81. Mighty Oak
Standing Strong In The Midst Of TrialsIf 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. -
82. Daily Reminder That You Are Worthy
And on Tuesdays you must look at
yourself in the mirror and say
“I am worthy. I need to be here.
And I am grateful I am.
There is beauty in my life and
I will find it. There is strength
in my soul and I will trust it.
There is purpose in my path and
I will unravel it. There is magic
in who I am and I will
believe in it.”
And then go climb your mountains
for today. And go find some
spectacular views.

83. Yes, Human. Yes, Love
Living Your Best LifeIn the face of many troubles,
Side by side we will stand.
It's not as though we crumble.
Instead, we gain to understand.
Learning life we see perspectives,
Others different and some the same.
We act in the moment to be reactive.
Emotions are wild or tame.
Love and hate we fight against.
Life and death we struggle with.
Gluttony and hunger we rage against.
War and peace we struggle with.
To be human is to struggle,
Finding love in the depression.
We are that individual
Striving for moral right or religion.
Act without reward or praise.
Do your best no matter the circumstance.
Go the extra mile without a raise.
Give your brother a second chance.
In doing this, you show love.
To love is what is valued among all,
So next time you look above,
Remember we sometimes fall.
Be encouraged in your weaknesses.
Some flaws are others strengths,
So let us give ourselves forgiveness,
For love has no length. -
84. We Rise
we crawl
we walk
we run
we fly
we fall
we break
we rage
we cry
we learn
we heal
we dream
we rise

85. Life Is A Rose
Uplifting Poem About The Ups And Downs Of LifeTogether, 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.Latest Shared StoryI will recite your poem at an upcoming event because this is well written, visual, and relates to everyone. I will be crediting you as well. Keep writing!

86. This Is Your Time
This is your time
to no longer be who you were,
to rise from the embers,
to be guided by Her.
This is your time
to be carried by Grace,
out of the matrix
and away from the race.
This is your time
to forever change the rest,
to untame, to shift, to lead,
and live blessed.

87. Stronger Than You
Stronger Than DepressionThere you are, sneaking upon me!
From the corner of my eye, you make no sound, but I can see!
I ignore you're there, but you grow each day.
I fear if I acknowledge you, you will never go away.
I've seen the power you have over other people's lives,
I have seen their struggles and them strive
To keep you in check, to keep you at bay.
I've seen them give in and allow you to stay.
The confusion, the havoc you have played,
I have seen the pain and the price they've paid.
Swallowing them whole without a thought,
Like the helpless fish in the net when caught.
They squirm and wriggle to break free.
Yes, I see you there, but you won't take me.
I will not allow your darkness to consume,
I will not allow the cloud to linger and to loom.
I will fight you every day and every night,
Push away the dark, I will stay in the light.
I see you there waiting to pounce,
I will stand strong against your call, I will stand strong and denounce!
For all the sad, pain, and tears you feed upon,
Your call to me will forever be long.
As I have seen too many leave,
I know better, I believe...
In mind over matter, however dark the day,
Life is a better place when you're told to go away!
So move on and take your darkness too.
I am now stronger, Depression; I'm stronger than you! -
88. You Are Enough
You are enough
You have always been enough, and
You will forever be
Enough
no matter what you see
how you feel, or the lies you may
believe

89. Today I Am Afraid
Overcoming Fear Of The UnknownToday I felt lost.
I couldn't find Your hand.
I felt so alone,
I just don't understand.
Today I am afraid,
For tomorrow's troubles may bring
More pain than today.
I may not last; I'll continue to pray.
Why do I worry about tomorrow?
Today brings enough fear;
For today was the tomorrow
That seemed all too near.
Today I am afraid,
For tomorrow's troubles may bring
More pain than today
I may not last; I'll continue to pray.
I'll never forget about the past.
My pain will never let me.
Tomorrow is how long it will last.
By then I may be free. -
90. The Ride
Accepting Life As A JourneyI don't know where this ride is taking me.
I don't know when to let go.
All I know is I'm in it for the journey
To give me more and more.
I chase dreams I don't yet know.
I try to be something I don't even know.
I look for things I cannot find.
I believe more in my heart than my mind.
I play for things that cannot be won,
I learn to fly before I run.
I make fire on what can't be burned.
I teach things that cannot be learned.
I don't know where this ride is taking me.
I don't know when to let go.
All I know is I'm in it for the journey
To give me more and more.Latest Shared StoryHonestly, this poem was pretty amazing. I loved all you had to say, honestly. It was short and cut to the chase. Things you already know, but no one dares to say. "I believe in my heart more...

91. If You Think
Always Move Forward With A Positive AttitudeIf you think you can reach the sky,
Why don't you flap your wings to fly?
Always give strength to your mind and soul.
One day you're gonna kick your goal.
You know you can; don't focus on others taunts.
The day will come for them to realize their faults.
If you can win and keep rest beside,
Don't let others for your future decide.
Work hard, work smart, and take the lead.
Leave the fellows behind and you'll succeed;
Never spell, "I can't." Control your pain,
The sun will rise and reward you with gain.
Many more things are there to say.
Always move forward; there is a way.
Never lose hope; move on with a positive attitude.
The day will come to fill you with lots of gratitude.
If you think you can reach the sky,
Why don't you flap your wings to fly? -
92. Strength Comes In So Many Forms
Strength comes
In so many forms.
In giving people
Second chances,
In giving up
Painful habits.
In giving ourselves
And others
Life-changing love.
In giving energy
To fight for
The things that matter.
Strength comes
in so many forms.

93. America The Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine ev’ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev’ry gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea. -
94. Jump 1.0
Poem About Taking A ChanceDo you think you stand a chance
Diving off into the abyss?
Do you think that you'll advance
Even without an assist?
Will you learn to find you wings
And travel to the paradise that life brings?
Triumphant in your success,
You can finally rest,
Assured that your future is bright
And you did your best
To see that your seeds take flight.
So why be in fright?
You're already in a slump.
Why don't you take a chance
...and just jump? -
95. I Hear America Singing
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,
The wood-cutter's song, the ploughboy's on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day - at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs. -
96. Even When
Poem Giving Hope To Those Feeling DownEven when those storm winds are blowing,
I'll stand and fight them knowing
I'm not alone,
Not on my own.
Even when there's hatred brewing,
I know what I'll be doing;
I'll laugh and smile,
Send it away awhile.
Even when there's a huge earthquake,
I'll stand tall and I won't shake;
Let the pain go,
Let my joy show.
Even when there's a strong hurricane,
I'll wade unbending through the pain;
Help those who've fallen,
Welcome those who're calling.
Even when someone's been deserted,
I know they didn't deserve it;
Become their friend,
It's not the end.Latest Shared StoryThis poem is a supportive one and thoughtful too, so it is one that is of benefit to others, who may be going through similar experiences.

98. My Morals Define Me
Empowering Poem About Self-AcceptanceI have never done drugs and never will.
I don't give into peer pressure.
I believe that drugs are lame.
Drugs cause you to make irresponsible decisions.
I'd rather be high on life than high on drugs.
I choose not to harm my body with illegal substances.
I do what I want and if this makes me a loser, then so be it.
I am proud to be a virgin.
I'm not ditzy or dumb.
I don't believe everything I am told.
Abstinence is the key, so I believe.
I am not ready for a child nor disgusting diseases.
My virginity is my sanctuary.
If this makes me a loser, then so be it.
Violence is never the answer.
Physical disputes are pointless and solve nothing.
It is unnecessary and a waste of time.
I shall never stoop down to that level of immaturity.

If this makes me a loser, then so be it.
Being a party girl is not who I am.
Partying is not what life is all about.
Life does not revolve around alcohol, drugs, and music.

I have the rest of my life to party;
For now I choose to focus on my future and career.
If this makes me a loser, then so be it.
I don't need to dress like a hoochie to get attention.
I am classy not trashy.

I choose to have dignity and respect for my body.
I'd rather be liked for who I am than for what I look like.
If this makes me a loser, then so be it.
I am not a follower.
I control my own mind and make my own decisions.
I stand up for what I believe in and defend my opinions.
I'd rather be hated for being myself than liked for someone I am not.
If this makes me a loser, then so be it.
I am unique and one of a kind.
I am who I am
And will never change for anyone.
I will always be me, now and forever.
If this makes me a loser, then maybe I am. -
99. Promises To Keep
Motivation For A New YearWe resolve to turn a new leaf in our lives
Yet go back to whining old ways in no time
Why do we break promises ever so often
When we want a better future than our past or present?
Why do we not care for ourselves
Yet want a story that the world will tell?
But if you want to change your story forever
Inspiration and motivation will have to go together
An inspired heart can move mountains and cut the seas
Don't the stories of these people inspire thee?
Then comes the role of a motivated mind
If left idle it can behave weird many a times
Convince the mind before getting down to work
Else you will have to fight yourself first
But the protagonist of your story has the biggest role to play
If you don't care, then nobody will anyway
So be the change, and script your story your way
Start with fulfilling the promises you made
It is said a journey of thousand miles begins with one step
Likewise, success in future depends on the promises you kept
We have a long way to go and many promises to keep
So treasure every moment and every New Year equally -
100. Take A Bow
Take a bow, lovely one.
Because you’re tired
And still you’re doing it.
You’re feeling empty
And still you’re giving it.
You’re unsure of yourself
And still you’re being it.
You got hit hard
And still you’re healing it.
Funds are low
And still you’re dreaming it.
Life ain’t so easy right now
And still you’re loving it.
The winds are blowing hard
And still you’re walking it.
Yes, take a bow, lovely one.
(You made it to Friday)
Latest Shared StoryI'm convinced that those close to you are grateful to know you and to have you around. This is a very uplifting and motivating piece. I like it. Thanks again.
