61. Allow Me To Dream
- By Jeff Mynatt
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2017
I'm retired military who spent 32 years preparing and actively participating in wars. I just have to believe in my heart that there are worlds beyond our own were beings exist in peace. This poem came to me while I was standing alert in Kuwait while gazing at the multitude of stars shinning above me.

World Of Peace And Love

As I look across a field of green,
I dream.
I look to the stars and wonder just how far,
and I dream.

As I look across a field of green,
I dream.
I look to the stars and wonder just how far,
and I dream.
I dream of worlds beyond where peace and love are one,
and so I dream.
If worlds like that exist and can live in heavenly bliss,
why can't we?
Allow me to dream

This is beautiful. I share your dream even though these days I sometimes feel very naive. Are we moving farther and farther away from being able to get along with each other?

62. What Are Heavy?
- By Christina Rossetti
Christina Rossetti reflects on things that are heavy, brief, frail, and deep. She shares both concrete items and metaphorical ones, whether it’s a state of mind or moment in time. It’s a poem that makes the reader reflect on the meaning of life.

What are heavy? Sea-sand and sorrow;
What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
What are deep? The ocean and truth.

What are heavy? Sea-sand and sorrow;
What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;

63. My Life
- By Kimberly L. Mixon
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2016
My life really hasn't been easy, and when it gets bad, I love to write my feelings down and transform them into poetry. Hope I can help uplift someone today.

Hardships In Life

My life hasn't been great,
But I've made it through.
My life hasn't been easy,
But God said, "I've got you."

My life hasn't been great,
But I've made it through.
My life hasn't been easy,
But God said, "I've got you."

But I have all that I need.
For God so loved the world.
That's what puts my mind at ease.

65. The Butterfly
- By Rick Hunter
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2016
I am constantly amazed by the simple beauty of all that is around us. All we need to do is to sit and be aware of the simple gifts of nature.

Beauty Of A Butterfly In Nature

The butterfly is a thing to behold,
with colors more beautiful than gold.

Flying hour by hour,

The butterfly is a thing to behold,
with colors more beautiful than gold.

Flying hour by hour,
going from flower to flower.

Oh, how I enjoy your beauty butterfly,
as I sit and watch you flutter by.

66. This Is Who I Am
- By Megan R. Bentz
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2016
I wrote this poem for my history class, and it expresses who I am in a way but also gives the reader a chance to see who they think they are.

Surviving A Difficult Time In Your Life

This is who I am:
I am a fighter.
I have a lot of baggage from my past.
I may have some experience and some wisdom,

This is who I am:
I am a fighter.
I have a lot of baggage from my past.
I may have some experience and some wisdom,
But I know there is a lot more to learn.
I will continue rising from the ashes
Until the end.
Nothing can stop me
From being who I am.
So who are you?

67. Smile, Rainbow, A Helping Hand
- By Michelle Ebel
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2016
Everyone has their days when they just need to be themselves.

At times we need a little smile
or a rainbow big and bright.
At times we need a helping hand
to help us make things right.

At times we need a little smile
or a rainbow big and bright.
At times we need a helping hand
to help us make things right.

At times our belief in ourselves
will teach us how strong we are.
That smile, that rainbow, that helping hand.
Our beliefs will get us far.

69. Secrets Under Trees
- By Jessica Knight
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2016
Everyone has lies and hurtful secrets they wish to bury, actions they regret and things they want to change. This short poem is about learning to appreciate everything a person has to offer and not just dwelling on their past mistakes.

Focusing On The Good

Tiny little secrets
Get buried in the dirt,
And if they were dug up,
Someone would probably get hurt,

Tiny little secrets
Get buried in the dirt,
And if they were dug up,
Someone would probably get hurt,
So leave them safely there,
To rot amongst the leaves,
Admiring instead,
The truth in summer's green trees.

70. Childhood
- By Aniket Jangam
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2016
While going through hectic times for a couple of years, my little mind lingered to the innocent, ecstatic days of my childhood, which provoked me to write up this short poem and many others like it about life, the changing times, the changing people, and the way it all affects us! I would love to be able to live our old days yet again and do the things we missed out in the past!

Missing The Simple Joys Of Childhood

Going back to the time, doing all that I want,
Just living up my life, getting all that I can't!

Great was the childhood, innocent were the smiles.

Going back to the time, doing all that I want,
Just living up my life, getting all that I can't!

Great was the childhood, innocent were the smiles.
Walking through the woods was better than today's long drive of miles!

Getting nostalgic at the sight of old places,
Feeling the magic of love, affection and kisses.

Wish I could be selfless and joyous once again
And forget the mess that ends up only in pain!

71. Camouflaged
- By Kim McCrea
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2016
I just write from the heart. Through events in my life, I find putting pen to paper is a great healer.

Poem About The Beautiful Chaos Of Life

In all chaotic beauty lies a wounded work of art.
Beautiful but torn, wreaking havoc on my heart.
Camouflaged by insecurities, blinded by it all.
I love the way you sit there and barely notice me at all.

72. Those Who...
- By Marijke Theart
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2016
I am a South African girl, and I have been writing poems for 5 years now.

Those who judge are the ones who hurt the most.
Those who preach are the ones who got preached at the hardest.
Those who want to know everything are the ones who know the least.
Those who have anger are the ones who really do care.

Those who judge are the ones who hurt the most.
Those who preach are the ones who got preached at the hardest.
Those who want to know everything are the ones who know the least.
Those who have anger are the ones who really do care.
Those who have hurt are the ones who have nothing to be hurt with anymore.
Those who don't understand are the ones wanting to be understood.
Those who know no fear are the ones who are the most scared.
Those who don't believe are the ones wanting to be noticed.
Those who relate to this are the ones who need it the most.

73. Memories
- By Jane Kim
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2015
This poem is about all our memories being there for us when we want to remember.

Poem About An Album Of Memories

Memories in my life fade away
As I replace them with others.
They are forgotten and stored away.
Although the memories are pushed to the side,

Memories in my life fade away
As I replace them with others.
They are forgotten and stored away.
Although the memories are pushed to the side,
They are safe so I may remember them in the future.
Our mind is like a book;
It writes down important things and keeps them between the pages forever.
Maybe our whole album of memories:
Our first steps, first love, first grief, and others
Were meant to be there for us to never forget.

74. To Ashes
- By Robert Durdle

This is a poem I wrote at a very young age when I was "green" and full of imagination.

Life Is Like A Fire

Life is like a fire.
If you can't control your flame,
You're bound to be burned.

The scene is at the beach alone, and it's quiet.

Poem Describing Relaxing At The Beach

The wind blows
I breathe deeply
I close my eyes so tight
I can barely see light

The wind blows
I breathe deeply
I close my eyes so tight
I can barely see light

It's relaxing, it's refreshing
It's peace, it's nature
It's as if I can fly
And never die...

76. A Teacher
- By Mridulika Ganguly
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2015
A teacher is like a candle that burns itself to light the world of others, the one who builds the pillars of a nation, so we should respect teachers.

Poem Sharing The Power Of A Teacher

A teacher introduces us to a new vision of life,
to make us as sharp as a knife.

Someone who gives us a new sight,

A teacher introduces us to a new vision of life,
to make us as sharp as a knife.

Someone who gives us a new sight,
to make us reach the greatest height,
to give us the greatest flight.

So a teacher
makes a human being
the most intelligent and
respectable creature.

80. Forever
- By Terri Nicole Tharrington
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2012
My name is Terri Nicole Tharrington. I am in the US NAVY and I have been writing poems since I was 14 years old. I want to get out of the military and major in writing but I am not sure how far it is going to get me. My poems started off depressing because of all of the complications and hurdles I faced growing up as a kid, but being around positive attitudes and finally believing in myself has gotten me a long way. Thanks for reading! Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Short Poem About Forever

Forever we remain oblivious to the future,
lost to the past and enduring our torture.
Forever we take chances to settle our scores,
losing some battles and winning some wars.

Forever we remain oblivious to the future,
lost to the past and enduring our torture.
Forever we take chances to settle our scores,
losing some battles and winning some wars.
Forever praying out loud hoping someone will hear,
forever crying softly but never shedding a tear.
Forever exists behind a disguise,
but the belief in forever keeps our hearts alive.
