Life Isn't Black And White
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Short Poems

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.

you don’t get away

It's About The Journey
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Meaningful Poems

How about sad but hopeful.
Lonely but looking inward.
Resting but planning your next step.

How about sad but hopeful.
Lonely but looking inward.
Resting but planning your next step.

How about fumbling but trying.
Anxious but learning patience.
Questioning but at peace with not having
an answer yet.

How about unsure but trusting.
Scared but overcoming.
Lost but knowing it’s about the journey
in the end.

I Am A Survivor

in Inspirational Poems

I am not everything
that has happened to me.
I am everything I became
while I healed.

I am not everything
that has happened to me.
I am everything I became
while I healed.
Stronger but softer.
Focused but not obsessed.
A teacher but still a student.
I am not broken.
I am beautiful.
I am a survivor.

I Will Want To Grow Old With You
- By Gemma Troy
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Sweet Love Poems

You can take me on a holiday
but I prefer to sit at home
you can buy me chocolate and roses
but I just want your hand to hold

You can take me on a holiday
but I prefer to sit at home
you can buy me chocolate and roses
but I just want your hand to hold
you can dine me all night long
but I would rather lie under the stars
while we listen to our favourite song
you can give me jewels and gold
but if you find me a feather
with you
I will want to grow old

It Takes A Certain Courage
- By S.C. Lourie
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Courage Poems

It takes a certain courage:

Just to be,
to fight for your happiness

It takes a certain courage:

Just to be,
to fight for your happiness
and sense of calm in this world,
to get out of bed and meet the day,
to choose to be openminded
rather than clinging to your beliefs,
to set boundaries,
to say yes,
to say no,
to try again.

You are made of that kind of courage.
Chin up buttercup and go make some
beautiful moments with your bravery.

I Won't Settle For Anything Less Than You

in Falling in Love Poems

I want it all
The insanity
The good,
The bad,

I want it all
The insanity
The good,
The bad,
Your broken pieces too.
The sadness,
The laughter,
even the darkness in your light.
I want you wildly, madly in love
with all that I am, all that I have been
and everything I will become.
Give me your moon
and I’ll hang the stars
across the sky for you

because darling,
I won’t settle for anything less
than you.

Hearts are delicate

They break and break open,

Hearts are delicate
yet incredibly resilient.
They break and break open,

They’re filled

And yet, they remain.
They fight. and they remain.
You fight. And you remain.

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.

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.

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

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.

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