A Sense Of Love
- By William Wilson
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2019 with permission of the Author.
This is a simple poem simply created from my love of my wife.
For Valentine's Day, the first as husband and wife, I thought I'd try my hand at showing my love in a new, romantic way. What better way than through rhyme?

The Depth Of Your Love

in Wife Poems

Love is not something you see.
It's meaning everything to me.
It's needing to have you in my life,
So much that I made you my wife.

Love is not something you see.
It's meaning everything to me.
It's needing to have you in my life,
So much that I made you my wife.

Love is not something you hear.
It's always wanting to have you near.
It's needing to feel your lips each day
So much that no words could ever say.

Love is not something you taste.
It's never letting it go to waste.
It's needing to see you even when we fight,
So much or I'll miss you day and night.

Love is not something you touch.
It's knowing that you mean so much.
It's needing your skin when I'm in bed,
So much that you make me lose my head.

Love is not something you smell.
It's something that you're proud to tell.
It's needing to always make you smile,
So much that you make my life worthwhile.

Christmas Time
- By Ronald Doe
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2010 with permission of the Author.
During the holiday season let's remember to be grateful for the gifts God has bestowed upon us instead of envious of the gifts He has bestowed upon others.

Christmas Is A Time For...

in Christmas Poems

Christmas time is finally here.
It only comes but once a year,
And it's a time to spread good cheer
To those we love and hold so dear.

Christmas time is finally here.
It only comes but once a year,
And it's a time to spread good cheer
To those we love and hold so dear.

Christmas time is a time of glee,
A time when peace and love run free,
A time for those like you and me
To sit beneath the Christmas tree.

Christmas time is a time of joy,
A time to sit back and enjoy
The smile on each girl and boy,
As they play with a Christmas toy.

Christmas time is a time to share
The passing of another year.
Birth of Jesus, a joyful prayer,
To show loved ones how much we care.

Christmas time is a time for song,
A time for us to get along,
To make us feel Lord Jesus strong,
Forgive all those who did us wrong.

Christmas time is a time to pray,
Put love and kindness on display,
Show compassion along the way.
Christmas time should be every day.

A Philia Love
- By Joann Foley
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2017 with permission of the Author.
Philia love is a love between close friends. It is a generous and affectionate love. Philia means brotherly or platonic love in Ancient Greek.

Brotherly Love

in Best Friend Poems

You have a gentle heart and a caring soul.
You use affectionate words in order to extol.
You are a true treasure encased in my heart,
A bond so strong, it will never depart.

You have a gentle heart and a caring soul.
You use affectionate words in order to extol.
You are a true treasure encased in my heart,
A bond so strong, it will never depart.

You easily bring out a piece of me
That proves so difficult for others to see.
You lift my spirits and fade my tears.
You give me a friendship that withstands and perseveres.

We are individuals who don’t want to do it alone,
So we use laughter and kindness as our cornerstone.
We support one another to grow separately,
While nurturing our friendship ever so tenderly.

I could not have imagined what you would mean to me
When our friendship was new,
But now I can honestly say I’d be completely
Lost without you.

I invite you to search my heart so you can find
A philia love for you that is pure and divine.
A gift to my heart you will always be.
My companionship is forever yours; that I guarantee.

Autumn Leaves
- By Edel T. Copeland
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2016 with permission of the Author.
The poem is about nature and the calming effect it can have on our lives. I have always been inspired by the beauty of nature and particularly love the changes autumn brings. Simple things like a leaf falling gently onto your lap can have so many meanings to different people. The shedding of leaves can be viewed as Mother Nature's way of letting go in the same way we may need to let go of things that are holding us back in our everyday lives.

Letting Go Of The Old

in Fall Poems

Golden, crisp leaves falling softly from almost bare trees,
Lifting and falling in a hushed gentle breeze.
Slowly dropping to the soft cushioned ground,
Whispering and rustling a soothing sound.

Golden, crisp leaves falling softly from almost bare trees,
Lifting and falling in a hushed gentle breeze.
Slowly dropping to the soft cushioned ground,
Whispering and rustling a soothing sound.

Coppers, golds, and rusted tones,
Mother Nature's way of letting go.
They fall and gather one by one,
Autumn is here, summer has gone.

Crunching as I walk through their warm, fiery glow,
Nature's carpet rich and pure that again shall grow.
To protect and shield its majestic tree,
Standing tall and strong for the world to see.

They rise and fall in the cool, crisp air.
It's a time of change in this world we share,
Nature's importance reflecting our own lives,
Letting go of our fears and again, too, we shall thrive.

A True Friend
- By Nicole

The poet tells about the forming of a close friendship.

in True Friend Poems

Analysis of Form and Technique

Before you became a friend of mine,
We knew each other for quite some time.
I hate to say we wasted a year and a half.
I'm glad we can now look back and laugh.

Before you became a friend of mine,
We knew each other for quite some time.
I hate to say we wasted a year and a half.
I'm glad we can now look back and laugh.

It's funny how things turned out.
I wish I could say I never had a doubt.
Truth is, I'm proud to say
You and I have come a long, long way.

You touch the lives of people you know.
You walk around with a humble glow.
You've been a best friend to me,
One that will last an eternity.

I know my secrets you will keep.
On your shoulder I can weep.
You always listen and never judge me,
Always understand so objectively.

You light up a room when you walk in.
I'm so fortunate that my friend you've been.
You are the epitome of a best friend, a true ten.
I wish I had known that way back then.

Words can't convey what you mean.
A better friend I have yet seen.
You confide in me, and I in you.
You are a friend who's completely true.

I never thought we'd be friends like this.
A lifetime of this we almost missed.
I'm blessed things have turned out this way.
I thank God for you every day.

I'm thankful it was not too late.
My friendship with you was well worth the wait.
I love you for all that you are.
There's no better friend by far.

Working In Your Dungarees
- By Ronald Doe
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2010 with permission of the Author.
My mother is an extremely strong woman. She was forced to bury two daughters and a granddaughter. She catered to my paralyzed sister, Kelly, for 25 years. When Kelly died, the doctor called my mother and said, "I gave your daughter 6 months to live 25 years ago. There is no doubt in my mind she lived 25 years because of your undying love."

I Love You, Ma, Happy Mother's Day

in Mother's Day Poems

You always did the best you could
To make your children grow up good.
You always worked to make ends meet,
To give your children food to eat.

You always did the best you could
To make your children grow up good.
You always worked to make ends meet,
To give your children food to eat.

For I saw you down on your knees,
Working in your dungarees.
Working hard just to get us by,
But never once did I see you cry.

You always sang a happy song.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
But somewhere, Mom, I went astray
And broke your heart each Mother's Day.

You always gave me all you had,
And in return I made you sad.
I guess I didn't understand
Just what it took to be a man.

For I forgot to be your son
And was blind to the damage done.
But, Ma, you taught me right from wrong,
And now I sing a different song.

I sing a song of happiness,
I sing a song of joy and bliss.
I sing when I am on my knees,
Working in my dungarees.

I sing a song of peace and love,
A song to you and God above.
And I'm so proud I can finally say,
"I love you, Ma, Happy Mother's Day."

Nature's Way
- By Alora M. Knight
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2018 with permission of the Author.
At 96, I seldom get out anymore, but when I do, I like to people watch. It saddens me how to see the indifference that seems to be prevalent. I always try to smile at people, and usually the first response is surprise, then a bit of a shaky smile. Children are more apt to spontaneously smile back. The conflict between races is creating an unfriendly world. Each one of us needs to do our part to make it better.

Poem About Smiling Makes The World A Better Place

in Compassion Poems

Is there anything as tranquil
As a brightly glowing jonquil
That stands in sweet serenity,
A part of nature's tapestry?

Is there anything as tranquil
As a brightly glowing jonquil
That stands in sweet serenity,
A part of nature's tapestry?

A flower that never questions why,
The rivers flow and birds will fly,
Content to fill part of the plan,
To beautify the world of man.

If we would only realize
We, too, can help to glorify,
To find within each passing day
A happiness along the way.

A loving hug or cheerful smile
Can help to make a life worthwhile.
If all would lend a helping hand,
We soon would have a world so grand.

Poem About Wanting To Change In Order To Be Loved

in Heartbreak Poems by Teens

I know I'm hurt, and you are too
I know things are tough with me and you
I know I'm torn apart inside
I know I can hurt you with my pride

I know I'm hurt, and you are too
I know things are tough with me and you
I know I'm torn apart inside
I know I can hurt you with my pride

I know I'm nothing, not even a dime
I know I'm just a blink in time
I know I'm broken, unmendable now
But if you could just try and fix me somehow?

If you could just take my head in your hands
Bestow a nod that understands
If you could take this worn out soul
If you could mend it, make it whole

If I was different, my heart didn't bleed
If I was free of envy and greed
If I was better, happier and pure
If I was...perhaps you'd like me more?

If I knew the spell to make it all right
If I knew the dreams you dreamed in the night
If I saw the hopes and fears that you see
If I had the locket, held the key

If I was or only I wasn't so tall
If I was perhaps petite and small, or
If I was lighter, brighter and sweet
If I could put the world at your feet

If only I could fit the mold
If only t'was me you'd want to hold
If only I were younger, handsome and free...
Then maybe you could love me?

Cousin Passed Away Poem

My eyes fill up in tears,

I lie in bed at night
as I think of this scary fright.

My eyes fill up in tears,

I love you with all my heart.
I wish we wouldn't have to be apart.

I wish you only knew how I feel.

Tears roll down my face
To see you in such a happy place.
I hope we will meet again someday
So the pain inside me will wash away.

One Good Scare

This poem is about a spooky experience on Halloween

A Spooky Story In Honor Of Halloween

in Halloween Poems

I saw a shadow passing by,
Thinking it just a trick of the eye.
I turned on the light, but no one was there,
Though I noticed a fragrance, thick in the air.

I saw a shadow passing by,
Thinking it just a trick of the eye.
I turned on the light, but no one was there,
Though I noticed a fragrance, thick in the air.

Convinced all was well, I lay myself down,
But then, without warning, came a frightening sound.
I could hear right beside me, so crystal clear,
Someone was breathing right in my ear.

I turned on the light and jumped out of my bed,
This time I was certain it was not in my head.
The quiet that followed seemed abnormally loud,
And there, in the doorway, I saw a dark cloud.

It floated right toward me as fast as could be,
And then it just stopped, quite suddenly.
And there I could see an old woman's shape,
Dressed in a flowing, black, hooded cape.

Slowly her eyes looked straight into mine,
I felt locked in her stare for what seemed a long time.
But then she just smiled a sick, toothless grin.
As she lapsed into a wild and swift, twirling spin.

I felt mesmerized by this terrible sight,
Unable to move, paralyzed with fright.
And then once again came that sweet, sickening smell,
Perhaps, I was smelling the doorway to hell.

A sinister cackling filled up the room,
She sounded like a murderous, malevolent loon.
She reached out her hands with black, claw-like nails,
And then from her mouth came a torturous wail.

Her spinning slowed down and came to stop,
Just like a child's toy, spinning top.
And then she was gone, she just disappeared.
But I sat there unmoving, still lost in stark fear.

Then I crawled back to bed and curled up by the light.
Grasping my Bible with all of my might.
Praying and praying with heartfelt concern,
That this monstrous spirit might make a return.

I watched as the clock ticked the long night away,
Longing for the light of a brand new day.
And over and over, I relived what I'd seen,
And then suddenly remembered, it was Halloween.

Well it gave me relief; I now lay there quite calm,
The horror I felt was suddenly gone.
That crazy old woman was supposed to be there,
On this day, above all, I deserved one good scare.

Well I felt like a load had been lifted from me,
And as I relaxed I fell quickly to sleep.
But I never forgot what that night I had seen,
And when I was treated to a true Halloween.

Every Day My Love For You Grows
- By Chelsea Luamanuvae

I met a guy this year. First I thought he would just be another one of my guy friends. Then I started talking to him more and we started hanging out a lot, and somewhere in between all of that I started to fall for him.

Every day that passes us by
all I could think of is this one guy.
I never thought I'd feel this way,
but the feeling I have I want to stay.

I'm terrified of your rejection
'cause, boy, all I want is your acceptance.

I just don't know how to let you know.
But one thing that will last a while
is that my love for you will never be in denial.

Poem About Wanting Our House To Be Filled With Love

in Christmas Poems

Dear Santa,

Christmas is coming, and I know I should be glad,
But to tell the real truth, I am really, really sad.

Dear Santa,

Christmas is coming, and I know I should be glad,
But to tell the real truth, I am really, really sad.
You see, I have lost something so precious to me,
And there is no way you could put it back under my tree.

I was given a job quite some time ago.
I thought I could do it, but it wasn't so.
I honestly did what I thought was the best,
But this mess, who wouldn't guessed?

I was given a family with daughters to raise.
Oh, how I wish I could relive those days.
I would do it differently, be a better mother.
Maybe then we wouldn't hate each other.

My house is no longer a happy one.
There is no more laughter, no more fun.
No one talks, no one seems to care.
We are all just roommates with a place to share.

I don't really know where things went all wrong.
I truly thought love would keep the family strong.
I realize now that it wasn't enough.
Neither was buying them all kinds of stuff.

Somewhere along the line I believe I've failed.
Instead of love and caring, it's hate that's prevailed.
They have all given up; they don't care anymore,
And it breaks my heart to its very core.

I am tired of crying and feeling so bad.
I want things to be happy and no longer be sad.
I want my family back; is that too much to ask?
I don't really think it's an impossible task.

Just talk to the girls and make them believe
That together there is nothing we can't achieve.
We can be a family again; I know and I pray.
They are just lost; please show them the way.

Dear Santa, I hope that you hear my plea
And bring my family back to me.
I would be ever so grateful and I promise I'd be
A better mother than I'd been previously.
