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.
I found this very true. I recently had a big hit, and I was surprised how just sitting and talking with my friend brought me some healing.

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.
I was touched by this poem because it reminded me of my relationship with my son. He was adopted and loved so very much. I was with him every day. He had his struggles growing up, but I did...

Look not back on yesterday
or what you have left behind.
For only today is yours to claim,
and this moment only is your time.
Very easy read. Very good content. Advice I agree with. It can be hard for me to leave yesterday behind, but I can't relive it. So, I access it for what I did well and wrong. I try to learn...
A woman is beauty innate,
A symbol of power and strength.
She puts her life at stake.
She's real, she's not fake!
When your mind is set
On a splendid thing you want to do,
There are some who will shrug,
Like you don't have a clue.
Sometimes you may think you're alone,
And your feelings make you seem like a clone.
Deep down you are whole,
Not an empty bowl.
Life has never been easy for me. I was born into a broken home, and I suffered a lot of things.
Believe in yourself and you can achieve
Things you never thought possible.
Believe in yourself and you can discover
New talents hidden inside of you.
Believe is my favorite word from the Bible. Thank you for this. It reminded me today of people and equality. Remember next time you get down on your luck that each of us are equally as...

Never stop caring about the little things in life.
Never stop dreaming, and don't give into strife.
Never stop wondering are we on our own.
Never stop thinking has your spirituality grown.
Well, it's true. No matter how tough life has been and may seem, the best thing to do is to keep moving forward, even when it hurts with the assurance that you are not alone. God is there,...
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!
Great poem with a feel good tone to it, good work.
I have been told that I will never exceed.
I have been told that I am living in a dream.
I have been pushed to the side by many of my peers.
I have heard of the struggles that were present before me.
This poem hits me right smack in the heart. I feel it in the depts of my soul. You see, I lost my son, my only child coming up on 9 years. He was only 20 years old. And he was such an old...
Be like the willow that bends,
shade that it sends,
peace that it lends.
This is an amazing poem - saying so much in very few words. Things don't always go the way we want, and sometimes we have to adapt and do so cheerfully - a very important lesson. It is also...
Embrace who you are,
And love like a fool.
Try not to judge,
And never be cruel.
I was reflecting today about my desire to feel like a Daddy's girl. Here I am, in my mid-fifties now, and I still want to feel like a cherished daughter. As my own (largely...
When times are hard, you might stop for a bit,
But it's not over until the moment you quit.
On a river's bridge, failures are the planks;
Take one step at a time until you reach its banks.
Very insightful. Self-love can be (and maybe should be) the first love we encounter. Even when we're not perfect.
these hips are big hips
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little
Work what you've got and be proud of it. Someone else probably wishes they had what you've got.

I am not a victim of breast cancer. I am experiencing breast cancer.
I am not dying. I am living.
I am not curing. I am healing and restoring.
I am not fearing. I am loving and trusting.
I am a two time cancer survivor. I had a wonderful doctor. The first time I had a lumpectomy and radiation. The second time was five years later and I had a mastectomy with radiation and...
Life's like a book -- a chapter, a page.
Remembering our youth as fast as we age.
Life is a song; we choose what to sing.
Living is hard; what will it bring?
An inspirational poem, equipped with sunshine as well as black clouds hovering over our head. A poem so appealing to recite again and again! I love the following lines...
* Roots never...
Vagaries of this life can be
Tough and hard to fathom,
And yet have they conquered me?
Look how far I've come.
This is definitely an inspirational poem. Everyone has challenges in life, but how we deal with them is crucial to our own well-being. My favorite stanza was the second!
Life is a carousel, always going forward, never going back.
Existence is a hard thing to keep when you stop trying.
To live a life, you must want to live.
To want to live you must find a way.
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.
Very good words have been given to the stronger self-discovered after failures in life. Such attitude is essential to keep moving in today's very competitive life.
