Welcome to Motivating Poems

For years we have saved poems, including easy poems to memorize, and quotes, such as friendship quotes, quotes to live by, and, quotes by famous people, quotes and sayings that we found were motivating. We set up this blog to share this poetry with you, we hope you find it motivational and that adds positive inspirational thoughtsto your day! Starting each day by reading positive words can actually help you in having a good day - you see it is our choice - have a good day or a bad one - many times it is our attitude, how we view a situation that determines that! Thanks for visiting, come back again for new poetry.








Featured Poem







Co-operation



Poet: J. Mason Knox







It ain't the guns nor amament,



Nor funds that they can pay,



But the close co-operation,



That makes them win the day.







It ain't the individual,



Nor the army as a whole,



But the everlasting teamwork



of every bloomin' soul.

A Bag of Tools

Poet: R.L Sharpe

Isn't it strange
That princes and kings,
And clowns that caper
In sawdust rings,
And common people
Like you and me
Are builders for eternity?

Each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass,
A book of rules;
And each must make-
Ere life is flown-
A stumbling block
Or a steppingstone.
