helping yourself poem

You can still be kind when… (poem)

You can still be kind when…

You can still be kind when others are not,
Bringing your kindness when they have forgot.
Bringing your gentleness when times are hard,
Helping them to heal when they have been scarred.

You can still be kind when others hold back,
Replacing within them what they now lack.
Replacing their emptiness with new hope,
Helping them to realise they can cope.

You can still be kind when their world turns grey,
Letting them see that your kindness will stay.
Letting them see that life is worth living,
Helping them to find hope in your giving.

You can still be kind when it’s hard to do,
For your kindness will help to see you through.
For your kindness will mend you from within,
Helping you to know your kindness will win.

From the past to tomorrow (poem)

12 Aug

From the past to tomorrow

The treasures that are buried in your past,
Add to the richness found in tomorrow.
Although that time of your life could not last,
The memories are there to borrow.
You can delve into them and rummage round,
For what is in there can help with today.
Where past experiences can be found,
Tomorrow’s footsteps can find their way.

Both the present and the past are in you,
Let the two find their future together.
They will lead you to a glorious view,
Where the soul can wander through the heather.
Where the river of hope flows through the heart,
And your love can rejoice in the sunlight.
Together they will show you where to start,
Along tomorrow’s path, all clear and bright.

Seeking the address of happiness (poem)

15 Jul

Seeking the address of happiness

I woke up this morning determined to find happiness,
Would that be hard to do, for I do not know its address?
Just where do I start? Is there someone that I could ask?
I soon realised that I had set myself quite a task!
I need some directions on even where I should begin,
This could become quite a journey, if I am to win.

I know! Let’s start with yesterday, what can I find there?
Surely in amongst it all, its address must be somewhere.
I can find the odd moments when happiness was around,
But its forwarding address is nowhere to be found.
I could see that there were some with whom happiness has stayed,
But unfortunately, plans to stay with me were never made.

Maybe I need to look back further, times from long ago,
Seek out all those moments when happiness put on a show.
Let those memories run through me, let them bring back a smile,
Those times when I found happiness were always so worthwhile.
They certainly provided clues to help me find a way,
So how can I use them to find happiness’s address today?

Looking back at happiness, I can see now where to start,
For I have realised its address lives within my heart.
It’s from within there that the path to happiness is found,
At that address, many bits of happiness float around.
I could meet a friend, take a walk, or read for an hour or two.
Upon this day of happiness: ‘to thine own self be true’

I have never been normal (poem)

17 Jun

I have never been normal

I have never been normal, there is not much chance of it now,
Yet I’ve managed to find a way of getting through life, somehow.
I have got up every morning ready to play my part,
Generally reaching the end of the day who I was at the start.
Some days will be different, where events will change what I do,
But whatever does happen this day, I still find a way through.

So why am I not normal? What makes me different this day?
I just don’t seem to want to play the game of life the same way.
I don’t have to be faster, or prove to the world I’m the best,
I enjoy doing what I can do, and just forget the rest.
I don’t have to become someone who I don’t like and don’t know,
If I can’t be myself with you, then I will just let it go.

You don’t have to have everything you want for happiness,
Just be yourself and enjoy what you do, can bring peacefulness.
To be able to laugh, to be able to just share a smile,
To spread a little happiness with others makes life worthwhile.
Whoever I am, one thing that my journey through life has shown:
Maybe I am not normal, but in my life peace I have known.

Let the sadness pass through you (poem)

12 May

Let the sadness pass through you

Lost within sadness, feeling withdrawn and forlorn,
The warmth is beyond reach upon this sunny dawn.
There is too much sadness reaching into your heart,
The world around you seems to be falling apart.
The world around you has brought this sadness to you,
And within your world there seems to be no way through.

But this sadness you feel will not linger nor last,
Your world will change and this will fade into your past.
You may not be able to feel anything just now,
But that brighter day will come, for your heart knows how.
Your heart knows that as time passes, your heart will heal,
Even thought just for now, that is not how you feel.

Do not dwell on the sadness you have found here,
The world of sunshine will slowly rise and get near.
The world of sadness will slowly fade and withdraw,
You will find that your life will have meaning once more.
Just let this sadness within drift gently on by,
One day it will pass through you, leaving a clear sky.

Without Hesitation (poem)

27 Aug

Without Hesitation

A busy life, a busy day, so much to do,
Running round in circles, trying to see things through.
The minds in confusion, stretched in every way,
Maybe a sudden stop is what you need today.
Take a sudden respite, take a step or two back,
And see that peace and calm is what your senses lack.
Pull back on the reigns before your life begins to sink,
Call it hesitation, but it gives you time to think.
Without hesitation, all caution could be lost,
Without hesitation, your world could be the cost.

A quiet time, a quiet day, free to be you,
Free to drift around, to choose what you want to do.
The mind can seek out harmony, rest in bliss,
Leave the world far behind, there’s nothing there to miss.
Wallow in peacefulness, recharge and recover,
Look around you and see what you can discover.
Maybe take a glance at the craziness still there,
Then of another’s plight, you may become aware.
Without hesitation, you could stretch out your hand,
Without hesitation, you could help them to stand.

Hope can be found when all else is lost (poem)

13 Aug

Hope can be found when all else is lost

Hope can be found when all else is lost,
For its seeds are found within your heart.
Hope has no price, it comes without cost,
For it’s been in your heart from the start.

Hope can be grown in any climate
Through a raging storm, it will survive
In darkness, hope seeds can germinate,
In emptiness, hope seeds can still thrive.

Hope can be carried throughout hard times,
It places no weight upon your life.
Through your darkness, the bell of hope chimes,
Guiding you through your troubles and strife.

Hope can be shared, you can let it go,
For when released, some hope will remain.
Within your heart, your hope will regrow,
And all that was shared out, you regain.

Hope can be forever, always near,
It never quite fades out of your view.
Just rest, and its strength will reappear,
Just stand up, and let its dreams guide you.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose (poem)

02 Jul

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose,
What comes next is for you to choose.
You could leap up and fly through the sky,
You could sit down and begin to cry.
You could open the door, give a cheer,
Or shut the door and let no one near.

When you are winning, enjoy the day,
Enjoy the changes it brings your way.
Laugh for a while, but let’s not forget,
All of those challenges that you met.
Remember that others must still fight,
Be kind to them, when they are in sight.

When you are losing, it will not last,
That one day this will be in your past.
Life’s ups and down we must all go through,
Just keep on going, seek out the new.
Hold on to your hope, reach out your hand,
Let others help you, once more, to stand.

Whether winning or losing in life,
Whether life’s easy or full of strife,
Kindness and hope are there deep within,
With both of those, let your day begin.
Let them shine through, let them guide your way,
For always, they bring a better day.

Oh no! Where do I go? (poem)

17 Mar

Oh no! Where do I go?

Oh no! Where do I go?
Look right, nothing’s in sight,
Look left, it’s all bereft.
Look high, it’s all just sky,
Look low, nothing below.
It’s clear, there’s nothing here!

What now! Get out somehow?
Where to? nothing’s in view,
Which way? Best not to stray,
Let’s muse, how do I choose?
Just start, follow your heart,
Just be, time to step free.

Let’s go! So much to know,
Learn more, go out the door.
Look far, search for a star,
Walk fast, release the past.
Just run, go have some fun,
Stand still, life can be real.

Look round, A path is found!
New way, a better day.
New light, new hope’s in sight,
Move on, start to feel strong.
Just smile, life is worthwhile,
Be you, your life renew.

Courage within troubled times (poem)

26 Feb

Courage within troubled times

Within the troubles of today, comes the sorrows of tomorrow,
When harmony has lost its way, and there’s no peace you can borrow.
When all around are shedding tears, and forgiveness cannot be found,
All you see is a world of fears, everywhere you look around.

Just look within and you will see, a place where your soul can retreat,
Where you can set your spirit free, to keep you standing on your feet.
Your inner courage can come out, your inner peace can bring you calm,
Your inner hope clear out your doubt, your inner self kept safe from harm.

The outer world’s fallen apart, so within yourself just hold tight,
Within yourself just hear your heart, and let it bring to you some light.
Let it show your courage the ways, you can make changes here and there,
To guide you through these troubled days, to let others know that you care.
