61. A Veteran's Duties
- By Jason Matthew Keller
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2008
I am Jason Keller. I am a Veteran of the US Army.

If you are a Vet
You might be in debt,

Times were hard and it made you sweat

If you are a Vet
You might be in debt,

Times were hard and it made you sweat
Like dodging death and getting all wet,

We all carried our duties, I drove a H.E.T.
Our guns were up and we were all set,

We prayed and wondered if we were there yet
But the Lord had us in his "net."

You never know what you're going to get.

63. 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.

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

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

Try as I may, try as I do,

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.

66. Winter Lullabies
- By Sabina Laura
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021
Winter speaks
in blusters
and lullabies fall
with the snow.

Winter speaks
in blusters
and lullabies fall

Some float
through the air

of magic,
and some
settle like dreams

67. 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

if the strands of your soul
feel frayed and withered,
sit within the arms

and her quiet love

72. The Comfort Of Pain
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 28, 2021
As a poet, I’ve grown used to embracing pain; to treating it as the fuel I need to create. These days I hold sadness to my chest like it’s another organ, something I’m terrified to be without. This doesn’t mean I’m always depressed or continually sad, but it does mean that I’ve learned to rely on pain I’ve already experienced. Sometimes, I wonder if I’ve begun to seek it out, to find new ways to shatter this thing behind my ribs.

Live this way long enough and, eventually, the heartbreak begins to feel comforting; like an old friend. If I’m honest, i can’t help thinking it’s the only thing I can rely on not to leave. It’s the closest thing I have to home.

Live with it
long enough
and pain begins
to feel familiar,

Live with it
long enough
and pain begins
to feel familiar,

even comforting.

I guess when
it’s the only constant
even heartbreak
can find a way

to feel like home.

74. What Healing Is Meant To Look Like
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2020
I’ve been holding on to little fragments of you for a long time, because I could never bring myself to let you go all at once.

But deep down, I know I need to let go of these pieces. I can’t move on when I’m living next to these reminders of the people we were - the way we wrapped ourselves in each other. I don’t know what healing is meant to look like, but this feels like a good place to start.

I don’t know
what healing
is meant
to look like,

I don’t know
what healing
is meant
to look like,
but washing
the smell of you
from my hoodie
feels like
a good place

75. 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

76. 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.

The better will

unexpectedly,
taking your breath away.
