41. Homage To My Hips

Poet Introduction
- By Lucille Clifton
these hips are big hips
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little

these hips are big hips
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little
petty places. these hips
are free hips.
they don't like to be held back.
these hips have never been enslaved,
they go where they want to go
they do what they want to do.
these hips are mighty hips.
these hips are magic hips.
i have known them
to put a spell on a man and
spin him like a top!

42. In Harder Times

Poet Introduction
- By Sadwick
- Published: November 8, 2022 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
We Will Grow Stronger

I know the screams sound like thunder
I promise we won't go under
I know the heart feels hollow
There will be blessings behind the shadow

I know the screams sound like thunder
I promise we won't go under
I know the heart feels hollow
There will be blessings behind the shadow

I know it's hard to breathe through sorrow
Today blurs into tomorrow
I know the voices seem louder
It seems like this will last forever

Hold on, please, hold on
In the end we grow stronger
We will do this together

43. Life And Love
- By Julie Coburn
- Published: May 2020 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem About The Legacy We Leave Behind

Life's like a book -- a chapter, a page.
Remembering our youth as fast as we age.
Life is a song; we choose what to sing.
Living is hard; what will it bring?

Life's like a book -- a chapter, a page.
Remembering our youth as fast as we age.
Life is a song; we choose what to sing.
Living is hard; what will it bring?
Memories we cherish through family and friends.
Roots never broken; love never ends.
Life is a gift, so live it today.
Through struggle and heartache, we still find a way.
Through happiness and laughter,
Heartache and tears,
Good times and bad times,
Facing our fears.
From mountains to stars, our atoms are one.
The body may perish, but the soul lives on.
Life is the love we give and receive.
It defines our legacy and the mark that we leave.

45. Just Want A Happy Life

Poet Introduction
- By Sadwick
- Published: May 2016 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Conquering Negativity In Life

I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?

I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?

Surrounded by poverty,
The cravings of obesity,
Those dreams of reality.
Why can't they just see
I want to be all I can be?

I try to live with simplicity,
But I get hit with hostility.
People keep telling me
You won't live happily.

Forget all this negativity.
I'm going against normality,
Living a life of morality
In a world full of brutality.

Spitting out blasphemy,
Using profanity.
Why not be in harmony?
Treat strangers like family.

Going to love unconditionally,
I know my personality.
Don't need this scrutiny.
I know who I will be,
Just watch and see.

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

Strong people can

Strong people can

48. The Strongest Part Of Me
- By Ashleigh Rayl
- Published: April 16, 2021 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
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.

49. Recipe For A Life Well-Lived
- By Bettina Van Vaerenbergh
- Published: May 2020 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
The Ingredients For A Happy Life

Start off with faith and trust in God.
Then add courage; you'll need a lot.
Take a few dreams and lots of inspiration;
Mix them with passion and dedication.

Start off with faith and trust in God.
Then add courage; you'll need a lot.
Take a few dreams and lots of inspiration;
Mix them with passion and dedication.

Flavor with a spoonful of optimism,
As well as with sufficient vision.
Throw in some rewarding work,
With satisfaction as a perk.

A pint of perseverance is necessary,
While the amount of patience may vary.
Don't forget an ounce of thankfulness,
And a full cup of love and tenderness.

Add a few quality friends to the mix,
And a pinch of adventure, just for kicks.
Also, you need three cups of good thoughts,
Zested with a million smiles or thereabouts.

Joy and laughter are indispensable,
And a tad of hope, to be sensible.
Throw in heaps of understanding,
Because folks can be demanding.

Season with lots and lots of time,
And some deep questions to ponder.
Then pour over a sense of awe,
And lastly add some childlike wonder.

Top off with family and readiness to forgive;
This is the recipe for a life well-lived!

50. Game Of Life
- By Sarah White

Poem Encouraging Other To Have A New Start

Roll the dice,
Play a new game.
Life for you
Will never be the same.

Roll the dice,
Play a new game.
Life for you
Will never be the same.

No looking back,
No aspect of time,
You now have
A new mountain to climb.

Your body seems to stop
Whilst the world keeps going.
With no time to think,
Time still keeps flowing.

Going back to the dice
And the game, you will roll
It's time to start a new life
Complete with heart and soul.

Poet Introduction
- By Haleema

Poem On Overcoming Your Doubts And Being Free

One day,
She will break her silence.
She will scream.
She will shout.

One day,
She will break her silence.
She will scream.
She will shout.
She will break down her walls.
She will drown the doubts in her mind,
Shatter the chains that bind her,
Burst through the ropes that pull her down.

One day,
She will sing her song,
Speak her words,
Paint her art.
She will lay in the shade of her trees.
She will sleep in the comfort of her night.
She will dream in the arms of her thoughts.

One day,
She will be free.

53. I Am Every Woman

Poet Introduction
- By Rakhi Nariani
- Published: May 2017 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
The Power Of A Woman

A woman is beauty innate,
A symbol of power and strength.
She puts her life at stake.
She's real, she's not fake!

A woman is beauty innate,
A symbol of power and strength.
She puts her life at stake.
She's real, she's not fake!

The summer of life she's ready to see in spring.
She says, "Spring will come again, my dear.
Let me care for the ones who're near."
She's The Woman - she has no fear!

Strong is she in her faith and beliefs.
"Persistence is the key to everything," says she.
Despite the sighs and groans and moans,
She's strong in her faith, firm in her belief!

She's a lioness; don't mess with her.
She'll not spare you if you're a prankster.
Don't ever try to saw her pride, her self-respect.
She knows how to thaw you, saw you - so beware!

She's today's woman. Today's woman, dear.
Love her, respect her, keep her near...

Poet Introduction
- By Ruchi Katendra
- Published: July 2017 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Forgetting The Past And Starting Over

I wanna start fresh...

and forget this place, the wicked world I live in,
but not forget how glorious and essential it was to me.

I wanna start fresh...

and forget this place, the wicked world I live in,
but not forget how glorious and essential it was to me.

Forget the memories that make me weak and sad,
but not forget the memories that are an anchor to my strength.

Forget the people who caused me pain,
but not forget those who were with me in heavy rain.

Forget my past, mistakes, and regrets,
but not forget the lessons I learned from them.

Forget the days when I cried silently, not aloud,
but not forget the same days that make me strong.

Forget the old me, find myself and explore,
and emerge and shine as never before.

This is why
I wanna start fresh.

We are sorry for all that has happened.

We are sorry for all that has happened.
It hurt us too,
And together we will mend
Your heart all the way through.

We will help you realize
That you are not alone.
All that you need is strength, the real prize
And let the true you be shown.

You have not yet noticed how strong you really are.
You could make it too.
With help from us, you could go far.
We can help you make the ultimate breakthrough.

We can help you escape the river of sorrow.
Your heart's been stained with dirt.
We want to help your bloodstream flow.
We understand your heart's been hurt.

We are on this planet for a limited span of time;
Validity of our life's visa can end anytime.

Begin your day with enthusiasm and end with satisfaction;
Work toward achieving your goals and do follow your passion.

Waste not your energy on negativity;
Find your opportunity to be better when faced with difficulty.

Celebrate your honest efforts like you will when you attain success.
Failures shall be there; learn and keep going, nevertheless.

Avail the most of this very present;
Never shall return the passing moment.

The future is surrounded by clouds of uncertainty;
Let hope and faith be your guide till eternity.

The Best Version Of Myself

To be compatible,
I'm no better than them.
To truly be thankful,
I must have gratitude in mind.
To be determined,
I have to actually try.
To be stress free,
I have to keep self-soothing.
To be energetic,
I got to keep moving.
To love unconditionally,
I need to love myself first.
To be the best me,
I must know my self-worth.

A Smile On Your Face

Keep smiling throughout the day
To keep your tensions at bay,
Like a stroke of magical ray,
To make others happy and gay.

Keep smiling throughout the day
To keep your tensions at bay,
Like a stroke of magical ray,
To make others happy and gay.

A smile on your face can weave magic,
Makes you forget all that is tragic,
Keeps others around us ecstatic,
Helps us forget our worries and be nostalgic.

A pleasant smile just works like a dart,
Warms your mind and touches the heart,
Gives your day a perky start.
A smile on your face makes you happy and smart.

A Note To Life's Struggles

Vagaries of this life can be
Tough and hard to fathom,
And yet have they conquered me?
Look how far I've come.

Vagaries of this life can be
Tough and hard to fathom,
And yet have they conquered me?
Look how far I've come.

As I climb up its hill,
Slopes and jagged edges and all,
There are times I slip but still
At no time did I fall.

As I tread along its way
Sometimes I run into bends,
Stumbling blocks on some days
But never into dead ends.

As I sprint down its lane,
Hurdles seem to abound,
Yet the tripping now and again
Still can't bring me down.

Whims of life that lie in wait
Though I may not have a clue,
Firm is my will, strong is my faith.
My God will see me through.
