Poems Of Encouragement




2. Routines

   Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2015
   
   Routines are routines,
   To keep you in check.
   To get you to school,
   To keep you from being a wreck.
   
   Routines are needed,
   For all of us most of the time.
   But big things create change,
   And routines move aside.
   
   And this is okay,
   As new ways come into play.
   It just sometimes can be hard,
   To get used to the new way.
   
   You’ll find out what's new,
   And what works best for you.
   And then you will see,
   A new routine you can do.
   
   And a new change can be nice,
   Whether it is big or is small.
   You learn so much new,
   And won’t be bored at all.
   
   So as you graduate, embrace new routines,
   And the changes as well.
   You may even learn to like change,
   In time you’ll be able to tell.





A New Chapter In Life Poem





3. Never Forget

   Poet Unknown
   
   Never forget your high school days.
   The years in which you grew
   Challenges and happy times you went through.
   
   Tomorrow each will go their own way;
   And  friends may drift apart.
   But the memories of joys you’ve shared.
   Will always live within your heart.
   
   No matter what faces you tomorrow
   Believe you can overcome any fears;
   May you do your uttermost.
   To have success in future years.
   
   These four years of high school life
   You'll leave behind with many a sigh.
   But you'll hold them fast in memory.
   A new beginning, but also a good-bye.






4. Bloom Thro Life

   Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
   
   Fair as a flower
   Is thy sweet young face,
   Like a liquid stream
   Doth thy blue eyes gleam.
   Robing thee with grace.
   
   May you bloom thro' life
   Like a lily pure;
   May your talents rare
   Be nurtured with care,
   God's love to ensure.





Thank You God Poems





5. Congratulations On Your Success

   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Years of struggle, growing pains and memories,
   Late nights spent studying, weekends spent with friends.
   Fun times and trying times, milestones both minor and great.
   The triumphs that came afterward make all the effort worthwhile.
   
   High school may have been daunting but hard work surely paid off,
   You earned the right to celebrate, go ahead take a bow.
   Your own accomplished goals achieved;
   You have done it, congratulations on your success.






6. Every Morning

   by Charles Kingsley
   
   Thank God every morning when you get up
   That you have something to do which must be done
   Whether you like it or not.
   Being forced to work and
   Forced to do your best will breed in you
   Temperance, self-control, diligence, strength of will,
   Content and a hundred virtues which
   The idle will never know.






7. Mixed Feelings

   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Time has flown, it moved so fast,
   High school days are now the past.
   We knew this chapter had to end,
   Still, it’s hard to let go of every friend.
   
   We say goodbye to locker doors,
   To busy halls and classroom chores.
   No more the bell that called us in,
   Now life invites us to begin.
   
   The mix of joy and tears is real,
   But with each change, new dreams reveal.
   So take each step with heart held high,
   Your future's waiting—give it a try.

   My successes and failures shaped me,

   I gave my all, every day I toiled,
