I Have A Dream

Poet: Sam Butler, (c) 2011

I have a dream,

Many that is.

I plan on achieving,

This dream I call bliss.

We all have dreams,

That slip by each day.

The problem is,

We leave them to prey.

If you have a dream,

Protect it with care.

And one day you’ll be ready,

To make it more than a dream and share.

Be kind to others,

Dreams as well.

We all have dreams,

One day we will tell.

They are meant for sharing.  We should help others achieve their desires.  Encourage them to turn their dreams into goals!  Share this motivating poems with someone who is discouraged about not achieving their dreams.

Q's Motivational Poetry: Inspiration for Times of Tribulation

Make Your Happiness

Poet:  Julie Hebert

When you feel,

Life isn’t true.

Keep in mind,

Life’s truth is you.

You make your path,

From here to there.

It's up to you,

To dream and care.

No one else can,

Make you happy.

So get right on it,

And make it snappy.

Life’s too short,

To waste your day.

I truly hope,

You get out and play!

 

 

We hope this poem will bring smiles to you and others. And, we also hope it is one that motivates you to realize that you create your own happiness by how you think, and what you do.  So much in life is affected by our own attitude towards what is happening in our life.  If you see the negative in everything, your life will be one of sadness and discontent.  But if you make the choice to look at life in a positive way by looking for the good in situations you will find happiness.
