Winter Lullabies
- By Sabina Laura

in Winter Poems

Winter speaks
in blusters
and lullabies fall
with the snow.

Winter speaks
in blusters
and lullabies fall
with the snow.
Some float
through the air
like flecks
of magic,
and some
settle like dreams
that didn't want
to be caught.

We all need
a safe space
to rest our tired feet
and set down
our weary hearts.
We all need
a friend who
welcomes us in
and reminds us that
we don’t have
to be perfect
to belong.

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.

Moving On Was Never Meant To Be Easy

in Moving On Poems

Moving on was
never meant to be easy.
It will hurt, it will be painful,
it will be exhausting,

Moving on was

It will hurt, it will be painful,

Take Me To The Center Of Your Soul

in Falling in Love Poems

take me

take me
to the center of your soul
show me where you hide
lead me to the forgotten wounds
show me the other side

show me your broken pieces
and where it hurts the most
show me all of the scariest parts
introduce me
to your ghost

take me to all of the pain
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
for I will leave there
never

Her Cup Never Ran Dry
- By Bethny Ricks
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2021 with permission of the Author.
Rest. Keep leaning. Keep praying. Keep inhaling, and then find the courage to exhale.

These are the words that skipped through my tired mind 30 minutes ago. And all I heard back in my soul is “I see you, and I will refill your cup. My well never runs dry.”

in Faith Poems

no matter how weary
she kept pouring

but her cup never ran dry, for God

no matter how weary
she kept pouring

but her cup never ran dry, for God
renewed her strength daily, and
gave her a peace
beyond all understanding

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.

I hate people who’ve hurt me

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,
start from the bottom.

Drowning
- By Amy O Connor
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2020 with permission of the Author.
This poem comes from Amy O Connor's poetry book, A Beautiful Complexity. The poem explores the overwhelming and sometimes suffocating nature of intense emotions, particularly in the context of love and heartbreak. The poet describes the waves of their feelings for someone and how these waves can suddenly pull them under and leave them gasping for air, unable to escape the depths of their emotions. The poem portrays a sense of powerlessness in the face of strong feelings and the struggle to stay afloat amidst the turmoil.

The Waves Of Love: A Poem Of Heartbreak And Turmoil

in Short Poems

They come in waves,
my feelings for you.
And not pretty whitecaps
dancing at my feet.

They come in waves,
my feelings for you.
And not pretty whitecaps
dancing at my feet.
But when I least expect it.
When life seems to be
a quiet stream of continuity.
They come to disrupt.
So forceful they pull me under,
so that I am drowning and once again,
can’t catch my breath.

Exhale Anxiety
- By Raquel Franco
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
Take a deep breath and exhale all that anxiety. I wrote the poem I needed to hear. My anxiety is still high. I’m going to write my way out. I hope this helps someone else dealing with it. Sending you peace and calm.

Embracing Calmness: A Poem For Anxiety Relief And Serenity

in Courage Poems

I send anxiety
a cease and desist letter.
I close her mouth.
Unbind her gnawing disquiet,

I send anxiety
a cease and desist letter.
I close her mouth.
Unbind her gnawing disquiet,
slow my train track heart.
I manifest settle,
a steady river in my veins.
I proclaim calm,
a relentless hymn on my tongue.
I end the riot in my chest
and exhale.

Give Me That Peace
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Meaningful Poems

I don’t need to be the sun;
the center of it all.
Always present.
Always burning.

I don’t need to be the sun;
the center of it all.
Always present.
Always burning.

I mean, have you seen
how beautifully the fireflies dance
on warm summer nights?

Give me that peace.
That light.
That choice.
The ability to surround myself in darkness,
or to subtly, yet brilliantly
glow.

The Strongest Part Of Me
- By Ashleigh Rayl
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
This poem is from Ashleigh Rayl's poetry collection, A Beautiful Difference.

in Inspirational Poems

Even in my darkest moments
I still have that little voice
encouraging me to go on.
To stand up and keep fighting.

Even in my darkest moments
I still have that little voice
encouraging me to go on.
To stand up and keep fighting.
To wipe my tears and pull it together.
To never give up.
That quitting is not an option.
That it will be ok no matter what.
Without that voice I would be lost.
I couldn’t make it in this world.
That is the strongest part of me.

Dear Diary
- By Bethny Ricks
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2020 with permission of the Author.
When the cares of this life overtake me, these are the words I choose to remember and say. As the tears roll down my face, leaving their imprint on overworked paper, and my fear wrestles with my breath, I remind myself of who fuels my strength and the beauty of my faith. For through it all, no matter what I have faced, or the length of the waiting, my God is still good and will do exactly what He says.

God Is Still Good

in God Poems

in my weeping, He is still good
in my fear, He is still good
in my weariness, He is still good
in my pain, frustration, hurt, and shame

in my weeping, He is still good
in my fear, He is still good
in my weariness, He is still good
in my pain, frustration, hurt, and shame
He is still good
and when hope seems distant, my God is still good

I Am Worthy

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.

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