Your favorite positive poems

[EmotionalCreature]

Hi ENA, I found a very nice and positive poem and would like to share with you. Also I would love to read your nice, positive, heartfelt poems. Let's share some smiles.

 

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”

[TidalWave]

This one makes me feel happy, hopeful, proud and inspired.

 

You Can If You Think You Can!

 

If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you like to win, but you think you can't,

It is 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 are outclassed, you are,

You've got to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

 

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man.

But soon or late the man who wins,

Is the man who thinks he can.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth.

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same.

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

It starts out a little sad but you'll see.

 

Mirror of the Soul

 

Though Morning is still well asleep

The Goddess wakes and starts to weep

Her tears disturb thee, Mirror deep

As I gaze into thee

 

But wrinkles make it hard to see

And only stars reflect in thee

But somewhere in there needs to be

The hidden side of me

 

I spent a day at Mirror kneeled

But still thou kept my soul concealed

Which without thee cannot be healed

Therefore I start my plea

 

Oh Mirror deep I want for me

To find my true identity

So show me what I cannot see

The girl inside of me

 

For somehow I feel not complete

A stranger to myself indeed

To find my soul is what I need

To be able to be

 

The glinting surface then revealed

What always had been well concealed

And Mirror's words removed the shield

That hid the inner me

 

Oh creature, thou shall not in me

But in thyself find clarity

Turn to thy heart and set it free

Just open up and see

 

A change in me, a changing breeze

A whisper lingers in the trees

The Goddess' tears now find their peace

A new tranquillity

 

As if I woke from hazy dreams

Outside and in me dawn it seems

The sun enlightens with its beams

The answer: I am me

This poem has always been one of my personal favorites!

 

IF

By Rudyard Kipling

 

If you can keep your head when all about you

are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you

but make allowance for their doubting too,

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

or being hated, don't give way to hating,

and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

 

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master,

if you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;

if you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

and treat those two impostors just the same;

if you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

 

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

and lose, and start again at your beginnings

and never breathe a word about your loss;

if you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

to serve your turn long after they are gone,

and so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch,

if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

if all men count with you, but none too much,

if you can fill the unforgiving minute

with sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!

This poem shows such strength and self love that I have to share. It's positive to me.

 

"If You Stopped Loving Me"

 

This heart of mine would surely die

And my body would wither by and by

But my love for you will go on and on.

Yes, it will still be there after I’m gone.

 

You will feel me on the soft gentle breeze

As you wander through the tall forest trees,

I will be on the beach as the tide comes in.

That will remind you how easy my heart was to win.

 

You will go about your work and play

And remember how you loved me one day.

Love is so strong, the heart is weak.

The tears will flow, the eyes will leak.

 

No, I never wanted to go away.

But without your love, I have no reason to stay.

Even if you took your love from me

I would forever in your heart be.

The angels will come and sing you a song,

They will tell you how I’m getting along.

 

They will whisper about my love for you

And let you know my heart is being true.

 

So, if that time should ever come to be

And you say, "I’ll love you again," you will see

The mountains, beaches and meadows will know.

As you shout, "I’m sorry I ever let you go."
