We have all heard the saying that actions speak louder than words. Let these short poems encourage you and remind you of how true this is.
We all know people who can speak well but the people who get things done are those who know how to stop talking and start taking
action. Your best example is not your words, but your actions. So speak but then put actions behind those words.
If you are trying to influence someone to do something or act in a certain way then your actions will speak much louder than any words. When you mentor
someone, always remember, how you act will influence them more than what you say. Never underestimate the power of your actions.
As Israelmore Ayivor has said, "Thoughts do more. Words do much. Actions do much more. "Take action, share these, actions speak louder than words, share these
poems with others.
In words, we clothe our thoughts, deep and true,
But what speaks louder? Deeds that we pursue.
For noble virtues, mere talk shall never do,
Mere promises have no power to imbue.
Actions forge the path where trust converges,
Revealing souls beyond linguistic surges.
In righteousness and grace, let our essence glow,
For actions speak volumes, louder than we know.
One Thing To Talk And Another To Do
Poet: Lillian E Curtis
Oh, 'tis easy to talk, and for words to float out,
As birds flit along on swift flying wings,
Brave, heroic deeds we can talk all about,
But to talk, and to do, are two different things.
Promises are made, and in firm words spoken,
But question how long will they last?
While one promise is made, two may be broken,
For they are not with meditation o'ercast.
Promises were well, but they're easily made,
Bright hopes for awhile they may strew,
But when fair castles fail, and bright seasons fade,
We see 'twere easier to talk, than to do.
Then cheer not the heart with a promise that's brittle,
For the sake of a sound that is fine,
Better than much, is the sure promised little,
That comes in the opportune time.
T'were better to not build the bright castle at all,
Than build on a promise that must soon slip thro,'
Than to see the phantom structure suddenly fall,
For, 'tis one thing to talk, and another to do.
Today is the day, life changes your way,
You'll get out of bed and smile.
It'll take some work, and lots of perks,
But it will be all worthwhile.
How different you'll be, so happy you'll see,
To see life in a different way.
No more negative ways, only lots of good praise,
From those who will see you today.
This choice is yours, and will only be yours,
It's up to you to commit.
At first, it may seem hard, but soon will be jarred,
And your life will have benefit.
Never look back, to what was of lack,
As life for you has drastically changed.
You now just look forward, and only straightforward,
Take action so your life is arranged.
Why is it that we so easily forget
That the little things of life are
What makes it easy or hard?
A few pleasant words, a warm handclasp,
A cordial letter, are simple things, but
They are mighty in their influence on the lives of those about us,
Adding a ray of hope to many disconsolate hearts,
Giving a bit of courage to disappointed, weary ones,
And helping to make our own lives sweeter at the same time.
Few people realize how much the little attentions of
Everyday life means to their associates in the home,
The church, the business place.
Remember that the little things in life,
Whether good or bad,
Count for more with those who love than we ever know,
And we should be watchful of our actions and our words.
We hope these poems give you verses to reflect upon the next time you hear yourself talking rather than taking action. The saying, actions speak louder than words, contains much wisdom. So we encourage you to put your words into action and you
will see a difference in your day!
