Somewhere between
hello and goodbye

And now, I am left to wonder

Somewhere between
hello and goodbye
a whole life happened.
And now, I am left to wonder
just how long
I will be
grieving its death.

The Little Things Mean More Than Anything
- By Gemma Troy
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Meaningful Poems

It’s the little things
isn’t it
that mean more than anything
and the simple pleasures

It’s the little things
isn’t it
that mean more than anything
and the simple pleasures
that make a heart beat
it’s the smell of a flower
and a deserted beach
that fills lungs
and makes pain obsolete
it’s the sky and an ocean
and the touch of someone’s skin
that turns the world upside down
and makes it worth living

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
- By Beau Taplin
- 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.

Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,

Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,
you still have purpose.
Even when your lover leaves you empty and begging,
you are still loved.
Even when you’ve tried and tried and failed and failed,
you are still worthy.
Even when;
especially when.

You Are All That I Want
- By Caroline White

in Sweet Love Poems

Give me you
tired and tattered
restless and weary
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
Give me you
when you can’t see the light
just open your heart
I will hold it so tight

Give me you.

You
are all
that I want

The Marching Heart
- By Beau Taplin
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Short Poems

I believe the beating in our hearts
was put there to remind us
that even when we feel alone in the world,
a part of us marches on,

I believe the beating in our hearts
was put there to remind us
that even when we feel alone in the world,
a part of us marches on,
that even at our lowest
we carry something inside of us
that we can lean on and turn to,
that even when there is no one else,
we always have ourselves.

yourself in the mirror and say
“I am worthy. I need to be here.
And I am grateful I am.
There is beauty in my life and

for today. And go find some
spectacular views.

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 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,
start from the bottom.

in Poems about Life Struggles

sometimes I wonder
why life feels

but maybe

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.

I hope you find peace in your battles
I hope you find light within the darkness
I hope you find comfort in your storm
I hope you find your smile within the tears

I hope you find peace in your battles
I hope you find light within the darkness
I hope you find comfort in your storm
I hope you find your smile within the tears
I hope your heart beats lighter
when it starts to feel heavy
I hope you find the kind of love that stays
I hope you find someone who welcomes your broken pieces home.

Life Isn't Black And White

You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.

You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.
You can stand tall and still be grieving.
You can be grieving and still find joy.
You can find joy and still miss what you had.
You can miss what you had and still long
for more.

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.

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.
