Poems About Life
“Life is a challenge - meet it
Life is a gift - accept it
Life is a sorrow - overcome it
Life is a tragedy - face it
Life is an opportunity - take it
Life is a promise - complete it
Life is a struggle - fight it
Life is a goal - achieve it
Life is love - love it
Life is a duty - perform it
Life is great - make something good of it
So life is a celebration – eat, pray and do meditation.”
“Life can be hard
Life can be happy
You make your life your own
You lead your life as you make it
Sometimes life is dull
Sometimes you can't live life the way you would like to
Life is full of ups and downs
Life is short
Sometimes life could look bleak
Life is full of mistakes
Life can never be turned back
You only get one chance at life
People can make your life happy
People can make your life sad.”
“Life is about sadness
Life is about happiness
Life is about pain
Life is about loss
Life is about smiling
Life is about crying
Life is about love
Life is about learning from your mistakes
Life is tears
Life is sorrow
I could go on and on and tell you all about life
But I'm not here to sort this out for you
'cuz..
Life is all about you and how you treat it
You criticize it...well, you're actually criticizing yourself
You like it, you hate it..well, its all up to you
Life is you so be careful how you describe it.”
“The life of one is good
The life of one is bad
The life of one is glad
The life of one is sad
The life of one smiles
The life of one cries
The life of one see's the brightness of the sun
The life of one see's the dust rolling of their shoes
The life of one see's the beautiful of the night sky
The life of one see's the horror of darkness in the night
The life of one cares for others
The life of one acts like he don't know you
The life of one see's the birds singing throughout the day
The life of one see's the shallows of the underworld.”
“Life’s a gift for you to send
Life’s a gift for God to end
Life’s a gift now you’re with me
Life’s a gift for all to see
Life’s a gift when love is true
Life’s a gift when times look blue
Life’s a gift a ray of sun
Life’s a gift though your head is held to a gun.”
“Life ain't peaches and cream
Life ain't always calm
Life is tough
Times in life are real rough
Life ain't perfect neither are you
Life won't bring you what you want
Life ain't always tight
Even though things may sometimes feel right
Life brings you a mixture of problems
Right after one problem another one will occur
Because life don't work on your time
You will never shine
Life works on its own time
And at the end life's plan is divine.”
“Take my hand, come closer
Hug me, lean on my shoulder
Trust me, close your eyes,
I’ll dry those tears away
Hush my precious, it’ll be alright
Open your eyes, look into mine
Heartache is just but part of it
Go on, the journey you must take
Leave the pain behind, walk the path
Explore, there is more to life
I am not going anywhere
Always run to me whenever
Count on it, I won’t forsake you,
I’ll be two steps behind you”
Short Poems About Life
“If I can endure for this moment,
whatever is happening to me.
No matter how heavy my heart,
or how dark the moment may be.
Then darkness will fade into morning,
and with this dawn a new day, too.”
“When I was a baby
You would hold me in your arms
I felt the love and tenderness
Keeping me safe from harm.
I would look up into your eyes
And all the love I would see
How did I get so lucky
You were the dad chosen for me.”
“I don't think I ever told you,
how much I appreciate the things you do.
You have been there when I cried,
and always known when I've lied.
You taught me how to read and sing,
and punished me when I did the wrong thing.
You were there to tell me goodnight,
and always knew how to make things all right.”
“I always sought advise from him
all throughout the years.
I depended on his every thought.
And it was always he
who wiped away my tears.
He taught me many things -
'To always speak from the heart'.
He always showed he loved and cared,
It him to always understand.
He never intentionally hurt me,
and for that
he has all my love.
He's the angel -
The angel sent from high above.”
“There is a love down in my soul.
Where faith and trust I do hold.
Love that will stand forever more.
That's what brothers were made for.
Together we've been through a lot.
Caring not what others thought.
We stood tall and held our ground.
Foundation from our father kept us sound.
Now we've grown up and left the nest.
The love we share is still the best.
My brothers I do love you true
My thoughts often travel back to you.”
“Many times in my life I have disappointed you,
and begun to stray.
But you have pointed me in the right direction,
and sent me on my way.
Many times in my life I've needed a helping hand,
and someone to pull me up.
It was you who gave that helping hand,
and always cheered me up.”
“I look back on these years
To see how far I've come and grown,
I take a trip down memory lane,
And what I see has shown ...
That every step I've taken,
You have been there by my side ...
From infancy to adulthood,
We've stood the test of time.”
Famous Poems About Life
“No idle gold -- since this fine sun, my friend,
Is no mean miser, but doth freely spend.
No precious stones -- since these green mornings show,
Without a charge, their pearls where'er I go.
No painted scenes -- since clouds can change their skies
A hundred times a day to please my eyes.
No headstrong wine -- since the spring
Into my eager ears will softly sing.
No surplus clothes -- since every simple beast
Can teach me to be happy with the least.”
“What is this world? thy school, O misery!
Our only lesson is to learn to suffer.”
“LOVE, thou sportive fickle boy,
Source of anguish, child of joy,
Ever wounding ever smiling,
Soothing still, and still beguiling;
What are all thy boasted treasures,
Tender sorrows, transient pleasures?
Anxious hopes, and jealous fears,
LAUGHING HOURS, and MOURNING YEARS.
What is BEAUTY ? but a flow'r,
Blooming, fading in an hour;
Deck'd with brightest tints at morn,
At twilight with'ring on a thorn;
Like the gentle Rose of spring,
Chill'd by ev'ry zephyr's wing,
Ah! how soon its colour flies,
Blushes, trembles, falls, and dies.”
“In the rapture of life and of living,
I lift up my head and rejoice,
And I thank the great Giver for giving
The soul of my gladness a voice.
In the glow of the glorious weather,
In the sweet-scented, sensuous air,
My burdens seem light as a feather –
They are nothing to bear.
Come out of the world – come above it –
Up over its crosses and graves,
Though the green earth is fair and I love it,
We must love it as masters, not slaves.
Come up where the dust never rises –
But only the perfume of flowers –
And your life shall be glad with surprises
Of beautiful hours.”
“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 occurrence;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.”
Inspirational Poems About Life
“When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.”
“Often your tasks will be many,
And more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.
But always remember,
The hills ahead
Are never as steep as they seem,
And with Faith in your heart
Start upward
And climb 'til you reach your dream.
For nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it,
And you have the faith to believe.
For faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill,
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in God's wisdom and will.
For faith is a mover of mountains,
There's nothing that God cannot do,
So, start out today with faith in your heart,
And climb 'til your dream comes true!”
“Everyone wants success, and yet they often
don't know when they have it.
For most, it is the maddening chase toward a better
way of life or more of something.
More fame, power, recognition, money, or material stuff. For some, it is the understanding of a loving partner, the love of their child, or the people that they can count on when life throws them a curve.
I am coming to believe that success is not more material wealth, but peace, happiness, contentment, and love.
Most of all love.
Real success is not to be sought after in the outer world, but discovered in your inner world. I am not condemning the stuff of life. We all need some of the things that life offers.
But we don't need as much as we think we do.
Sooner or later you will discover that real success is friends, strangers,
and anyone who crosses our path.
It is kindness shared, support given and received, listening,
giving, and caring.
These will endure while your car rusts, your toys break, and you tire of the temporary gratifications that bring you what you think is real.
What matters is people.
What lasts is love.
What counts are true friends, and if you treasure these
you can count yourself a success.”
“One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey.
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what's true,
One life can make a difference,
You see, it's up to you!”
“Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to predict failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.”
