About our poems stories

Inspirational poems to read slowly, share with a friend or tuck into a card. Most are in traditional rhyme and meter, easy to read aloud at a family gathering, a memorial service or a church event.

Readers love A Letter From Heaven, a poem of comfort written as a letter from a loved one who has passed on, and Pennies From Heaven, about the small signs that cheer us when life feels blue. Don’t Mess With Momma is a funny poem every mother will recognize. It’s in the Valleys I Grow is a favorite for hard seasons, and A Gift of Peace and Hope tells how Longfellow came to write “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day”.

You’ll find Christian poems about faith and gratitude, poems for mothers and grandparents, and gentle verses about growing older together. Many were sent in by our readers, and new poems are added on many Sundays. If you write poetry, we’d be glad to read yours: send us your poem.
