41. The Healing Power Of Mother Nature
- By Shelby Ensign
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2020
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

maybe the answer is simple,
and all along
there's been relief--
if the strands of your soul
feel frayed and withered,
sit within the arms
of Mother Nature
and her quiet love
will mend them

44. Finding Hope
- By Sabina Laura
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2020
Finding Hope In Unexpected Places

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

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

45. And The World Carries On
- By Amy O Connor
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2020
The plates will still shift
and the clouds will still spew.
The sun will slowly rise
and the moon will follow too.

The plates will still shift
and the clouds will still spew.
The sun will slowly rise
and the moon will follow too.

Life’s beauty will continue
to flourish all around,
but now you are gone,
these birds have no sound.

And my heart does not beat.
It is still inside my chest.
My tears keep on falling
and my head will not rest.

But I have no choice only
to move through this life.
Endlessly attempting
to fill this longing that is rife.

46. Choose How You Spend Your Time
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2020
I spend an inordinate amount of time in front of an empty page, or a computer screen. In part, because I’m terrified of being forgotten, of living a life that isn’t worth remembering. So I’m constantly trying to leave something behind, be it poetry, fiction, art or music. While this makes me feel better about dying, there is a part of me that wonders how much I’m missing out on. That wonders about how I’m choosing to spend my time in the light. This poem is featured in my debut book Tell The Birds She’s Gone.

You cannot
slow the setting
of the sun.
You can only choose

You cannot
slow the setting
of the sun.
You can only choose
how to spend
your time
in the light.

47. A Day Away
- By Brian E Pardee
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2020
I've struggled with depression most of my life. I tend to see the worst in things and often need to be reminded of things most people do naturally. This short poem is one of those reminders. A great tragedy occurs when the bad days numb us to the good ones. Try to enjoy the good days, because they don't last that long. Try not to fear the bad days, because they won't last that long. Whether time is currently your friend or foe, however it can help you today, remember today won't last that long.

Feelings And Perspective

Some feelings are shallow, some feelings are deep.
Some make us smile, some make us weep.

Some we love, some we don't.

Some feelings are shallow, some feelings are deep.
Some make us smile, some make us weep.

Some we love, some we don't.
Some we'll savor, some we won't.

Some grounding, some uplifting,
Some long-lasting, some constantly shifting.

No matter what feelings I'm feeling today,
I know tomorrow is only a day away.

48. Road To Nowhere
- By Mary E Bone
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2019
Sometimes it's great to just take off and go exploring. I love the beautiful scenery that you can find off the beaten path.

Taking A Chance On Something New

I like to blaze new trails
on the road to nowhere.
On a journey through time,
there are new vistas to behold

49. My Love Is Gone
- By Ralph P Quinonez
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2019
The hardest thing is losing the love you have.

I No Longer Feel Whole

Lord, hear my prayer oh so dear.
My heart is aching; my mind isn't clear.
My love has left me; it hurts my soul.
Without that love, I don't feel whole.

51. Don't Neglect Your Love
- By Darren A. Mccallum
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2018
Sometimes we take love for granted, whether that be your partner or your family. This poem is to remind us to take care of the ones we love.

Cherish The Love You Have

Love is like a bicycle
Left out in the storm
If it's not protected
Rust begins to form

Love is like a bicycle
Left out in the storm
If it's not protected
Rust begins to form

So unless you want your bicycle
To slowly rust away,
Provide a little kindness
When the sky begins to grey.

52. Nothing Gold Can Stay
- By Robert Frost
Robert Frost is one of the most famous poets from the 1900s. He never earned a formal college degree, but he did receive honorary degrees from more than 40 colleges and universities. This famous poem shows that everything in life is cyclical and that the beauty in nature only lasts for a short period of time. Even though life ends, there is new life waiting to come forth.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

53. A Fallen Leaf
- By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
When we are new to love, sometimes we fall too quickly and allow ourselves to be put in situations we end up regretting. Everything changes after that. Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) was an American author and poet who became known as a poet even before graduating high school.

A trusting little leaf of green,
A bold audacious frost;
A rendezvous, a kiss or two,
And youth for ever lost.

A trusting little leaf of green,
A bold audacious frost;
A rendezvous, a kiss or two,
And youth for ever lost.
Ah, me!
The bitter, bitter cost.

A flaunting patch of vivid red,
That quivers in the sun;
A windy gust, a grave of dust,
The little race is run.
Ah, me!
Were that the only one.

54. Underface
- By Shel Silverstein
Children, teenagers, and adults as well, can all identify with the message of this poem for children from Shel Silverstein published in his book, "Every Thing On It." Sometimes we all feel like no one really truly knows us, as if we are wearing a mask and our true self is hidden from all underneath our face.

Underneath my outside face
There's a face that none can see.
A little less smiley,
A little less sure,

Underneath my outside face
There's a face that none can see.
A little less smiley,
A little less sure,
But a whole lot more like me

55. The Opposite Is Also True
- By Coral
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2018
My mother died 3 years ago from suicide (it's longer than I thought). I was just 11 years old. Since then, I have been writing poems. Some are just random scribbles. Others have a lot of thought. This poem is one I have written recently. My poems have been veering more toward "getting over it" recently. But I still miss her every single day, and I will never stop using my birthday wishes or shooting stars on wishing for her back.

Happiness And Sadness

They say it's sweet that we laugh
because our bodies literally
can't contain the
joy.

They say it's sweet that we laugh
because our bodies literally
can't contain the
joy.

But the opposite is also true. We cry
because our bodies physically
can't contain the
pain.

58. The Song Of Wind
- By Natalia Huja
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2017
I wrote this poem because spring has gone and summer has arrived.

Spring Turning Into Summer

Wind is like peace.
A swaying song it sings.
Drifting away in the summer wind.
Dancing grass in the field,

Wind is like peace.
A swaying song it sings.
Drifting away in the summer wind.
Dancing grass in the field,
Flowers sing a windy song.
Good night, wind.
Spring has gone, summer is here.

59. A Simple Plan
- By Irwin Mercer
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2017
In today's life, everything is so complicated and complex that we forget what's really important. Life doesn't really need to be as complicated as we make it. Life is basically simple, live each day to the fullest and make a stand for your beliefs.

A Simple Way To Live Your Life

Simple Sam was a simple man.
He lived each day by a simple plan.
Enjoy your life and live while you can.
Make each day count and take a stand.

Simple Sam was a simple man.
He lived each day by a simple plan.
Enjoy your life and live while you can.

Live each day as if your last.
Life's too short and gone too fast.

60. A Winter Eve
- By Irwin Mercer
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2017
I've never found a time so peaceful as the evening of a fresh fallen snow.

Poem About A Peaceful Evening Snow

The crunching snow beneath my feet
Breaks the silence of the winter eve.
I hear the patter of beginning sleep
On my evening stroll, as others sleep.

The crunching snow beneath my feet
Breaks the silence of the winter eve.
I hear the patter of beginning sleep
On my evening stroll, as others sleep.

In the moonlight, the fresh snow glistens.
A snowy owl stops and listens.
A scampering mouse becomes his meal
As I head for home, off in the distance.
