I remember years ago when the person ahead of me on a toll highway paid my toll. It made me feel so good that a total stranger did something nice for me without any expectation of anything being returned to them. It made me pass it on, I paid the toll for the car behind me. Such a simple thing to do but one that brings a feeling of caring and sharing in this world of ours.

Or another time while I was in the drive through line up at our local coffee shop, the car ahead of me paid for my coffee. Such a small thing but it brightened my day to think a complete stranger thought to pay for my coffee. That particular day was filled with challenges and issues but that one small gesture changed my attitude for the rest of the day. And, I was able to handle the challenges I was facing.

So no matter what it is, big or small, pass it on and see the difference you will make in people's lives. May these inspirational poems encourage you to pass it on.

Inspirational Poems    /   Pass It On



  1. Pass It Along
    Poet: David V. Bush

    When joy comes into your heart,
    Pass it along!
    A smile 's a gem you should impart;
    Pass it along!
    Someone should share your joy with you;
    Someone should smile because you do;
    Someone should be as cheerful, too —
    Pass it along!

    When some stray sunbeam lights your lane,
    Pass it along!
    Some other soul is bowed in pain;
    Pass it along!
    Your smile will save a soul downcast,
    Your word will cheer and hold him fast,
    Your song will echo to the last —
    Pass it along!



  2. Pass It On
    Poet: Henry Burton


    Have you had a kindness shown?
    Pass it on;
    ‘Twas not given for thee alone,
    Pass it on;

    Let it travel down the years,
    Let it wipe another’s tears,
    Till in Heaven the deed appears,
    Pass it on.



  3. Little Things
    Poet: Ebenezer Cobbaii Breweii


    Little drops of water.
    Little grains of sand.
    Make the mighty ocean
    And the pleasant land.

    Thus the little minutes.
    Humble though they be.
    Make the mighty ages
    Of eternity.

    Thus our little errors
    Lead the soul away
    From the paths of virtue.
    Far in sin to stray.

    Little deeds of kindness.
    Little words of love.
    Make our life an Eden,
    Like the heaven above.

    Little seeds of mercy
    Sown by youthful hands,
    Grow to bless the nations
    Far in heathen lands



  4. Pass it on is a saying that, Is not just words, it is a format A way of living that shares a love


  5. A Saying
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020


    A saying that has been around:
    "A penny you have found
    Give it to the person next to you
    And good luck will come to you."

    Life is full of things that can be
    Passed to others you will see.
    A smile so simple to give
    It helps to spread some positive.

    Blessings that have been given to you
    Can be shared by what you do.
    But with others, when you share
    It truly demonstrates you care.

    Being greedy and hoarding all
    Makes your life very small.
    Sharing with those less fortunate
    Is a great alternative.

    "Pass it on" is a saying that,
    Is not just words, it is a format
    A way of living that shares a love
    It is an influence from God above.

    Always remember someone once helped you
    Making it possible for all you have and do.
    We are made to help others
    Never forget we are all sisters and brothers.
