Short Poem Of The Week

There Are Others
Poet: Unknown

If times are hard, and you feel blue.
Think of others, worrying, too.
Just because your trials are many
Don't think the rest of us haven't any.

Life's made up of smiles and tears,
Joys and sorrows, mixed with fears;
And though to you it may seem one-sided,
Trouble is pretty well divided.

If we could look in every heart,
We'd find that each one has its part.
And those who travel Fortune's road
Sometimes carry the biggest load.

Poetic writings and rhymes have been around for centuries and have been passed down from generation to generation. It is not just about the rhyme but it is the meaning each sentence has that conveys meaning.  At times, a few words can express more thoughts and influence and impact a person than a book full of writings.

Poetry can help anyone to express their feelings; are great to share, and, at times, can even change a person's thinking in a particular situation or circumstance. They can encourage and inspire by adding a positive thought to your day.

As L.V. Seachild said, "Poems tell a story - it's just that the words rhyme." Stories can inspire us and give us hope. They can teach us lessons we otherwise may not experience. And poems are a way of expressing and sharing thoughts and experiences. So let the rhyme in these verses tell a story for you.

Our site has been online since 2003 with short, brief, and to the point, poetry and inspiring thoughts to inspire, motivate, and encourage! Our goal is to provide the best short poems, verses or rhymes to share with family, colleagues, and friends. Either a brief poem, a rhyme, or just a verse can help to express positive messages of appreciation, love, joy, and encouragement. We hope you enjoy our collections of short poems!
