Inspiring Poem To Make The Most Of Our Lives

in Inspirational Poems

Life's too short to be wasted.
It passes just once, so make the most out of it.
Live life the way you want it to be.
Live it to the fullest, feel free!

Life's too short to be wasted.
It passes just once, so make the most out of it.
Live life the way you want it to be.
Live it to the fullest, feel free!

Live as the sun shines in the sky.
Live as high as the birds can fly.
Live as the colors of a rainbow.
Live as far as the clouds can go.

Never waste it with worthless doubts and fears,
With insecurities and useless tears.
Remember that what couldn't tear you makes you strong.
Put away frustrations, sing your own song!

Believe in what you can do.
The world is round; it's all up to you.
Think fast, act now!
Time is gold; it couldn't be renewed.

Value experiences, learn from mistakes.
Improve for the better, live for others.
Do what is right and what is best.
Always be yourself, unique from the rest.

Laugh as if there's no tomorrow.
Dance as though you'll never get through.
Love with all your heart and soul.
Sing like you're on the top of the world.

Forget the money, the root of all evil.
Treasure your loved ones; you're lucky they're still there.
Strengthen your faith, live with God.
The best things in life are for free, so why not?!

A Journey To A New Year
- By Sumira R. Arain
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2016 with permission of the Author.
My poem is about the beginning of New Year’s Day…what we celebrate and the start of a new journey to lead a successful life. Forget your mistakes and lead a new life with hope and courage.

Poem About A Successful Year Ahead

in New Year's Poems

First day of the New Year.
It's time to shine for a new day.
Forget your past,
Your sorrow, your pain.

First day of the New Year.
It's time to shine for a new day.
Forget your past,
Your sorrow, your pain.
New ideas are waiting ahead.
It's time to recall all your memories,
Beautiful dreams that remain uncovered,
Painful parts of life when your heart gets crushed.
But don't be afraid.
The future is in your hand.
Hold it in your hand.
Start your race,
A new journey,
That leads you to success.
You will rise again
You will shine again.
Happy New Year!

Poem About Positive Attitude In Life

in Inspirational Poems

Open your heart to happiness.
Let every pore absorb light.
Swim in the joy of the here and now,
And cast off the darkness of night.

Open your heart to happiness.
Let every pore absorb light.
Swim in the joy of the here and now,
And cast off the darkness of night.
Walk in the summer of sunshine.
Fly in the blueness of sky.
Know possibilities are boundless.
Understand that nothing can die.
Step from the shadows of torment.
Sing 'til your throat gets too sore.
Smile for as long as the day is,
And laugh just a little bit more.
Breathe slowly and deeply and listen.
Give all your ideas a chance.
Let the sun beat down on your goodness,
And kick off your shoes and dance.

If You Must Go
- By Terry Gouveia
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2015 with permission of the Author.
These are a few things I have learned from my experiences in life.

Poem With Words Of Advice

in Life Lesson Poems

If you must go, then go for a while
Remember that first step is a hard traveled mile.

To learn what lessons life has in store,

If you must go, then go for a while
Remember that first step is a hard traveled mile.

To learn what lessons life has in store,
You must be willing to open each door.

Don't be afraid to experience something new
For each experience will be a benefit to you.

Never live your life in the past
Enjoy every day as if it were your last

Mistakes you will make along the way
Learn from them, and you'll be okay

Set your goals high and strive for them
As long as you try, you'll never be condemned

Be kind and respect the people you meet
For they may be the ones to make life complete

Be sincere in everything you do
And treat others as you wish they would you

Whatever you do, make sure you're content
For the last thing you want is something to resent

So if you must go, then go for a while
And when you return, return with a smile.

Pebbles
- By Derek T
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2015 with permission of the Author.
Too often in life, people don't appreciate the things they have - the simple things that money cannot buy. They get too caught up in looking to tomorrow, the future, that they don't stop to appreciate today, the memories they are currently making. I wrote this to open the eyes of those who go through this life too fast. Those who only concern themselves with material possessions and forget the value of a simple smile....cheers.

Poem About Appreciating Simple Things In Life

in Life Lesson Poems

Time has grown frantic
Moves by us so swiftly
Too often overwhelmed
Losing sight of life's gift

Time has grown frantic
Moves by us so swiftly
Too often overwhelmed
Losing sight of life's gift
A priceless luxury
Can't turn back the clock
True purpose hidden
Behind deadbolt and lock

Stop for an instant
Just take in the keys
Close your eyes, exhale
Lose yourself in life's melodies
Yearn for the sunshine
Rain pounding your roof
Days of elation
Never straying aloof

Be spontaneous and free
Always do the unplanned
Cherish this rose garden
Don't let it slip through your hand
Anticipate all
Misfortune and bliss
Always be humble
Give your mother a kiss

Take nothing for granted
Every pebble's unique
Required to channel
Our cascading creek
That meanders and turns
To locations unknown
Revealing those gems
Which show you have grown

So follow the symphony,
Every movement and measure
Relax with each rest
For it brings lasting pleasure

Lavish trophies and treasures
Don't prove you are wealthy
Eyes to the heavens
Be grateful you're healthy
Trillions can't purchase
Ten fingers, ten toes
Angelic smiles
Only daughters disclose

Selflessly offer
Umbrellas for shelter
Long sleeves for comfort
When temperatures are bitter
Hold doors for strangers
And those ones you adore
Kind, minute gestures
Give this life so much more

Your sun is now setting
Final shadows are cast
Tears won't stop flowing
Flags flown at half mast
But all will rejoice
As you lie down to rest
Having spent every second
Living life to its best

Take nothing for granted
Every snowflake must melt
Time always retrieves
The cards you were dealt
Heart fully flushed
Fulfilled all your dreams
Combination cracked
Locks burst at the seams

Completed your symphony,
Through basses and trebles
Built a sound mountain
From all of these pebbles

Uplifting Poem About Living A Better Life

This is a daily reminder
To relax,
To not get angry over small things,
To stay calm.

This is a daily reminder
To relax,
To not get angry over small things,
To stay calm.

This is a daily reminder
To be yourself,
To not care what people think,
To know you can be anything.

This is a daily reminder
To love yourself,
To not hurt yourself,
To not work yourself up.

This is a daily reminder
That you are beautiful,
That you are amazing,
That you will succeed.

This is a daily reminder
To always have hope,
To have faith,
To know everything will be okay.

This is a daily reminder
That you have made it so far already,
That you haven't given up,
That whatever you're doing is right,
And that you are going to be amazing.

Don't give up.
Keep holding on and believing.

Time Goes By
- By Crystal Lewis
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2015 with permission of the Author.
I wrote this poem as I considered how often it is that we go through life assuming and judging others, while we do not fully understand their actions. At the time I wrote this poem there was a lot of distress in my family, and I realized that so often we become disconnected, angry, and hurt that it impacts our relationships. The poem speaks of forgiveness and understanding that we only have individuals in our lives for a certain amount of time and that it is better to heal rather than to blame.

Living With Strength And Love

in Inspirational Poems

Time goes by and slips away
Just as the sky turns from blue to grey.
We are here but only for a short stay.
Don't let life pass with words you never say.

Time goes by and slips away
Just as the sky turns from blue to grey.
We are here but only for a short stay.
Don't let life pass with words you never say.

Don't live in anger, with fear and regrets.
Seek forgiveness and lay your pain to rest.
Don't judge too quickly, as you may be wrong.
Instead, choose to live life as an uplifting song.

When tears fall, wipe them away
As they will only last but for a day.
Sometimes we hurt because we care.
Sometimes life seems unfair.

We make mistakes we wish we could change
And wonder how our life could be rearranged.
Second chances last only for so long, reach out to others
As we are all sisters and brothers.

There are angels in heaven that watch us every day.
They look over us as we laugh and play.
Live with joy, and when you lie down at night,
Thank the Lord and release any strife.

Uplifting Poem On Cherishing Every Moment

in Inspirational Poems

Life is crazy
And totally unpredictable...
It's going to push you over,
Kick you while you're down,

Life is crazy
And totally unpredictable...
It's going to push you over,
Kick you while you're down,
And hit you when you try to get back up.
Not everything can beat you.
Things are going to change you,
But you get to choose which ones you let change you.
Listen to your heart,
Follow your dreams,
And let no one tell you what you're capable of.
Push the limits,
Bend the rules,
And enjoy every minute of it.
Laugh at everything.
Live for as long as you can.
Love all,
But trust none.
Believe in yourself,
And never lose faith in others.
Settle for nothing but only the best,
And give 110% in everything you do.
Take risks,
Live on the edge,
Yet stay safe,
And cherish every moment of it.
Life is a gift.
Appreciate all the rewards,
And jump on every opportunity.
Not everyone's going to love you,
But who needs them anyway?
Challenge everything,
And fight for what you believe.
Back down to nothing,
But give in to the little things in life,
After all, that is what makes you.
Forget the unnecessary,
But remember everything.
Bring it with you everywhere you go.
Learn something new,
And appreciate criticism.
Hate nothing,
But dislike what you want.
Never forget where you came from,
And always remember where you are going.
Live life to its fullest,
And have a reason for everything,
Even if it's totally insane.
Find your purpose in life,
And live it!
