Inspirational Poems from

 
Know 
by Claire Kire

Know that more is possible than you think if you really want and believe. 
Know that your eyes can never see as clearly as your heart 
Know that wisdom is in hearing and believing your own voice 
Know that giving is never losing and that giving freely is the semicircle that completes itself in receiving 
Know that to want nothing is as selfish as to give nothing 
Know that sharing cannot be true unless you keep enough for yourself 
Know that no one can live your pain or joy 
Know that sharing both is to recognize and value yourself and the other 
Know that no one can tell you who you are and that friends can only stand by while you make your discoveries 
Know that help doesn't always appear in the way you may expect or demand 
Know that what you think you want may be inferior to what you receive 
Know that second best may really be second-arrived 
Know that no matter who walks with you no one can walk your journey for you 
Know that often you may feel you are walking alone 
Know aloneness is a bounty from which you  may choose what you want 
Know that you are never alone when you know who you are 
 

The World We Make
by Alfred Grant Walton

We make the world in which we live 
By what we gather and what we give,
By our daily deeds and the things we say,
By what we keep or we cast away.

We make our world by the beauty we see
In a skylark's song or a lilac tree,
In a butterfly's wing, in the pale moon's rise,
And the wonder that lingers in midnight skies.

We make our world by the life we lead,
By the friends we have, by the books we read,
By the pity we show in the hour of care,
By the loads we lift and the love we share.

We make the world by the goals we pursue,
By the heights we seek and the higher view,
By the hopes and dreams that reach the sun
And a will to fight till the heights are won.
What is the place in which we dwell,
A hut or a palace, a heaven or hell.
We gather and scatter, we take and we give,
We make our world - and there we live.
