Two Poems from our Inspirational Poems, Motivational Poetry Collection

 
 
PAGES
   
Author: Catherine Grainger
   
Poem:
PAGES
   
  Pages
I have carried with me
through every town I chose to flee
into every house I tried to make my home
the only thing that is just my own
Years would pass sometimes
when I would not write one line
Because of shame, or circumstance
or I just hadn't had the chance
Cardboard boxes filled with pages
of unfinished thoughts and
fragments of hopes and memories
Endless half filled notebooks
and random bits of paper
have followed me through
this life that I have made
Words put down just for me
because I had no other way
to keep my heart or sanity
For what I needed to say
ink was my only voice
The words were my only self
there was no one else
I had no other choice
Stories started but not complete
songs unfinished and never sung
Poems that once had meaning
now forgotten and not understood
Pages meant for other things
used instead to catch an inspiration
set aside for reasons unknown
waiting always to be taken up again


New pages always meant a new start
to release the feelings in my heart
In a secret place in my mind
I had always hoped to find
the courage to show my words
to someone out there in the world
who might be helped somehow
by feelings I'd have written anyhow

DEDICATIONS
   
Author: Zachary Einhorn
   
Poem: DEDICATIONS
   

A baby died today
Such a small thing
Here on this hill
Evil’s face it saw
So it was ended

Though its life was short
One must never forget

A baby died today
She wasn’t very old
Heaven took her early
Even though she died
She’ll be with us always

Death is always scary
Understanding it is hard
So we build up walls
To protect ourselves

To die is not so difficult
Only living is not so easy

Doing good deeds can go a long way
Unless we let someone destroy them
Some day we might learn how to love
Then maybe we’ll learn how to live
