1. Just Wait For The Sun

Poem About Better Days Will Come

in Hope Poems

When everything's darkness
And you feel so alone,
When the rain doesn't stop
And you can't make it home,

When everything's darkness
And you feel so alone,
When the rain doesn't stop
And you can't make it home,
When it feels all is lost
And you just want to run,
It can't rain forever.
Just wait for the sun.

When family is pain,
When friends can't be found,
When you just want to scream
But you can't find the sound,
When it's all your fault,
And you feel like you're done,
Just wait for the sun.
The sunshine will come.

The storm always passes.
It won't last forever.
The rain always stops and gives way to good weather.
The brightest and warmest of days still to come.
Please wait for the sun.
The sunshine will come.

People who need you,
People who still love you
Can warm up your soul like the sunshine above you.
You're never alone,
No matter what's done.
Wait for the sun.
Just wait for the sun.

Dark clouds always pass.
I promise you, hun.
We're all waiting with you.
Just wait for the sun.

The Trials Of Life

in Courage Poems

It's only through mistakes we make
We learn where we went wrong.
It's only when we're far from home
We realize where we belong.

It's only through mistakes we make
We learn where we went wrong.
It's only when we're far from home
We realize where we belong.

It's only when we close our eyes
Our dreams seem clear and bright.
It's only in our darkest hours
We truly see the light.

It's only when we lose our way
We pray to the stars above.
It's only through times of grief
We learn the true meaning of love.

It's only when all hope seems lost
And our weary journey seems so far,
When all the world's against you,
We learn how strong we really are.

All things are sent to try us.
We must strive and give our best.
I believe God is watching over us,
And he guides us in our quest.

3. Possibilities

Motivation About Making Attempts

in Life Lesson Poems

We never know if we're right
If we're not willing to be wrong.
We never know how far we'd go
If we never fight hard and long.

We never know if we're right
If we're not willing to be wrong.
We never know how far we'd go
If we never fight hard and long.

No one can learn to walk
When they are not inclined to crawl.
If we want something to stand,
We have to risk letting it fall.

Many are prospects for success
That quietly pass us by
Merely because we're no longer willing
To step out and give it a try.

There are opportunities to fly
We miss sheltered in our cocoon.
Many are chances for a win,
We miss because we quit too soon.

Life stows hard realities.
Mistakes at times, we're bound to make.
But it's also full of possibilities;
It's up to us how much we take.

4. Start Fresh
- By Ruchi Katendra

Forgetting The Past And Starting Over

in Inspirational Poems

I wanna start fresh...

and forget this place, the wicked world I live in,
but not forget how glorious and essential it was to me.

I wanna start fresh...

and forget this place, the wicked world I live in,
but not forget how glorious and essential it was to me.

Forget the memories that make me weak and sad,
but not forget the memories that are an anchor to my strength.

Forget the people who caused me pain,
but not forget those who were with me in heavy rain.

Forget my past, mistakes, and regrets,
but not forget the lessons I learned from them.

Forget the days when I cried silently, not aloud,
but not forget the same days that make me strong.

Forget the old me, find myself and explore,
and emerge and shine as never before.

This is why
I wanna start fresh.

5. Just Want A Happy Life
- By Sadwick

Conquering Negativity In Life

in Inspirational Poems

I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?

I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?

Surrounded by poverty,
The cravings of obesity,
Those dreams of reality.
Why can't they just see
I want to be all I can be?

I try to live with simplicity,
But I get hit with hostility.
People keep telling me
You won't live happily.

Forget all this negativity.
I'm going against normality,
Living a life of morality
In a world full of brutality.

Spitting out blasphemy,
Using profanity.
Why not be in harmony?
Treat strangers like family.

Going to love unconditionally,
I know my personality.
Don't need this scrutiny.
I know who I will be,
Just watch and see.

6. Just Us Two
- By Amy O Connor
- Published: January 2021
in Passionate Love Poems

Pull away the world
so that it is just us two.
Silence the chaos
inside and outside our heads.

Pull away the world
so that it is just us two.
Silence the chaos
inside and outside our heads.
Let us follow the purity
of our foolish hearts
if only for right now.
Search my eyes
for who we used to be.
And when you find us,
kiss my lips so hard
that I believe
the poetry is real again.

7. Mighty Oak
- By Daniel Baker
- Published: April 2020
Standing Strong In The Midst Of Trials

in Inspirational Poems

If the mighty oak could speak the words
Of the times that it's been tried,
It'd speak about growing roots
Instead of how it died.

If the mighty oak could speak the words
Of the times that it's been tried,
It'd speak about growing roots
Instead of how it died.

It'd say that it was strong enough
And stood the test of time.
Instead of falling to the ground,
It stood and held its line.

It'd speak about lightning strikes
And wind that cracked its core.
Though the dirt had softened,
It stood and took some more.

Though the tree bares scars
Of the times that it's been struck,
All the other trees around
Gazed in pure awestruck.

Its roots dug deep and powerful.
No way it'd hit the ground.
The story of the mighty oak
Is one that is profound.

8. Life Is A Rose
- By Talish

Uplifting Poem About The Ups And Downs Of Life

in Inspirational Poems

Together, we all live different lives,
Whether we are doctors, students, or parents,
That can still make up a continuous field of roses.
A field of roses, shining yellow, red, white and pink,

Together, we all live different lives,
Whether we are doctors, students, or parents,
That can still make up a continuous field of roses.
A field of roses, shining yellow, red, white and pink,
Which subtly grow in the midst of time,
And day by day, their heads successfully rise,
Slowly reaching the clear blue sky.

But sometimes we may experience some terrible times,
That perhaps are caused by downfalls from the past,
Each downfall is like a falling petal.
Petal after petal, a person we once loved,
Whether it was a friend or a parent,
Suddenly leaves our precious hearts,
Which results in a permanent, painful scar.
But as this growing pain slowly enters
And gradually controls every root of our bodies,
We'll discover, in the end, that our shadow still remains.

As our body, our stem still stands alone,
Weak, thirsty, gradually falling into the warm earth's soil.
And just as there were times that put us
In a state of loneliness and despair,
New lives begin to blossom
As the pollen's internal strength paints them gold.

Life, it is not something of fear nor shame,
But something that will continuously fall and rise.
So, let the lives be remarkable, radiant roses,
Roses that sparkle in the fields forever.

9. Life Will Go On
- By Sab

in Courage Poems

when I was little
my life was great
but as I got older me and my mom were becoming farther apart
my mom no longer cares for me ...

when I was little
my life was great
but as I got older me and my mom were becoming farther apart
my mom no longer cares for me
she left me alone
she never wants to talk
or give kisses and hugs
she just don't care anymore
I used to try to take all my anger out on myself by trying to take drugs and drinking
but now I realize that mom don't care and she never will
so I'm trying to become something great
something not like her
I hate the fact that she's not around
but I have learned to deal with it
if she doesn't want to be with me
why should I want to be with her
I have learned that even if you love someone they might not feel the same about you
even if it is your daughter
I have learned to deal with life as it comes deal with it the best you can and don't let other people control your life

life will go on as long as you let it
