Two Poems from our Inspirational Poems, Motivational Poetry Collection

 
 
STILL, THERE IS HOPE
   
Author: Chere Holland
   
Poem:
STILL, THERE IS HOPE
   
  All is lost, swept away in an instant
Raging tide, howling wind, crashing storm
Angry torrents of wind-whipped rain
Families huddled together, praying
Asking God to spare them

All is lost, and yet not all,
for still there is hope
Survivors abound, bedraggled but thankfully alive
Family and friends separated struggle
To find a familiar face among the throng
Exhausted, confused, adrift, praying
Asking God to reunite them

All is lost, the once familiar destroyed
Unrecognizable, buried, washed away
Twisted debris where once a child played
Now there is only devastation, sadness
For all is lost, and yet not all,
for still there is hope
As new found friends gather around a welcome meal
Asking God to bless it

All is lost, and yet not all,
for still there is hope
As lives are changed
Things once ignored no longer taken for granted
Things kept hidden now revealed in the light of a new day
Thoughts left unspoken now shared with abandon
Grievances long held, forgotten in the joy of being alive
All is not lost, for God answers prayer
and always, still
There is hope

MORE OF ME
   
Author: Chere Holland
   
Poem: MORE OF ME
   

I WISH THAT THERE WERE MORE OF ME
ANOTHER THREE OR FOUR OF ME
IMAGINE ALL THAT I COULD DO
IF I WENT TO THE OFFICE AND STAYED HOME, TOO

REPORTS WOULD BE TYPED
AND DISHES WOULD GET DONE
I’D ATTEND EVERY MEETING
AND STILL HAVE SOME FUN!

PLAY WITH MY CHILD WHILE PULLING WEEDS IN THE YARD
CATCH UP ON OVERDUE THANK-YOU CARDS
POLISH THE CAR AND ORGANIZE MY FILES
PUT ON A POT ROAST AND MAKE FOLLOW-UP CALLS


COORDINATE A SEMINAR
ON PROPER TIME MANAGEMENT
WHILE HELPING MY SON FINISH
HIS HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT

IF ONLY THERE WERE MORE OF ME
IMAGINE ALL THAT I COULD BE
BUT SINCE THERE’S ONLY ONE, I GUESS
I’LL DO WHAT I CAN AND RESCHEDULE THE REST
