Inspirational poem, The Invitation, poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer 

The invitation  

By Oriah Mountain Dreamer   

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. 

I want to know what you ache for 

and if you dare to dream 

of meeting your heart's longing.  

It doesn't interest me how old you are. 

I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool 

for love for your dream 

for the adventure of being alive. 

 It doesnt interest me what planets are squaring your moon... 

I want to know if you have touched the centre 

of your own sorrow 

if you have been opened by life's betrayals

 or have become shrivelled 

and closed from fear of further pain. 

 I want to know if you can sit with pain mine 

or your own without moving 

to hide it or fade it or fix it.  

I want to know if you can be 

with joy mine or your own if you can dance

 with wildness and let the ecstasy 

fill you to the tips of your fingers 

and toes without cautioning us 

to be careful to be realistic 

to remember the limitations of being human.  

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. 

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. 

If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. 

If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. 

 I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. 

And if you can source your own life from its presence.  

I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine 

and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes." 

 It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. 

I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.  It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.  It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.  I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Win Or Lose, motivational poem  

Win or lose 

Whether you win or lose the game 

Don’t be too proud nor hide in shame 

Someone must lose 

omeone must win 

For game results are all the same 

When you happen to have the luck 

Befriend your foe and do not mock 

With hurting words please do not stab 

For you’ll cause pain inside his heart 

And when defeat becomes your fate 

Hold your tongue and never hate 

Smile pleasantly and merely wait 

For luck will come some other date

The Time Is Now, inspirational poem by Bettina Van Vaerenbergh   

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!

Time Goes By inspirational poem by Crystal Lewis,  

Time Goes By  © 

Crystal Lewis More By Crystal Lewis 

Published: February 2015  

Time goes by and slips away 

Just as the sky turns from blue to grey. 

We are here but only for a short stay. D

Don't let life pass with words you never say.  

Don't live in anger, with fear and regrets. 

Seek forgiveness and lay your pain to rest. 

Don't judge too quickly, as you may be wrong. 

Instead, choose to live life as an uplifting song. 

 When tears fall, wipe them away 

As they will only last but for a day. 

Sometimes we hurt because we care. 

Sometimes life seems unfair.  

We make mistakes we wish we could change 

And wonder how our life could be rearranged. 

Second chances last only for so long, 

reach out to others As we are all sisters and brothers.  

There are angels in heaven that watch us every day. 

They look over us as we laugh and play.

 Live with joy, and when you lie down at night, 

Thank the Lord and release any strife

Inspirational poem, It Takes Courage   

It Takes Courage 

 It takes strength to be firm, 

It takes courage to be gentle. 

It takes strength to conquer, 

It takes courage to surrender. 

It takes strength to be certain, 

It takes courage to have doubt.

 It takes strength to fit in, 

It takes courage to stand out. 

It takes strength to feel a friend’s pain, 

It takes courage to feel your own pain. 

It takes strength to endure abuse, 

It takes courage to stop it. 

It takes strength to stand alone, 

It takes courage to lean on another. 

It takes strength to love, 

It takes courage to be loved. 

It takes strength to survive, 

It takes courage to live.   T

You can do anything, an inspirational poem by Sanjan Goel  

You can do anything  

There’s a mountain before you 

One you feel you can never climb 

The distance is frightening, 

but I know you can make it to the other side 

If only you try  

I’ve seen the strength that you carry inside 

I’ve seen the will, 

the passion the fight in your eyes 

I’ve witnessed your ambition 

I know you can do it one more time  

You can do anything 

You can be anyone Y

ou can be happy, too 

But first, you must believe in the power of you  

You’re powerful, valuable, 

beautiful and brave 

And I know that you know you can make it through tomorrow 

if you can get through today; 

I will be there for you every step of the way

Inspirational poem, A Creed To Live Poem  A Creed to Live By Nancye Sims 

 Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others,  

It is because we are different that each of us is special.  

Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important,  

Only you know what is best for you.  

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart  

Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.  

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future.  

By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.  

Don’t give up when you still have something to give  

Nothing is really over   until the moment you stop trying.  

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect, 

It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.  

Don’t be afraid to encounter risks,  

It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.  

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find.  

The quickest way to receive love is to give love.  

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly,  

And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.  

Don’t dismiss your Dreams. 

To be without dreams is to be without hope.  

To be without hope is to be without purpose.  

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget where you’ve been,  

But also know where you’re going.  

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored every step of the way.
