This Is Your Time
- By Tanya Markul
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
From Tanya Markul's first poetry collection, The She Book

in Inspirational Poems

This is your time
to no longer be who you were,
to rise from the embers,
to be guided by Her.

This is your time
to no longer be who you were,
to rise from the embers,
to be guided by Her.

This is your time
to be carried by Grace,
out of the matrix
and away from the race.

This is your time
to forever change the rest,
to untame, to shift, to lead,
and live blessed.

Take A Bow
- By S.C. Lourie
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Inspirational Poems

Take a bow, lovely one.
Because you’re tired
And still you’re doing it.
You’re feeling empty

Take a bow, lovely one.
Because you’re tired
And still you’re doing it.
You’re feeling empty
And still you’re giving it.
You’re unsure of yourself
And still you’re being it.
You got hit hard
And still you’re healing it.
Funds are low
And still you’re dreaming it.
Life ain’t so easy right now
And still you’re loving it.
The winds are blowing hard
And still you’re walking it.
Yes, take a bow, lovely one.
(You made it to Friday)

Dear Diary
- By Bethny Ricks
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2020 with permission of the Author.
When the cares of this life overtake me, these are the words I choose to remember and say. As the tears roll down my face, leaving their imprint on overworked paper, and my fear wrestles with my breath, I remind myself of who fuels my strength and the beauty of my faith. For through it all, no matter what I have faced, or the length of the waiting, my God is still good and will do exactly what He says.

God Is Still Good

in God Poems

in my weeping, He is still good
in my fear, He is still good
in my weariness, He is still good
in my pain, frustration, hurt, and shame

in my weeping, He is still good
in my fear, He is still good
in my weariness, He is still good
in my pain, frustration, hurt, and shame
He is still good
and when hope seems distant, my God is still good

I hate people who’ve hurt me
so you’ll never hear me say
I must love them harder.
I know that

isolating myself will make me happy
I refuse to believe that

I’m ashamed of loving so deeply.
No longer can I say
I deserve abundant love.

Better Will Come
- By M.B.Victoria
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2020 with permission of the Author.
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.

in Short Poems

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

She Makes Me Whole
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
I've never thought of her as perfect. But she was the closest I've ever been to knowing what it means to belong. The truth is, I still don't know what love means, but when I hear the word, I think of her.

in Short Love Poems

I don’t think
she is perfect.
She is flawed and broken
like the rest of us.

I don’t think

But the pieces she has

Your name is just a name now.
Memories no longer rush back,

When You Cross My Mind
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Moving On Poems

When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.

When that song comes on,

When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.

When that song comes on,
my heart no longer beats to its rhythm.

When I walk down our street,
my hands no longer feel empty without yours in them.

But you’re always on my mind,
and I play that song on repeat,
and my feet always seem to take me straight
to that street.

I don’t need to be the sun;
the center of it all.
Always present.
Always burning.

Give me that peace.

That choice.
The ability to surround myself in darkness,
or to subtly, yet brilliantly
glow.
