear your name.

My heart no longer wants to
jump out of my chest to escape
the string. And it’s no longer
hard to breathe.

Your name is just a name now.

And I am free.

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.

He asked me if

I could not give

Not my feelings,
my memories,

You Have Shattered Every Memory Of Us
- By Jordan Byrnehouser
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Hurting Poems

You have drowned every emotion of us,
Held it under water until it could no longer breathe.
You have shattered every memory of us,
Like glass, touching it I risk hurting every time.

You have drowned every emotion of us,
Held it under water until it could no longer breathe.
You have shattered every memory of us,
Like glass, touching it I risk hurting every time.
You have burned any future of us,
Only left ashes of what could have been.
We could have been great together.
We could have made it.

The hard truth of having one too many last changes. Sometime there is no coming back from crossing the line. We may not be able to fix what we broke, but learning from it can help prevent us...

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

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

if the strands of your soul
feel frayed and withered,
sit within the arms
of Mother Nature
and her quiet love
will mend them

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.

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.
