Inspirational Poems - Page 6

You were beautiful
before they said, you are beautiful

You were smart
before they admired your smarts

You were funny
before they laughed at your jokes

You were loved
before they spoke those three words

We are only falling stars,
Fleeting sparks that arc
Across the vast forever of time
Through others' nights,
Only to return as dust to our maker.

And the most we can hope,
In our one brief moment,
Is to brighten their night,
Lead them on their way,
Or just perhaps to grant their wish.

I know the screams sound like thunder
I promise we won't go under
I know the heart feels hollow
There will be blessings behind the shadow

I know it's hard to breathe through sorrow
Today blurs into tomorrow
I know the voices seem louder
It seems like this will last forever

Hold on, please, hold on
In the end we grow stronger
We will do this together

We 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

With doubt and dismay you are smitten
You think there's no chance for you, son?
Why, the best books haven't been written
The best race hasn't been run,
The best score hasn't been made yet,
The best song hasn't been sung,
The best tune hasn't been played yet,
Cheer up, for the world is young!

No chance? Why the world is just eager
For things that you ought to create
Its store of true wealth is still meagre
Its needs are incessant and great,
It yearns for more power and beauty
More laughter and love and romance,
More loyalty, labor and duty,
No chance- why there's nothing but chance!

For the best verse hasn't been rhymed yet,
The best house hasn't been planned,
The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet,
The mightiest rivers aren't spanned,
Don't worry and fret, faint hearted,
The chances have just begun,
For the Best jobs haven't been started,
The Best work hasn't been done.
