To be still by Sandra Weiss

To Be Still

When chaos reigns, there is misguided freewill.

Separate yourself from the crowd, learn to be still.

Be willing to take the lead, but be able to follow too.

Make an informed decision, and see it through.

Be unbreakable but know how to bend.

Be able to start, be able to end.

There is a way to be strong, at the same time soft.

Find a way to turn it on, but don't forget to turn it off.

Give whenever and whatever you can give,

make it a part of the way you live.

Seek answers for what you want to know.

Throughout your life, continue to grow.

Find your place in the world, wherever it may be.

Never take for granted, your right to be free.

A time may come, and you know it will.

You will be glad that you learned... to be still.

Motivational poem, Sometimes Life Is Hard poem by Kristin  

Sometimes Life Is Hard  © Kristin Published: February 2008 

Sometimes we see things that aren't meant to be seen. 

Sometimes things aren't always as they seem. 

Sometimes we need someone to call our own,

 Especially when we're alone. 

Sometimes people just can't understand 

Why things get out of hand. 

Sometimes life just isn't fair, 

Especially when people just don't care. 

And sometimes it's hard to say, 

Why things have to be this way. 

Sometimes it's all you can do to get by, 

Especially when dreams continue to die. 

Sometimes it's nice to sit in the rain,

Even to just relieve the pain. 

And when we've had a really bad day, 

Sometimes we just need to get away. 

We never know what's wrong without pain. 

Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same.  

And sometimes when people get hurt, 

Even the strongest ones may need comfort.

Don't Look Back, Motivational poem by Judy  

 Don't Look Back 

 © Judy More By Judy Published: December 2012  

Just keep on walking, 

A small voice said. 

Don't dare look back. 

Look straight ahead.  

Yes, so many things Have changed. 

Think they'd stay As you arranged?  

Be strong and brave. 

Calm your fears. 

Keep that chin up. 

Dry your tears.  

Yes, love hurt And broke your heart. 

Keep your head And heart apart.  

Don't cry over What you have had. 

At least you had it. Don't be sad.  

This will be tough, But time will heal. 

Perhaps a new life Will then reveal.  

You are not new To this whole game. 

You gave your best. 

You're not to blame.  

The hardest thing There is to do 

Is love someone Who does not love you.  

So is it worth it? 

What's to gain When you love someone 

Who brings you pain?  

Just walk away And stand up tall.

 Count your blessings, 

One and all!

Inner Strength  

By John P. Read   

It's only through mistakes we make 

We learn where we went wrong. 

It's only when we're far from home

We realize where we belong.  

It's only when we close our eyes 

Our dreams seem clear and bright. 

It's only in our darkest hours 

We truly see the light. 

 It's only when we lose our way 

We pray to the stars above.

 It's only through times of grief

 We learn the true meaning of love.  

It's only when all hope seems lost 

And our weary journey seems so far, 

When all the world's against you, 

We learn how strong we really are. 

 All things are sent to try us. 

We must strive and give our best. 

I believe God is watching over us,

 And he guides us in our quest.

A Psalm of Life

BY HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

What The Heart Of The Young Man Said To The Psalmist.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;

Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,

Is our destined end or way;

But to act, that each to-morrow

Find us farther than to-day.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,

And our hearts, though stout and brave,

Still, like muffled drums, are beating

Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world’s broad field of battle,

In the bivouac of Life,

Be not like dumb, driven cattle!

Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!

Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Act,— act in the living Present!

Heart within, and God o’erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime,

And, departing, leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,

Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,

A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,

Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,

With a heart for any fate;

Still achieving, still pursuing,

Learn to labor and to wait.

Inspirational poem  

Lift Every Voice and Sing BY JAMES WELDON JOHNSON  

Lift every voice and sing    

Till earth and heaven ring, 

Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; 

Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, 

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. 

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, 

Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.   

 Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, 

Let us march on till victory is won.  

Stony the road we trod, 

Bitter the chastening rod, 

Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;    

Yet with a steady beat, 

Have not our weary feet 

Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? 

We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, 

We have come, 

treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, 

Out from the gloomy past,    

Till now we stand at last 

Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.  

God of our weary years,    

God of our silent tears, 

Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; 

Thou who hast by Thy might   

 Led us into the light, 

Keep us forever in the path, we pray. 

Lest our feet stray from the places, 

our God, where we met Thee, 

Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, 

we forget Thee; 

Shadowed beneath Thy hand,    

May we forever stand.    

True to our God, True to our native land.

Help Yourself to Happiness by Helen Steiner Rice 

Everybody, everywhere 

seeks happiness, it's true, 

But finding it and keeping it 

seem difficult to do.  

Difficult because we think 

that happiness is found 

Only in the places where 

wealth and fame abound.  

And so we go on searching 

in palaces of pleasure 

Seeking recognition 

and monetary treasure,  

Unaware that happiness 

is just a state of mind 

Within the reach of everyone 

who takes time to be kind.  

For in making others happy

we will be happy, too. 

or the happiness you give away 

returns to shine on you.
