Inspirational Poems

Here are a few inspirational poems and verses,most written with family and friends in mind.

Journey

Life is like a journey down a winding road.
Along which you travel, carrying your load.
You can never turn back its a forward pace
To the very end, the future to face.
With people to meet and places to see,
You can stay for a while or take flight and flee.
Pass on by, but where are you going?
To the journeys end without even knowing
Love or commitment or sharing your load
And travelling with someone along life’s lonesome road .

Friendship is a two Way Street

Friendship is a two way street.
Offer your hand to those you meet.
Be a friend and you will receive.
Someone to share life’s uneven weave,
Of joy and sadness through the years.
A friend to wipe away the tears.
Life’s to short so add some zest.
Go out there and join the best.
Make a friend of your neighbour.
A good turn may return a favour.
Once the hand of friendship is took,
Most of your hang up will slip the hook.
So open your door, face the world
Don’t spend your days, a bud unfurled.
Hid away inside your mind.
No friend in there for you to find.
Empower yourself, go out and greet,
Old and new friends out there on the street.

Tomorrow

I know yesterday was mine.
But I peer into the future,
And wander what will be.
Study the past
Not mindful of today.
Yesterday must be forgotten.
As I greet each new day
Catch and hold it tight.
I quit dreaming to
Live for the moment.


To the Top

Tomorrow is another day.
I want to forget today.
Yesterday was so much fun,
I was rather sad when it was done.
Next week it will be better still.
My life will pick up, I know it will.
I have been down before.
Yes! I hit the floor.
But bounced up again,
Because I know I can.
The way is up to the very top.
I’ll keep on going I’ll never stop.
It is hard at times,
But I continue to climb.
And I’ll never stop till I reach the top.

Moments

Capture a moment
Freeze it with care.
Cherish and love it
And have it to share.
Precious moments
Bring us joy.
Remembered by us
When things can annoy.


Yesterday Child

You beautiful child of yester years.
Who has travelled through a life of many careers
As daughter, wife and mother
And now a grandmother like no other.
Family life and years of strife
May have been your burden as a wife.
Your family has always been precious to you
And now your time is overdue.
So sit back, let us take the strain
You were the strongest in our chain.
Now we want to pay you back
And put your life on a new track.
Don’t sit at home and fade away
Go outside and grab the day.

Friends

Friends are what makes life worth while.
They help each other with a smile.
They are there for you when troubles start,
Their strength comes straight from the heart.
Life’s ups and downs don’t seem so bad
When their around your not as sad.

Through thick and thin they help you out.
Friends are special without a doubt.
Best friends learn to give and take.
They cope with your moods and make
Up quickly, when dark days are done.
Then encourage you to have some fun.

So be a friend but there is a knack
What you give out, you will get back.
So work at being some ones friend,
It will pay off in the end.

Dreams

Life is full of dreams
And hopes they may come true
But often they never do.
We struggle along it seems
Trying to realise impossible dreams.
But if we let go and took each day
As it comes, we would say
There is no future. So we need to strive
To keep these dreams alive
