61. If You Believe
When your mind is set
On a splendid thing you want to do,
There are some who will shrug,
Like you don't have a clue.
When your mind is set
On a splendid thing you want to do,
There are some who will shrug,
Like you don't have a clue.

Be like the willow that bends,
shade that it sends,
peace that it lends.
This is an amazing poem - saying so much in very few words. Things don't always go the way we want, and sometimes we have to adapt and do so cheerfully - a very important lesson. It is also...

Because I know who I am,
I'm at ease and free.
I can't be like others,
And they can't be me.
This poem speaks to me because I used to have a hard time accepting who I am. This is one of the deepest poems I've read yet. But now I've finally accepted who I am. Thanks for the inspiration.
I wanna start fresh...
and forget this place, the wicked world I live in,
but not forget how glorious and essential it was to me.
Very good words have been given to the stronger self-discovered after failures in life. Such attitude is essential to keep moving in today's very competitive life.
Embrace who you are,
And love like a fool.
Try not to judge,
And never be cruel.
I was reflecting today about my desire to feel like a Daddy's girl. Here I am, in my mid-fifties now, and I still want to feel like a cherished daughter. As my own (largely...
A woman is beauty innate,
A symbol of power and strength.
She puts her life at stake.
She's real, she's not fake!
In this new year,
Let's talk more, chat less.
Let's call more, text less.
Let's meet more, Skype less.
Time flies and memories fade.
People change and new friendships are made.
Only the true remain forever at our side.
Eventually the disappointment and pain will subside.
My school does a speech contest every year, and this poem really caught my eye. I'm in 6th grade and definitely doing this for the speech contest. Very inspiring!
Open heart and open mind,
On a journey of a lifetime.
Love and respect all,
Get back up when you fall.
Breathe in the fresh air,
Put your mind at ease.
Let down your hair,
Let it flow in the breeze.
Love this poem, most of us go through our minds taking over in a negative way at some point in life, not just the young, all ages go through our thoughts that play over and over in our minds,...
When times are hard, you might stop for a bit,
But it's not over until the moment you quit.
On a river's bridge, failures are the planks;
Take one step at a time until you reach its banks.
Wake up, beautiful.
Wake up from this tragedy.
Breathe,
Return to reality.
Sometimes you may think you're alone,
And your feelings make you seem like a clone.
Deep down you are whole,
Not an empty bowl.
Life has never been easy for me. I was born into a broken home, and I suffered a lot of things.
Even when those storm winds are blowing,
I'll stand and fight them knowing
I'm not alone,
Not on my own.
This poem is a supportive one and thoughtful too, so it is one that is of benefit to others, who may be going through similar experiences.
Her eyes glowed with such ambition,
And her mouth spoke words of love and kindness.
She took pride in wandering;
She walked to find the places her heart longed for.
I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?
Life's too short to be wasted.
It passes just once, so make the most out of it.
Live life the way you want it to be.
Live it to the fullest, feel free!
Great poem with a feel good tone to it, good work.
Open your heart to happiness.
Let every pore absorb light.
Swim in the joy of the here and now,
And cast off the darkness of night.
I found this very true. I recently had a big hit, and I was surprised how just sitting and talking with my friend brought me some healing.
When into sorrow, my poor soul sinks
When a sound of despair in my heart rings
I'm strongly pushed to do my best
By a voice that says, "There is still hope you dare not rest."
It is must-read poem for people who dream and dare to work for its fulfillment. One would experience all kinds of struggles on this path and have to be very strong, enduring all pain,...
Treat me with love, dignity, respect and compassion
Now as I am healthy, vibrant and alive.
Don't wait to hear that I am sick and dying
To love me the way I was meant to be loved.
Wow! This poem is so beautiful and heart-breaking, to be honest. My mom has cancer, and all she wants is for SOMEONE to be around. Anyone. But I get so caught up with my day to day activities...
