Inspirational Poems – Poetry That Inspires All of Us!
"Do not stand at my grave and weep..."
Thus begins Mary Frye's beautiful, inspiring (and probably?) tear-jerking poem. And you'll find a link to the rest of Mary's famous poem below.
- As well as links to other
famous poems like Desiderata, The Invitation, If
by Rudyard Kipling, a YouTube video of the Don't Quit Poem and even some inspirational
quotes (somewhere!).
- All you have to do is sit back, relax, enjoy!... That's my kind of self-help!
But first...
Do not stand at my grave
and weep... (Poem)
Famous Inspirational Poems
What they say...
As promised, some of the most famous inspirational poems in the world. Well, the first few lines, anyway, with links to the full version of the poem.
When you read these inspirational words, ask yourself these questions! Are these poems love poems? Are they friendship poems? Are they inspirational family poems? Are they poems about happiness? Passion poems? (Especially ask yourself these questions with the poems by Steve Maraboli) And then ask yourself whether these are poems about all of these things and more?
Whatever you think, do let me know what you think to these poems. Thanks.
Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
The
Invitation It doesn't interest me what
you do for a living.

she is a woman. More from 'Imagine a Woman...'

Okay,
I suppose after those great inspirational poems I should deliver on my promise
of inspirational quotes too. How about these little beauts, then:
"Life
is hard if you live it the easy way
and easy if you live it the hard way. "
--
Joe Pollack
"The problem is not that there are problems.
The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking
that having problems is a
problem."
-- Theodore Rubin

look at life, aren't they. Okay, how bout this, then...
"Listen
to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the
impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me
. . .
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be."
-- Shel Silverstein
