Your Problems Poet: Kate Summers, ©2017 There are times in our lives When we are filled with strife When the world seems against us And we feel anything but blessed. But when we stop and look Or when we read about others in a book We soon come to realize That our problems can paralyze. Problems can stop us from seeing the good We look at the world and feel so misunderstood. We need to back up and think about a solution and the link. We need to focus our thoughts and energy on a solution we can implement before the next dawn. Taking action and doing something Is always better than just feeling the sting. So don't let your problems stop you Don't let your problems make you feel blue Get up and get going You will soon find your smile showing through!  Stand Firm Poet: Catherine Pulsifer ©2017 If you quit today you will never win Don't be discouraged try again Don't let your obstacles bring you down Stand firm, persist and hold your ground. Perseverance is the key, it's true Don't give up whatever you do Believe in yourself you will not fail You will find your dreams soon set sail. Have confidence and you will see Be the best you can be Your attitude, is your state of mind Being positive makes life so much more kind.  Believe In Yourself Poet: Edgar A. Guest Believe in yourself! Believe you were made To do any task without calling for aid. Believe, without growing too scornfully proud, That you, as the greatest and least are endowed. A mind to do thinking, two hands and two eyes Are all the equipment God gives to the wise. Believe in yourself! You are divinely designed And perfectly made for the work of mankind. This truth you must cling to through danger and pain; The heights others have reached you can also attain. Believe to the very last hour, for it is true, That whatever you will, you've been gifted to do. Believe in yourself and step out unafraid. By misgivings and doubt be not easily swayed. You've the right to succeed; the precision of skill Which betokens the great you can earn if you will! The wisdom of the ages is yours if you'll read. But you've got to believe in yourself to succeed  Don't Find Fault Poet: John Murray Pray don't find fault with the man who limps Or stumbles along the road, Unless you have worn the shoes he wears Or struggled beneath his load. There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt, Though hidden from view; Or the burden he bears, placed on your back Might cause you to stumble, too. Don't sneer at the man who's down today, Unless you have felt the blow That caused his fall, or felt the shame That only the fallen know. You may be strong, but still the blows That were his, if dealt to you In the selfsame way at the very selfsame time Might cause you to struggle, too. Don't be hard with the man who sins Or pelt him with words or stones, Unless you are sure, and doubly sure That you have no sins of your own; For, you know, perhaps, if the tempters voice Should whisper soft to you As it did to him when he went astray, It would cause you to falter, too. It Is Easy Poet: Ella Wheeler Wilcox It is easy to be pleasant When life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is the one who will smile, When everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with years, And the smile that is worth the praises of earth Is the smile that shines through the tears. |
