Endurance Poems | Examples of Endurance Poetry

On Growing Older Sometimes my steps are steady, Sometimes my hands shake. Sometimes my memory falters, And I make some sad mistake. Sometimes I hear you talking But I do not understand. Just remember that I love you And I do the best I can. My skin is sagged and wrinkled. I look a little like an Elf. My eyesight's getting hazy, Sometimes I repeat...

I am not my father's princess Nor my mother's lookalike I am but a warrior, born to fight In this world where every action counts The dark misty place, a child of light A lot to laugh for, a lot to cry for But all i need is the love for forever and more A star so bright Its inner strength full...

Empty words, empty souls , a pillow, a savior, Like sweet flavor, an anchor much braver, There to save you.. And what for? To keep you from sinking deeper From the images that make them think you're a creeper A vision of the reaper, a version much cheaper The scary monster, a creature, the biggest traitor, Who is there to save you? Hunting memories,...

When you row with vibes, You tend to lose more value... Outside some notable tribes, That always pressure to argue. When you seek attention off reason, You could definitely lose affection... Without reckoning title or season, That holds no clear motive to suspension. When you appear to attract, Probability stakes no idea to stand... You would defend to subtract, While you fail to flow as...

I can also say that, in my heart, I firmly believe... Since my youth, before bedtime, kneeling on my bare knees, I prayed to God. I prayed that way until I reached the age of 50. From that time onwards, I pray a bit different, but it doesn't matter, the essence is the same, and...

The trees that sprout from the tiniest of seeds. The sunny sky A hint of a breeze The warmth from the fire, therein the crackling sparks tease. I’m grateful for it all From the North to the South, filled up mouths. From the East to the West, downy beds. Wealth piled up high Never a restless night. If there comes a day, where all...

Author Dana Redricks June 28, 2025 Heaven and hell is real— not just a tale or a preacher’s zeal. Beyond the veil of flesh and bone, eternal truths are etched in stone. Jesus bore the nails, the shame, on Calvary’s cross, He took our blame. With love so fierce, He broke the...

That heavy, dark presence Sitting on your throne Grabbing at my laurel To claim as your own It presses on my door Pushing up on my space Where TRUTH lives in peace Eating Manna at her own pace There's a fire rising on my table Licking the saints all around With contentment in LOVE And no whisper of fear can be found I return your silver fork Without...

In every heart mending moment I stand and speak you as mine A one of a kind redeeming love No shame in my game The answer is still the same Glad I gotcha to change your name I loved our wedding Unguided until you told me There was something I needed to see The start of our pregnancy defined you Then what's ah man to...

Getting up after the fall, Standing again and accepting the call. Giving it the proverbial 'college try' Burning the midnight oil and remembering his 'why'… Standing in the batter's box again after strike three Readying himself for another at-bat, standing in the box confidently… Picking himself up off the canvas after the big left hook Shaking the cobwebs and learning from the...

You put me in a box— 'Cause that’s what makes you comfortable. You put me in a box— 'Cause that’s what makes you strong. You put me in a box And tell me That’s where I belong. You put me in a box To keep me Contained. Controlled. You put me in a box To strip away my soul. You put me in a box And seal it up...

You practice and you train, you wrack your damn brain, you push through the pain, it still goes sideways. You’re up before dawn, give it guts and brawn, till the last ounce is gone, it still goes sideways. You have all the tools, and follow regs and rules, like all the other fools, it still goes sideways. You do it all right, keep it in the fight, hustling day and night, it still...

Don't you ever lose hope Keep your feet on solid ground Never doubt the Lord's great love Seek Him while He may be found The angels sing His praises They exalt His mighty Name They would move heaven and earth for Him Leading souls who once knew shame Alleluia blessed is the King Throughout times of great trials Peace to His people He will bring ...

Sear my heart, O rampant rage! Simmer deep within! Scour, devour this rusty cage! What it takes to win... As below, thus up above? Not in this fair world. Raptor hawk, guard well the dove? Dead man's fingers curled... Golden sparks to signal? Attention that will get! O prospectors, pill or pall? Does it pay to fret? No! Indeed not, my wild child! Red run reconciled? Crocodile in Nile...
