41. Tribute To Dale Earnhardt Sr.
- By Mitchell Browder
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2011
I was in the Air Force and deployed to the Middle East the day Dale Earnhardt crashed. We were lucky enough to have a TV to see the race. Later that night, I sat in my bunk and wrote this for him.

I have built this machine with bleeding hands.
I have shaped it to slice the wind.
I have shined it with polish and sweat.
I have balanced it with feel

I have built this machine with bleeding hands.
I have shaped it to slice the wind.
I have shined it with polish and sweat.
I have balanced it with feel
and powered it with iron and steel.
I will become one with it and give it life.
I will know the wind like the falcon.
I will know speed like the cheetah.
I will not have fear
for this is where my spirit is free.

43. I Love To Breathe In
- By Ann D. Stevenson
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 23, 2022
I lost my sense of smell when I got Covid, which made me appreciate my favourite scents much more when my sense of smell returned.

Recovering My Sense Of Smell After Covid

Homely aromas
of freshly baked bread.
Scents of the garden
infused in my head.

Homely aromas
of freshly baked bread.
Scents of the garden
infused in my head.

Wiffs of the sea
whilst walking the beach.
Sniffs of freshness
from an apple or peach.

The essence of a baby
breathed in from its skin.
And my love, ah my love,
I love breathing you in.

44. In Heaven
- By Jo
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2007
A very close friend of mine has recently taken his life. This poem is something I wrote for his mother who I have grown up with, or should I say, watched me grow up.

Up in heaven,
They have someone new

At those gates,

Up in heaven,
They have someone new

At those gates,
He'll be waiting for you

Not just now,
We need you here

We'll all help you through
Each and every tear

46. Life Isn't Black And White
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 25, 2021
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.

Sometimes
you’ve got to look

48. 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

49. Relaxation
- By Polette
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2015
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 feels as if I float on thin air
It's relaxing, it's refreshing
It's peace, it's nature
It's as if I can fly
And never die...

50. 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

51. Every Day Changes You

every day changes you
sometimes a lot
sometimes barely
but life never stops

every day changes you
sometimes a lot
sometimes barely

52. Still
- By Amber
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2013
Well, where do I start? I'm an 18-year-old girl who has depression. I write a lot of poems about what has happened to me in the past, and I write the "darker" poems. I had something horrible happen to me in September, so I write about that. Please enjoy my poems.

Short Dark Poem

The crow flies
People die
Souls are lost
Tears dry

The crow flies
People die
Souls are lost
Tears dry
Love fades
Blood stops dripping
The sun sets
Flowers turn to dust
People turn to stone
The crow freezes
And life stands still

53. The Marching Heart
- By Beau Taplin
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021
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.

54. The Girl I Used To Be
- By Stephanie Bennett-Henry

Try as I may, try as I do,
there are days when I wish
I could go back

Try as I may, try as I do,
there are days when I wish
I could go back
to the girl I used to be
and tell her about
all the roads to avoid.
But if I did that
I may not have become
the girl I am now,
and I am too proud of her
to risk taking even one piece
of her journey away.

As our feet sink in the snow

56. That Feeling Of Forever
- By Laura
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008
I want that feeling.
You know?
That feeling of forever.
So simple,

I want that feeling.
You know?
That feeling of forever.
So simple,
Yet combined with everything
Love, lust, happiness, sadness
Everything.
But still,
I want that feeling.
You know?
That feeling of forever.

57. A Thorny Rose
- By Kirston D. Warfield
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
A young girl compares life to a rose.

Our life is like a thorny rose
Not perfect, but always beautiful
The thorns represent the hardships in our lives.
The delicate red petals represent the fun and beautiful things in our lives.

Our life is like a thorny rose
Not perfect, but always beautiful
The thorns represent the hardships in our lives.
The delicate red petals represent the fun and beautiful things in our lives.
As a young rose the petals hugging around the seed
are the family and friends who protect, love, and care for us.

58. You Are Enough
- By Bethny Ricks
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 4, 2021
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

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

59. 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.
