Be the wind in someone’s sail,
Be the calm in someone’s gale,
Be the spark today,
In someone’s dark day.
Be the joy that’s found,
Turning another’s day around.
Be the hope in someone’s gloom -
The sunshine -helping flowers bloom.
Be the light in someone’s night,
And their breastplate in a fight,
And your kindness, always share
In what you do and how you care.
Be the reason to make them smile,
Even if it is for a little while.
In a world that is so tough,
With a whole lot of toxic stuff -
Be the balm - soothing the strife
In someone’s stress filled life!

Be positive even when you don't feel like it
Negativity is the absolute worst thing that can enter your life
It's as simple as smiling
Just smile and you'll feel instantly better
Don't let negativity bring you down
Be happy, think positive thoughts
Be how you usually are, encourage yourself as well as others
Keep going, keep playing, keep fighting
No matter how mad, no matter how tired, no matter how broken down
Just smile
Because there's no positive in being negative
"Be the first to comment on this poem", says PoetrySoup.
Indeed, this is a supportive group,
but with poems like this - you know what -
do you really want to "encourage this poet"?
Can do
Attitudes,
You too.
I love discovering new poets so I click the new user link a lot
There are so many feelings on a page, lest that I’ve forgot
I feel excitement as I read the new one’s first line or two
Trying to find something positive, wanting to encourage too
If the poem is about sex or cutting, I stop reading it right away
They will find the readers, but I will not be one of them, okay?
If it is about suicide, I will skip that one also, believe me.
These kinds of subjects take away my happy energy.
If the poet is a beginner their rhymes may sound like a forced jot
I overlook this, knowing they’ll get better, experience does a lot.
I write something upbeat and exciting, to encourage poets who are new.
For when I began writing poetry, this was done for me by many of you.
Poets,
Scribbling soulmates, yet
Artists.
Step forward now in a brand-new way,
Encourage yourself as David did say.
The balancing acts, the burdens we bear,
With weights in our hands, will soon vanish in air.
As we worship Him, He steadies our path,
Guiding us gently, withholding His wrath.
Jehovah Jeriah, Rapha, Nissi -
In His Grace and Blood, we walk freely.
We are pressing through, we are coming strong,
We are overcomers, that’s where we belong.
With divine wisdom, re-arrange the ruins,
Transforming lives and cities, breaking chains.
Build a new, for miracles draw near,
On our path, manifestations, will soon appear.
Listen closely to your heartbeat’s sound,
Let your uniqueness be truly unbound.
We are stepping forward, no longer delayed,
In purpose and power, divinely arrayed.
beyond this world, high up In the skies
there is a Nature beyond our comprehension
where heaven Transcribes with faith to baptize
this is a Home too amazing not to mention
hallelujahs Encourage the souls who believe
in our Savior, whose Love will not deceive
He Is the answer for everyone who is in need
He is light that is everlasting, despite our Greed
although Hearts may worry or grieve our past
He offers grace and love That will always last!
Interacting with shop staff.'
Negating the unproductive auto till'
Encouraging social co-heasion'
Caring for the overall ecology'
Have good numerecy skills
Are out going personalitys
Have a willingness to show compassion'
When all seems lost and all stars gone
Imagine lights and you won't be alone
When sadness quakes and voices mock
Imagine the skies among with whom you'll flock
When happiness fades and madness runs
Imagine colours brighter than the sun
When fires scorch and winters blow cold
Imagine spring letting love unfold
When you're drowning under the waters of hassle
Imagine that you're floating on top of a castle
When they all leave and bail– don't sulk
Imagine fairies with wings are eager to talk
( Hold onto this anchor please)
When all seems lost and all stars gone
Imagine lights and you won't be alone
When sadness quakes and voices mock
Imagine the skies among with whom you'll flock
When happiness fades and madness runs
Imagine colours brighter than the sun
When fires scorch and winters blow cold
Imagine spring letting love unfold
When you're drowning under the waters of hassle
Imagine that you're floating on top of a castle
When they all leave and bail– don't sulk
Imagine fairies with wings are eager to talk
Who has been called the black sheep
The one child that roams and never sleeps,
Were you the one always in trouble,
When deep down all you wanted was a cuddle,
Dont give your child a lable
Then cut them off like a cable,
There the one who lives up to the name,
So maybe it's time for you to feel shame,
They fight they steal ,hurt you and lie ,
But your the one who always crys
There fights ,there battles,that you don't see,
They're only asking why does nobody see me
Instead of the black sheep, say there part of your pack,
And let them know you will always there back,
Guide and stear them in the right way ,
Let them speak if they have something to say ,
Give good advice, and Guide them on there way ,
Let the black sheep be a thing of the past,
Have a loving home that sure will last ,
What seems great, full of years and much to taste, later proves that time is not to waste.
Pass your time sojourning with trembling and fear, some of us may not have much time left here.
Considering then and now, all that’s ever been under the sun, I can still hear many ask, “what’s wrong with some fun”.
Curious we became, searching out this and that, posing as some great thing saying, hey look what I’ve got!
Forgetting our souls for which we will give an account, there’s no money that can pay for this required amount.
Covering your eyes and ears to this never changing truth, taking the broad road that doesn’t bare any fruit.
Swiftly without warning, one is plucked from this path, plummeting into a place that is so, so very dark.
Prepared is a great supper, you’re invited by the King, Jesus is the only way to enter therein.
Give thought I beg of you, stop living on the edge, look around its evening now, we are drawing closer to the end.
No need for broken records,
Soon yesterday's news,
We must stay resolved,
To practice our hocus pocus,
For goodness' sake,
Prayers for peace unite,
Champions, reach for the stars,
Building better tomorrows,
To young, we pass the baton,
But still alive and kicking!
Is found in God..!
By the Spirit
Through the Son
Gift of Gifts
The all in One.!
