42. 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. 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 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.

46. Relaxation
- By Polette

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

Poem Describing Relaxing At The Beach

The wind blows

I close my eyes so tight
I can barely see light

The wind blows
I breathe deeply

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

48. 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.

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.

50. 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.

51. 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.

52. 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

53. 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.

54. Memories
- By Carley.Ruggles
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2011
I wrote this remembering that my father and grandfather both sexually abused me, and I realized that I could move on.

Moving Beyond Bad Memories

Memories, memories
I have had.
Some were good, though most were bad.
Physical and sexual abuse occurred

Memories, memories
I have had.
Some were good, though most were bad.
Physical and sexual abuse occurred
And madness and sadness reoccurred.
I feel as though I'm on display as the messed up school girl here to stay,
but they will never know
how I will grow
and be someone someday.
So look at me in dismay
and you discourage me for the last time today.

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

57. The Hand Of Fate
- By Beau Taplin
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021
From Beau's book Here At Dawn: Poetry and Prose.

There is no reason to feel troubled
if your path has not been made clear to you yet.
When you remain true to your spirit,
courageous in action,

There is no reason to feel troubled
if your path has not been made clear to you yet.
When you remain true to your spirit,
courageous in action,
and listen ever to the
small guiding voice in your heart,
you find the universe soon points out its place for you,
and then leads you there
gently by the hand.

58. Better Will Come
- By M.B.Victoria
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2020
It is so important to always hold on to hope. You owe it to yourself, and by holding on to hope you are allowing things to unfold in such a way that you are more likely to come across brighter days.

Have faith
that although it may seem
like the good has come and gone,
there will be better.

Have faith
that although it may seem
like the good has come and gone,
there will be better.

The better will
enter your life suddenly,
unexpectedly,
taking your breath away.

59. Love Is Better Than Hate
- By Poppy Cooke
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2009
This short poem personally tells me that life needs living to the fullest! I wrote this poem because of how I feel so strongly about people wasting their lives away when they have so much more they could be doing with their lives.

Poem About Living A Full Life

Don't judge a book by its cover.
Love is better than hate.

Life's too short to waste opportunities

Don't judge a book by its cover.
Love is better than hate.

so keep your head held high with a big smile on your face!

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.

if the strands of your soul
