Two Poems from our Inspirational Poems, Motivational Poetry Collection
 
 
A gift, not a burden
   
Author: Anu Arumugam
   
Poem:
A gift, not a burden
   
  A newborn opens its clueless eyes and joins its kind
Emotions and feelings are not yet familiar to its dim mind
It willingly cries and whines with all its might
It is young now and does not know wrong from right

The little baby slowly grows up and forms the shape of a beautiful, young girl
A girl who has not yet been informed of the dangers of this new, unforeseen world
A girl who does not know just what will happen when she reaches a certain age
An age where she will be treated like a lifeless puppet standing emptily on a stage

So the days pass by and the girl changes as well
Such strange feelings and emotions, why they are pestering her she cannot tell
But with the wise guidance of her mother and the jolly presence of her friends
She is still actively willing to make ends meet ends

Then the day comes when she will turn thirteen
No more childish jokes or pranks are to be seen
Now she will lead a life of her own
She will lead a more organized life to show how well she has grown

She has taken on the duty of carrying the family name with pride
It feels like a heavy burden, but to let go of this burden she cannot decide
Why must He be so cruel and so cold
And release this burden on the shoulders of all the women of the world

The days go on and she lives her life sadly and unwell
Then one day she meets another girl
A girl, like herself once, who did not know the dangers of the world
A young, beautiful girl who had still not yet been told

To see this little girl brought a memory so joyful to last a lifetime
Relapsing back into her faithful past when she was always in her prime
She now knew the secret of life and would carry it with a joyful drift
The secret was growing older was not to be thought of as a burden but instead as a gift

MY LOVE
   
Author: Christopher Spiess
   
Poem: MY LOVE
   

My love is like an ocean
It goes down so deep
My love is like a rose
Whose beauty you want to keep

My love is like a river
That will never end
My love is like a dove
With a beautiful message to send

My love is like a song
That goes on and on forever
My love is like a prisoner
It’s to you that I surrender

My love is like a lump of gold
Hard to keep and hard to hold
Of all the girls I’ve ever met
You’re the one I can’t forget

I do believe that God above
Created me for you to love
He chose you from all the rest
Because he knew I would love you best
