Poems from Our Hearts

Poems from Our Hearts is more than a poetry book-it is a living chronicle of one family's journey of love, gratitude, and togetherness across generations.

Written by the Weerasinghe family-who moved from Sri Lanka and built a life in the United Kingdom-this anthology reflects the richness of two worlds. It honours deep Sri Lankan traditions while embracing British community life, creating a unique collection rooted in both heritage and belonging.

Spanning over a decade, these heartfelt poems capture the innocence of childhood, the reflections of adolescence, and the enduring strength of family bonds. From playful birthday verses to touching Mother's Day and Father's Day tributes, and reflective words of parents to children, each poem tells a story of love, resilience, and gratitude.

Inside you will find:

• Birthday, Mother's Day, and Father's Day poems filled with warmth and humour

• Tributes that celebrate parents, children, and the ties that bind across generations

• Bilingual verses in English and Sinhala, reflecting Sri Lankan heritage

• Contributions from family and friends that deepen the sense of kinship

At its heart, this book is about more than poetry-it is about family and the timeless words that bind us together.

Whether you are a parent cherishing the words of your children, a child remembering the love of your parents, or simply someone who values cultural roots and family connections, Poems from Our Hearts will inspire you to reflect, smile, and perhaps even write verses of your own.

"A family's story told not in prose, but in love-filled lines of poetry."
