Written Just For You

Because some moments deserve words that are only theirs —
a poem written just for them, from your story.

This is where our poets write something completely new shaped by your story, your intention, and your person. It’s not just a message; it’s a moment held in words.

We write these poems for the times when you know what you feel, but can’t quite find the words yourself.

Our hope is that these poems stay — on a windowsill, in a notebook, in a heart.

Always My Home

Heartfelt Love
Brief
  • For a mother
  • Keep it tender, timeless, and sincere
  • Express gratitude for unconditional love and support
  • Reference how she has always been a source of comfort
Poem excerpt

You’ve been my first safe place, and my constant home ever since.

No matter how grown my steps may be, I still hear your voice, steady, warm, the rhythm of my roots.

You taught me how to stand on my own without ever making love feel conditional.

How to leave, while knowing exactly where I belonged.

I carry your patience in the way I pause, your strength in the way I keep going.

Even now, when my life is louder, fuller, there’s comfort in knowing someone has always seen me clearly.

Not just who I was, but who I was becoming.

If I’ve learned how to love well, it’s because I learned it here, in your steadiness, your care, your quiet faith in me.

Some loves change shape as we grow. Ours didn’t fade, it deepened.

And wherever life takes me next, there will always be a part of me that knows how to come

Home.

“She cried as soon as she read it. I was so happy”

Be Your Own Favourite

Heartfelt Encouragment
Brief
  • For a teenager becoming a young adult
  • I want them to feel confident about who they are
Poem excerpt

You’ve loved a hundred things,
loudly, fully, all the way.

Each one a little world
you let yourself live in, unapologetically.

You had a gift for picking the longest playlists,
then laughing all the way through of them.

And Smyths, that was your happy place.
A plastic palace. You lit up like an unboxed toy.

So, here’s your reminder:

You’re part of the wonder too.

A one-off. A rare drop.

Holographic. Possibly glow-in-the-dark.

Be your own
favourite.

You’ve always been someone worth choosing,

the symphony and the main event.

“They've always felt misunderstood but reading their poem I could see they felt seen finally.”

A Summer Hello

Playful Just Because
Brief
  • For two children (siblings)
  • Include phrase: “muy guapo”
  • Reference Jake’s love of drums and languages
  • Reference Millie’s love of baking
  • Keep it playful and simple
Poem excerpt

Sometimes kind words don’t need a reason, just sending you joy this summer season!

Jake always dancing to the beat of your own drum,

Still speaking in more than one tongue - ¡muy guapo, hun!

Molly with all your oven experiments,
Elbow-deep in dough is your true element.

Clever and kind, creative and bright, mischievous too (but mostly polite).

From your former nanny, wishing you well,

Have all the adventures, more than you can tell!

“The kids absolutely loved it! They were ecstatic!”

Boss Mode Activated

Celebratory Friendship
Brief
  • For a creative and fun best friend
  • They started a business
  • Sender is so proud of what their friend has achieved
Poem excerpt

I had a feeling you might need a reminder so here it is:
Whatever’s going on,
you’re a boss.
A phoenix rising above it all.

You’ve grown your own lane, your bloom seen far and wide.

Unapologetic. Original.

Nothing borrowed, standing fully in your own light.

You move like the room is catching up, walk like the road knows your name.

And best of all —

you’re still becoming.

What’s next doesn’t stand a chance.

“He laughed so much and then became emotional.”
