41. Keep Your Head Up
Every time I try and sit and try and make a change,
I always try and think of things that I could rearrange.
And when I find the meaning of life and lessons that are taught,
I'll take a look back and realize and tell you exactly what I thought.
Life was never meant to be easy, and everyone has their days,
But if you keep your head to the sky, you will find your way.
I've been through hell and nearly back, and I still have some growing up to do,
But I need to do this for myself and do what I have to do.
Featured Shared StoryI connect with you totally. I think of this and that, try to do and live differently, yet I remain in the circle of life's hostility.

42. Start Fresh
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.Featured Shared StoryVery 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.

43. The Strongest Part Of Me
Even in my darkest moments
I still have that little voice
encouraging me to go on.
To stand up and keep fighting.
To wipe my tears and pull it together.
To never give up.
That quitting is not an option.
That it will be ok no matter what.
Without that voice I would be lost.
I couldn’t make it in this world.
That is the strongest part of me. -
44. Think Pink!
Each month be sure to check your breasts
To ensure there aren't any unwanted guests.
Cancer's next victim I will not be.
Checking yourself is the key.
Lumps and bumps I hope not to find.
Terrible tricks cancer plays on the mind.
A doctor's visit once a year.
Will help to be sure you're in the clear.
The battle with cancer many have lost.
Not checking monthly isn't worth the cost.
October we celebrate those who fought and won,
And searching for a cure is never done.
You could be next if you don't stop and think.
October...breast cancer awareness...yes...I will think pink! -
45. Just Want A Happy Life
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. -
46. Sorry
We are sorry for all that has happened.
It hurt us too,
And together we will mend
Your heart all the way through.
We will help you realize
That you are not alone.
All that you needs is strength, the real prize
And let the true you be shown.
You have not yet noticed how strong you really are.
You could make it too.
With help from us, you could go far.
We can help you make the ultimate breakthrough.
We can help you escape the river of sorrow.
Your heart's been stained with dirt.
We want to help your bloodstream flow.
We understand your heart's been hurt. -
47. Today's Walk
I will walk slowly through this day;
I leave what is not needed behind from yesterday.
I will treasure all the knowledge to move forward.
What I do today will not change or erase the past..
I move on knowing that today I will do differently than before.
If I fail, there will be another tomorrow and a future tomorrow for hope.. -
48. To Be Happy
To be kind,
I must think.
To be selfless,
It's not about me.
To be brave,
I must hold my head high.
To be fearless,
I can't always hide.
To be grateful,
I feel love from within.
To be compatible,
I'm no better than them.
To truly be thankful,
I must have gratitude in mind.
To be determined,
I have to actually try.
To be stress free,
I have to keep self-soothing.
To be energetic,
I got to keep moving.
To love unconditionally,
I need to love myself first.
To be the best me,
I must know my self-worth.Featured Shared StorySo well done. It's an important message and I like your style. Very good job. Self-improvement and introspection can be tough jobs but well worth the effort.

49. Fly!
Open heart and open mind,
On a journey of a lifetime.
Love and respect all,
Get back up when you fall.
Beat your drum like only you can;
You're already part of the band!
Shoulders back, head held high,
Smile on. Ready...set...fly! -
50. Go With Grace
Each morning of this month
When you rise upon your bed,
May it be with renewed grace
To face the day ahead.
May favor and laughter
Be what this new month will bring.
May it give you breakthroughs
And plenty reasons to sing.
May God's peace, like a river
Overflow within your soul.
May His tender, gentle whispers
Always heal and make you whole.
May each passing week
Only make your beauty abound.
May you remain a source of joy
To all you have around.
May the Lord's loving hand
Guide you each and every day.
And may you shine bright for Him
As you go along your way. -
51. Thoughts For Life
We are on this planet for a limited span of time;
Validity of our life's visa can end anytime.
Begin your day with enthusiasm and end with satisfaction;
Work toward achieving your goals and do follow your passion.
Waste not your energy on negativity;
Find your opportunity to be better when faced with difficulty.
Celebrate your honest efforts like you will when you attain success.
Failures shall be there; learn and keep going, nevertheless.
Avail the most of this very present;
Never shall return the passing moment.
The future is surrounded by clouds of uncertainty;
Let hope and faith be your guide till eternity. -
52. Renewed By The Morning Light
I sit upon my front porch stoop
Beneath the morning sun.
Grateful for the moment spent
Away from everyone.
The air is fresh and slightly chilled,
The sky is blue and clear.
The silence that surrounds me now
Is music to my ears.
I love the morning best of all,
It's my most tranquil time,
When the promise of a brand new day
Can ease my troubled mind.
When second chances seem more possible
And the world less cold and dark,
And hope can somehow pierce the walls
Of my sad and aching heart.
When left alone with nature
All the world seems far away
And the woes of life so trivial
When wrapped in her embrace.
But alas the birds awaken
And begin to sing their songs,
And people slowly wander by
And nod as they go on.
The sun has now grown brighter
As it rises in the sky
And in the distance there's a whistle
As a train goes lumbering by.
The world is calling out to me
To jump back in the fray.
To have faith things can get better
And let go of yesterday.
So today I get to start again
By the morning light renewed.
Feeling brave and energized,
There is nothing I can't do.Featured Shared StoryThis poem is absolutely beautiful! I, too, spend as much time as possible outside with Nature! The birds and trees help to start each day, no matter the weather. I do my best thinking,...

53. In The New Year
In this new year,
Let's talk more, chat less.
Let's call more, text less.
Let's meet more, Skype less.
Let's travel more, collect less.
Let's care more, ignore less.
Let's do more, gossip less.
Let's praise more, blame less.
Let's share more, accumulate less.
Let's experience more, fear less.
Let's love more, hate less. -
54. The Time Is Now
We have but a short time
On this earth,
So value your life
For what it's really worth.
Your life has purpose.
God sent you on a mission.
To live, to love, to learn -
Is His commission.
The world needs you.
Believe me, it's true!
Some things need doing
That only you can do.
Character matters;
Be your own person,
Your own original self,
Not someone else's version.
Develop your talents;
They are unique.
Use your time well;
Listen only to positive critique.
Go after your dreams.
Be bold. Be brave.
Swim against the stream;
It's more than okay.
The time is now
To find your passion.
Time waits for no one,
So get into action.
To be free of regret
In your old age,
Never ever forget
To fully live today! -
55. The Ride
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.
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.Featured 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...

56. From The Heaven Up Above
Why can't we sleep forever
And live inside our dreams,
Sheltered from the heartbreak
That life can sometimes bring.
You could live in a world
Bordered only by your mind
And never have to worry
About running out of time.
You could live out all your dreams,
A life of love and laughter.
Your every desire is fulfilled,
You'd live happily ever after.
You could take the stars
From the heavens up above
Then gift them to the one
That shares your feelings of love.
You could gather every rose
For only their eyes to see.
You would never have to question
Will this love forever be. -
57. Game Of Life
Roll the dice,
Play a new game.
Life for you
Will never be the same.
No looking back,
No aspect of time,
You now have
A new mountain to climb.
Your body seems to stop
Whilst the world keeps going.
With no time to think,
Time still keeps flowing.
Going back to the dice
And the game, you will roll
It's time to start a new life
Complete with heart and soul. -
58. Life Is A Rose
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.Featured 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!

59. Don't Give Up
We wait for what we long for.
We long for what we need.
Impatience and anxiety
Give root to errant deed,
Which grows to yield but heartache,
The fruit that poisons trust,
And so to shadow we recede
And hope descends to dust.
But somehow from the ashes
The will to try again
Doth mend the heart
And forge the path
In search of that one friend
Who never will betray us,
Who never will go astray.
But fear still lurks upon the thought
While waiting for that day.
We'll simply stumble once again,
For we know not who to trust,
Thus thoughts becomes an enemy,
But conquer them we must.
For surely there is someone
Whether "Shining Knight" or "Bride."
Then all shall have been worth it,
Our "Last Hope" justified.

60. Recipe For A Life Well-Lived
Start off with faith and trust in God.
Then add courage; you'll need a lot.
Take a few dreams and lots of inspiration;
Mix them with passion and dedication.
Flavor with a spoonful of optimism,
As well as with sufficient vision.
Throw in some rewarding work,
With satisfaction as a perk.
A pint of perseverance is necessary,
While the amount of patience may vary.
Don't forget an ounce of thankfulness,
And a full cup of love and tenderness.
Add a few quality friends to the mix,
And a pinch of adventure, just for kicks.
Also, you need three cups of good thoughts,
Zested with a million smiles or thereabouts.
Joy and laughter are indispensable,
And a tad of hope, to be sensible.
Throw in heaps of understanding,
Because folks can be demanding.
Season with lots and lots of time,
And some deep questions to ponder.
Then pour over a sense of awe,
And lastly add some childlike wonder.
Top off with family and readiness to forgive;
This is the recipe for a life well-lived!
