Question

Please provide me some motivational poems ( At least 5 )

Answer 1

1.Why Not You? 
Poet: Julie Hebert, 
Growing up we are told many things,
One being, you can do anything.
But somewhere between child and adult,
Things change and we no longer sing.

Life takes on a whole different meaning,
From what we may have first believed.
We all get so caught up in what life expects,
And forget what we all could achieve.

Whoever told you, you weren't allow,
To follow all of your dreams?
Was it someone who took away your dream,
Or was it you who was afraid of your schemes.

Whatever the reason, I now must ask,
Why not you, don't you think
It's time for you to take control of your life,
So you'll be happy to look back with no regret.

2.Things Work Out 
Poet: Edgar A. Guest 

Because it rains when we wish it wouldn't, 
Because men do what they often shouldn't, 
Because crops fail, and plans go wrong- 
Some of us grumble all day long. 
But somehow, in spite of the care and doubt, 
It seems at last that things work out. 

Because we lose where we hoped to gain, 
Because we suffer a little pain, 
Because we must work when we'd like to play- 
Some of us whimper along life's way. 
But somehow, as day always follows the night, 
Most of our troubles work out all right. 

Because we cannot forever smile, 
Because we must trudge in the dust awhile, 
Because we think that the way is long- 
Some of us whimper that life's all wrong. 
But somehow we live and our sky grows bright, 
And everything seems to work out all right. 

So bend to your trouble and meet your care, 
For the clouds must break, and the sky grow fair. 
Let the rain come down, as it must and will, 
But keep on working and hoping still. 
For in spite of the grumblers who stand about, 
Somehow, it seems, all things work out. 

3.Don't Give It Up 
Poet: Z. Vujcic, © 2007 

Today life gave you another slap
but don't give it up
throwing your towel in the ring
for things gone wrong, for words that sting
'cos there must be another way
you will see it in the light of another day
When everything seems sour, not in your favour
look around until you find better flavour
so, don't just give but live it up
pick up the pieces, be tough
grind your teeth and turn another cheek
don't give it up, that's exactly what they seek
It's too easy to walk away
quitter never wins so you should better stay
look challenges straight in the eye
don't say yet the last good-bye
fight like an animal in a trap
but don't give it up 


4.As You Grew


Last week, our daughter, Julie moved into her own apartment. We wrote the poem, As You Grew, and we dedicate it to her. No matter where you are in life, may the as you leave, be our wish for you!

As You Grew 
By Catherine Pulsifer, and Byron Pulsifer 

As you grew, no matter what happened we looked at the sunny side of life. 
As you leave, take with you the wisdom to focus on the "good" in life! 

As you grew, we helped you avoid unnecessary worry. 
As you leave, remember that 90% of what you worry about never happens. 

As you grew, we encouraged you to be open and direct.
As you leave, never lose your honesty with those whom you speak. 

As you grew, we helped you find solutions. 
As you leave, always remember there is a solution to every problem. 

As you grew, we encouraged individual thought and action. 
As you leave, continue to be independent and persevere when faced with life's challenges. 

As you grew, we reinforced the value of family & friends. 
As you leave, always make time for family and friends. 

As you grew, we shared many happy times. 
As you leave, always take time to laugh every day. 

As you grew, we taught you values, right from wrong. 
As you leave, always stay true to your own values, don't be influenced by others. 

As you grew, we taught you to set goals and take action. 
As you leave, may all your dreams turn into goals. 

As you grew, we emphasized money is not happiness. 
As you leave, always cherish the simple things in life! 

As you grew, we encouraged you to live each day, 
As you leave, take with you the thought that 
each day you are given is a "present"!

5. How Do You think
By Anonymous


If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't!
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind!

If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you'll ever win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the person who thinks he can!
