Strengths Poems


Finding Our Strengths

It’s nice to think that each of us
Possesses certain skills
Or talents or abilities
Which, maybe, life fulfills.

The lucky ones discover theirs
Perhaps when they are young
And if they’re able, nurture it
From when their hopes have sprung.

For many, strengths stay hidden
And then gradually appear,
At times to even influence
One’s choice of a career.

Yet others never have the chance
To tap

A routine

In my dreams you interrupt, 
In my shower you limit water, 
Putting in clothes you drum louder
And getting out I'm sweating. 

You were to be my strength, 
My weakness you turned, 
Your tone so unpleasant to hear, 
Ready to turn me in to tear my status. 

My wish you are not concerned, 
Only your will

To Be Well

A few ways to stay well, 
3 ways to you I shall tell. 

Believe in yourself, 
it helps strengthen your mental health.

Stay fit, 
Don’t just quit. 

Eat healthy, 
And keep your mind and body wealthy. 

Address what you’re feeling,
Then you’ll know, with what you’re dealing. 

Setbacks you must solve,
old feelings, you must dissolve.  

Take

a strong back,
working legs,

whether it is your natural family
or your friends, 
who have now become your “real” family

Premium MemberHe Does Not Know His Strengths

Parent Teacher conferences are on Thursday
Tommy has torn up the sign-up sheet three times
Not wanting his parents and teacher to ever meet
To compare notes
and talk about how disrespectful he is
how rude he was that one day.
Expecting nothing wonderful to happen
he is horrified when the teacher calls
And the parents set a time.
He dreads the conference, 
Only

Securing Your Strengths

Securing your strengths  
Encased deep inside
Lift every veil
Found in yourself
Accept all the extra
Cautioning panic
Treat it with trust 
Understand the menu
Affirm the plea
Laugh off the dull
Invite the alumni 
Zero in on the glitz
Act out each stanza
Triple the hunt
Ignore the anti
Option the bravado
Never give up again

Premium MemberMy Strengths and Weaknesses

When I was a child though bright but always in fright
Accepted whatever the people furled with fury or flurry
Resulted in to know self –my strengths and weaknesses
That gave me a chance to know what I am in reality.

I accepted all challenges to my large family life
Self-acceptance came from meeting challenges
As a result of that, I

Women S Strengths

(4/1/12)

Men and women are different in so many ways
Men sit in front of the t. v. ‘s to watch their games
Women will watch their soap operas if time permits
That’s how they get their kicks.

It seems to me that this is their dreams
Men look to games for the power they seek
While women look for hearts that

My will is strong
Is that not wrong?

Know I'm bright
Can devil fight!

Know I'm full of love
Give evil the shove!

And I can always grow
In here and now you know!

Strengths of An Angel

Shed a tear for the dead
hold your love ones close to you


Pray for the child
do what ever you have to do


Let go of the hurt and pain
be strong for the ones lift behind


Hope that the fog clears from your brain
before you completely loose your mind


Plant love in a childs heart
don't give up on everyone


Glue the
