Poem: “Help Yourself to Happiness”

Inspirational Message: Where to search happiness in life.

Everybody, everywhere
seeks happiness, it’s true,
But finding it and keeping it
seem difficult to do.

Difficult because we think
that happiness is found
Only in the places where
wealth and fame abound.

And so we go on searching
in palaces of pleasure
Seeking recognition
and monetary treasure,

Unaware that happiness
is just a state of mind
Within the reach of everyone
who takes time to be kind.

For in making others happy
we will be happy, too.
For the happiness you give away
returns to shine on you.


“Help Yourself to Happiness” by Helen Steiner Rice

Poem: "Pain Ends."

“Pain Ends.”

Inspirational Message: ➳ Letting go of whatever causes you pain and sadness.

Breathe in the fresh air,

Put your mind at ease.

Let down your hair,

Let it flow in the breeze.

Let your eyes wander,

To all the beauty to be seen.

If those toxic thoughts you still do ponder,

Then let out a scream.

Scream until the pain is gone,

Until you no longer feel afraid.

Open your eyes to a new dawn,

Let the darkness fade.

No longer compare yourself

Or your flaws to others’ perfections.

Take the negativity off the shelf.

Focus on your direction.

Pick the sadness up off the floor,

Sweep it into the wind.

Close the door on self-hatred.

Never let it back in.

For the lies it would often tell you,

You will no longer agree.

Happiness and love are what you should hold onto.

They are whom you should give the key.

Pay no attention to the toxic thoughts,

Listen to those who adore everything you are.

Overthinking was what you once were taught,

But now those thoughts you put in a jar.

Focus on your goals,

Never lose your fight.

It’s time to open new scrolls.

Everything will be all right.

Poem: " Red Brocade. "

  ❅ Poem: Red Brocade ❅ Naomi Shihab Nye ❅

“The Arabs used to say,

When a stranger appears at your door,

feed him for three days before asking who he is,

where he’s come from,

where he’s headed.

That way, he’ll have strength

enough to answer.

Or, by then you’ll be

such good friends

you don’t care.”

Poem: " To All My Friends. "

 ❅ Poem: To All My Friends ❅ Hauntie ❅

“To all my friends who have been with me in weakness,

when water falls rush down my two sides.

To all my friends who have felt me in anguish,

when this earthen back breaks between the crack of two blades.

To all my friends who have held me in rage,

when fire tears through swallows behind tight grins.

I know you,

I see you,

I hear you“

Poem: " What is the greatest gift? "

 ❅ Poem: What is the greatest gift? ❅ Marie Oliver ❅

“What is the greatest gift?

Could it be the world itself—the oceans, the meadowlark,

the patience of the trees in the wind?

Could it be love, with its sweet clamor of passion?

Something else—something else entirely 

holds me in thrall.

That you have a life that I wonder about

more than I wonder about my own.“|
