Don't be like others, you're unique being yourself.  When people look at you, do they see someone else?
Everyone is different, they are not like how you felt.  It's best not to act like others, but it's good to be yourself.
Your life is like a mirror, viewed for others to see.  When you look in the mirror, can you say, "I can see me?"

Your attitude can determine how high you get to the top.  Even a pilot needs knowledge to fly, and land in a safe spot.
Being negative paralyzes a man, causing him to stop.  It can only burden him down, causing him to drop.
If you plan to get ahead in life, watch those you are hanging around.  If you find they're not moving on, don't let them pull you down.  
Keep a positive attitude, no matter what is said.  Let them see you soar like an Eagle, far above their head.

The reason why I go to school, I realize I need to learn.  Someday I hope to get a job, then there will be money to earn.
The reason why I go to school, so I can be taught a Vocation.  The only way to arrive at this; I must get a good education.
The reason that I go to school; I know there's a future ahead.  I refuse to hang out on the corner like some who end up dead.

I see the sky with its sun, moon and stars.  Yet, I see birds flying, suffering with so many scars.  
I see tall trees, blowing from the wind that's in the air.  I see mankind knocking them down, as if they do not care.
I see large ships, in waters that are clean.  Suddenly, I hear about an oil spill, endangering the animals seen.
I see the homeless, on the streets, so all alone.  I see people passing them quickly by, as if they are in a zone.
I see we have a chance to make a difference throughout our land.  Only a few are willing, to finally take a stand.

Follow the right people to get ahead in life.  Shun those who fail to do the things that's right.
There are people in life who mean you no good at all.  They will take you down the wrong road, to make sure you are going to fall.  
They will stand back and let you be the one to get caught.  They will make you forget, everything that you were taught.
Refrain from following the wrong people, as if you don't have a mind of your own.  When are you going to take a stand, before you are all alone.

Children should know their place, when it come to talking back.  Having respect for others is  something they should not lack.
They should be taught at an early age, to stay out of adults conversations.  It may be friends, family members, or other relations.
When teenagers talk back, it really make them look bad.  It's important not to walk around, causing people to be sad.
You suppose to be an example, for those who are younger than you.  Be a good role model, in all that you choose to do.
By, Sandra J. Nailing

Respecting people is something we all need.  We will all get along, if everyone took heed.
There will come a time to make a sacrifice.  Don't get upset, when given advice.
We have to respect the differences in man.  Prevent one from falling, by helping each other stand.  
When your parents grow old, show them great respect.  Refrain from hurting their feelings, and don't get them upset.

What's up with the foul language, that flows from your lips?  I am out to truly learn; can you suggest some good tips?
What's up with the words that does not sound healthy?  I'm out to gain knowledge, and even become wealthy.
What's up with the lyrics that's bringing people down?   Have you sat and listened, how the words really sound?
What's up with the music that fails to edify?  You're defeating the purpose; you're causing people to die.
What's up with that!

Never hang your head; give the world that lovely smile.  You have always showed your teeth, even from a child.
Your big smile help lift a depressed soul.  Your smile is so pleasant; your smile is so bold.
Pass that big smile on, so others can join in.  If the whole world smile, we would have one big grin.

While driving in your car, why is the music loud?  I hear the nasty lyrics; tell me why are you proud?
You know what?  You really don't care, about the feelings of mankind. You're so involved into that kind of music; only God can cleanse your mind.
While driving in the car, why is the music loud?  People get the impression that you are really wild.  
Is there a bone in your body to feel what people feel?  Be more considerate, and preserve people's precious ears.

It's time to grow up; your childhood days have past.  Even your clothes don't fit; you have grown so fast.
It's time to grow up; you have even aged.  It's time to advance in life, into another stage.
It's time to grow up; you're no longer a child.  It's time to show maturity, it's time to stop acting wild.

A baby is so precious, don't throw it away!  Take him to a neighbor; give him a safe place to stay.
A baby is so precious; he's sent from God above.  God chose to create him, especially, to receive your love.
He placed him in your womb; he knew exactly what to do.  He delivered him safely, and he arrived brand new.  
When you were a baby, God loved you so much.  He spared your life from death; commanding the devil not to touch.

It's time to move on, just don't stand still.  If you think you are not able, just use your will.  
It's time to come out of darkness, emerge into the light.  Now you can see clearly, how to do what's right.
It's time to encourage others, to travel down the right road.  While you are encouraging, help carry your brother's load.
It's time to teach others, how to love one another.  When God created us, He made us all sisters and brothers.
It's time to be that example, before a generation beginning to learn.  It may not be easy, you may have to be firm.

Learn to be friendly, to everyone around.  Give them your best smile; don't let them see you frown.  We live in a cold world with faces of an attitude.  People are not friendly, some people are rude.
Learn to up lift one another, and encourage along the way.  We have so much to go through, each and everyday.
Learn to encourage your brother, so he can excel in life.  Encourage every chance you get, so we all will do what's right.  
Making friends may not be easy, but give it a chance.  Make it easy for everyone, so they can advance.

Who gives you the right to put other people down?  You may look like an angel, but what you are doing, God frown.
Who gives you the right, to judge how much people weigh?  Since you are not God, I believe you need to pray.
Who gives you the right, to ignore those who are not like you.  Someday you may need their help, then what will you do?
God created this world, to be enjoyed by all.  Humble yourself in humility, then  you'll be able to stand tall.

This world can be so cold, where people seem to care less.  You may find yourself struggling, people hinder you from doing your best.
This world can be so cold; people go about their way.  You may stop to say, "hello", they'll ignore what you say.
This world can be so cold; people not caring about life.  Instead, they rather destroy one another, than to do what's right.
This world can be so cold; instead of up lifting each other, you are dragged down, watching them be bold.
This world needs to change; what it needs is love.  The only way this can come about is from God above.

I was fearfully made, by some Powerful Hands.  In God's creation, He had some precious plans.
He made me with eyes, so I'll be able to see.  When people are in trouble, I'll see how to set them free.
He made me with ears, so I can hear.  I'll be able to detect danger, whether it's far or near.
I'm pleased to be able to smell.  To detect between good and bad odors, I'll be able to tell.
He made me with a mouth, to taste all the lovely foods.  I'll be able to eat all the lovely foods, with nothing to lose.  I'm pleased to be able to touch and feel.  I'll be able to tell, if something was false or real.

What are you doing, to assist those who are old?  Do you take them by the hand, even their packages hold?
Many old people, from family members are robbed.  They can only sit by, and began to sobs.
Some old people are unable to walk fast.  Do you quickly run by, knocking them on the grass.
There are so much to do for old people, making sure that they have heat.  Stop back and cook a meal, so they will have food to eat.

I am going to give you a chance, to began to use your mind.  Are there people who looks up to you, are they around all the time?
While people look up to you, are you training them right?  Are you a good example behind their backs, as well as in their sight?
When people looks up to you, be a person of integrity.  Always be honest in everybody's eyes, because they copy what they see.

We live in a dark world; people need a light.  We know how to do what's wrong; we need examples to teach what's right.
We live in a dark world; our lights need to shine.  So many people are struggling, and a chance to lose their mind.
We live in a dark world, trying to get around.  If only someone can show the way, we will not end up on the ground.
We live in a dark world; we are able to lend a hand.  We can prevent people from falling, by helping them to stand.

We are living in a day we need compassion for everyone.  Once this is accomplished, then our duty is done.
When you see someone lonely, and looking sad; go over to share a smile, do something to make him glad.
If someone get a kick out of bringing others down, ignore him, and turn your head, watch the bully frown.
I know someone full of compassion, and I know that you do too.  If it wasn't for His love, and compassion, tell me what can we do?

I am thankful for having eyes to read.  If I was blind, I'll be thankful for a seeing eye dog to lead.  
I am so thankful, to have ears to hear.  To be without hearing, I may live a life of fear.
I am so thankful, to be able to smell.  To sense the aroma of all types of food; I wouldn't be able to tell.
I am so thankful, to be able to taste.  I do ask forgiveness, for all the food I waste.
I am so thankful, to be able to touch.  Without it, the amount of work to get done; will not be much.
Just be thankful!

I was sitting here typing a new poem entitled, "Are You Thankful", when it vanished into space.  I refuse to use this site, if someone is going to ****** my poetry, as if they are in a grabbing race.  Will you try your best, to retrieve my poem.  Right now I am so discouraged, I feel my heart is torn.

Why do you come to school, leaving notebook, and supplies at home?  You are always walking the halls, searching for places to roam.
Why do you come to school, having a bad attitude?  You disrespect your teachers; with the students you are rude.
Why do you come to school; are you planning on going to college?  You need to get your act together, so you can gain more knowledge.

Don't allow your peers to deter you, from getting ahead in life.  Always remember to do good, and reach for the things that's right.
Refuse to join in with the crowd, while they put others down.  Remember to do what you were taught, even though your parent's are not around.
Be that light to shine in darkness, so your peers may see.  Someone need to take a stand, to be the example so others can see.
By, Sandra J. Nailing

Be encouraged, don't let trouble get you down.  It may not be good to be alone, find friends to be around.
Be encouraged, you are doing great.  Don't let someone tell you otherwise; they might just be a fake.
Be encouraged, keep pressing ahead.  Continue in the right direction, as you are carefully lead.
Be encouraged, and know you will succeed.  Today you may follow, but tomorrow you may lead.

I've been so hurt , by poetry websites of the past.  I can't let them pull me down; someday I'll win at last.
We must remember, God will surely pay them back.  I don't know how they will reap; they just may suffer lack.
I love writing poetry, it's something given from the Lord.  I like to spread what has been given, and that's given from above.
I'm going to give this site a chance, to advance the poetry I have to share.  Whenever I need their help; I expect them to be there.

Learn to love people; many are suffering from lack.
Learn to love people; this is a command from God above.
Learn to love people; reach out and give someone a hug.
Learn to love people!
