Poetry that Inspires

Post by calonjed »

Have you read a poem that inspired you in some way? Or have you written a poem that was meant to inspire others? Here is a poem I recently read with a positive perspective on life.

Shine

Life is something we all share,
Just like oxygen, in the air.
The way we live it, is up to us,
With a negative or with a plus.

Life is something, we should cherish,
We never know, when we'll perish.
Live each and every single day,
Smell the flowers, stop and play.

Life is something, we've been blessed,
Choice is yours, choose your quest.
Follow your passions, and you'll be fine,
With the right attitude, you will shine.

I love inspirational poetry - the music and great lyrics (poems) of Bob Dylan certainly inspired me.

I like the poem by the way - keep at it and inspire others!
