Reflections Of A Mother

(Child Poems)

I gave you life, but cannot live it for you.

I can teach you things, but I cannot make you learn.

I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.

I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it.

I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe.

I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always decide for you.

I can buy you beautiful clothes, but I cannot make you beautiful inside.

I can offer you advice, but I cannot accept it for you.

I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.

I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.

I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor.

I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose them for you.

I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure.

I can tell you the facts of life, but I can’t build your reputation.

I can tell you about drinking, but I can’t say “no” for you.

I can warn you about drugs, but I can’t prevent you from using them.

I can tell you about lofty goals, but I can’t achieve them for you.

I can teach you about kindness, but I can’t force you to be gracious.

I can warn you about sins, but I cannot make you moral

I can love you as a child, but I cannot place you in God’s family.

I can teach you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life.

Too True, Too Often - Friendship Poems

Too True, Too Often

(Friendship Poems - Inspirational Poems)

Too often we don’t realize

What we have, until it is gone

Too often we wait, too late to say

“I’m sorry .. I was wrong.”

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones

We hold dearest to our hearts

And we allow the petty things

To tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let

Unimportant things into our minds

And then it’s usually too late

To see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know

How much they mean to you

Take that time to say the words

Before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate

Everything you’ve got

And be thankful for the little things

in life that mean a lot.

The Friend Who Just Stands By - Friendship Poems - Inspirational Poems

The Friend Who Just Stands By

(Friendship Poems - Inspirational Poems)

When troubles come your soul to try,

You love the friend who just stands by.

Perhaps there’s nothing she can do,

The thing is strictly up to you.

For there are troubles all your own,

And paths the soul must tread alone.

Times when love can’t smooth the road,

Nor friendship lift the heavy load.

But just to feel you have a friend,

Who will stand by until the end.

Whose sympathy through all endures,

Whose warm handclasp is always yours.

It helps somehow to pull you through,

Although there’s nothing she can do.

And so with fervent heart we cry,

God Bless the friend who just stands by.
