poems to feel HAPPY XD

what poem do you read when you want to cheer up?

or even to just remind yourself that tomorrow is another day?

my favorite is:

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road You're trudging seems all up hill
When the friends are low and the debts are high
And You want to smile but You have to sigh
When care is pressing You down a bit
Rest if You must, but don't You quit
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You might succeed with another blow
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And You never can tell how close You are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when You're hardest hit
It's when things seem worse that You must not quit

-Helen Stiener Rice

i actually saw it on one of the other boards here... but yea, i have it posted up in my room and i look at it all the time when im feeling down

I don't actually like that poem, maybe I'm odd? I tend to drift more to the sad poems than the happy ones. People have worse problems than we do. That should teach you that tomorrow is another day.

thats interesting RandtheR... havent really heard that before.. but still, thats just another take on it all.

Poetry is the only consolation to my heart. To bring my spirits up, I often read the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling.

"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,
And treat those two impostors just the same..."
