Overcoming Hard Times Poems - Page 2

  1. 21. Climb Every Mountain

    This poem is about the obstacles we have to overcome following the passing of a loved one or someone who is seriously ill. It is about getting through those terrible times, learning to stand and cope.

    in Courage Poems

    We all have a massive mountain to climb,
    Especially those who've lost someone dear.
    But climb that big mountain, we surely must,
    If we are going to overcome fear.

    Everyone's got a big mountain to climb,
    All those with an incurable illness.
    Each step on that rocky, dangerous climb
    Gets you nearer to an inner stillness.

    Each of us have a big mountain to climb.
    It might well be just a family rift,
    But you must begin to climb that mountain
    Because families are a God given gift.

    Everyone's got their own mountain to climb.
    It could be something you just can't accept,
    But you must sort it out, make it good now,
    Or you'll never take that first tiny step.

    We all have a great big mountain to climb.
    We walk the same path that our fathers trod,
    But when you've ascended and reached the top,
    Then surely, you will be nearer to your God.

  2. 22. Trouble

    • By Tanya M. DeVeer
    •  Published by Family Friend Poems August 2006

    A poem about getting through the hard times.

    in Poems about Life Struggles

    Troubled times are here, as we knew they would come
    Not because of the situation, just because life in general is not always fun
    But we can overcome them, together we must
    Because the love that we have shared was surely built with trust
    Times are daring in any family it seems
    Rocking the boat to fulfill our dreams
    We can build the obstacles but must remember to knock them down
    For if we don't there will surely be trouble by leaps and bounds
    I think along the way somehow we forgot to knock down
    The obstacles that are tearing at our hearts and apparent trouble that abounds
    Let's take the time to clear the obstacles and go back to loving each other
    We're here to listen to your choices, let's stop hurting one another
    Right or wrong it's always God's call
    We must remember, it is us who will ultimately take the fall
    So in my heart I do not think it is worth it just to be right
    Life is too short not to say we love you and we won't give up without a fight

  4. 23. On Adversity

    Adversity is part of our lives. There is no one who has never faced a hardship in life. This poem attempts to show the lessons adversity has to offer.

    in Poems about Life Struggles

    Adversity brings out the best in you
    It often helps to find something new -

    A hidden talent or clears a doubt
    Or you understand what life's about

    Adversity nourishes you to become strong
    It helps to reach where you truly belong

    Adversity makes you tough and wise
    It shows where your strength lies

    Adversity is nothing but a stepping stone
    To a path that seems rugged and unknown

    But if you let courage be your guide,
    And can take things on your stride,

    Don't get dejected and continue to fight.
    In the end, you'll see hope and light.

  5. 24. Time To Stop Struggling

    • By Tanya
    •  Published by Family Friend Poems July 2008

    A poem about continuing to struggle through the most difficult of times. A poem about letting go and letting God.

    in Courage Poems

    Life is unfair; sometimes the misery we can't bear.
    This was a feeling I could never share.
    I am strong, strong enough to move on from this pain.
    I won't feel the shame; my life is not a game.
    Tired of these tears and my fears,
    I will cherish my inspirations.
    I will find my dream, I promise; that's what I will achieve.
    I will find a way to leave. 
    I'm not who you will deceive.
    I believe in miracles; these people laugh like it's hysterical.
    I won't fall; I may be lost, but I will be found.
    One day I will find the perfect life; life will run beautifully,
    I will fly like a butterfly through the night, will have a pleasant sight.
    Afraid but I will fight.
    No boundaries, free my mind of all the pressure.
    Leaving here will be my pleasure.
    I want so much to be free; so much I want to see.
    I want to reach the sky; I want so badly to fly.
    See, I used to be a fool when I let you treat me cruel.
    I made a mistake, but I won't let myself break.
    Leave me, for God's sake.
    So now I kneel down to pray.
    For these times of struggle I will just say,
    I'll leave in your hands, God. I will let go.

  7. 25. Finding A Will When Wanting To Quit

    Life is so hard, and living it is too. I have been through a lot in my young lifetime. I just want a change for people and the world. We all need to make the world a better place.

    in Courage Poems

    Times will get rough and sometimes tough,
    Where you may say that you have had enough,
    Where you may fall and need a lift,
    Where the hurt of your pains may leave you stiff.
    When all things may seem to go wrong,
    Just pick up some faith and carry on,
    Because you may never know how close you've come to be,
    To reach the throne of victory.
    There has been some time that passed,
    That many thought they could not last.
    But with a mighty blow they've come to see,
    That they had made history.
    When you may feel that there is nothing that you can do,
    Here is something you can refer to.
    As some people say, "Where there is a will, there's a way."
    With this being said, I feel a brighter day,
    One without hurt, one without sorrow,
    One with a brighter tomorrow.
    So, in the fight, you may get knocked down,
    But get back up without a frown,
    Because it's when you're hardest hit
    That you must say that you will not quit.
    So push on harder and hear me when I say,
    "Where there's a will, there's a way."

  8. 26. The Interloper

    I wrote this poem on behalf of my husband when we discovered he had cancer.

    in Cancer Poems

    You came in uninvited
    and decided to stay.
    I am going to poison you,
    make you go away.

    I have a lovely family
    and a loving wife.
    You've upset both my children,
    caused a load of strife.

    I don't want you in my life.

    We'll search you out for certain,
    find out where you dwell.
    Then we'll try to burn you out,
    may you roast in hell.

    Vile and evil cancer,
    please just go away.
    You have become a part of me,
    but I don't wish you to stay.

    I don't want you in my life.
