100 Inspirational Words and Messages for Someone Special



1. Do you know what friends are for?
they are worth so much and more
when you cry they lift you high
you’ll stand tall and will not fall
because you have a friend to call
those hungry times and days of pain
your lonely hours and loss of gain
that’s when your friend will stand out strong
and hold your hand to right the wrong
then comes the time of smiles and joy
don’t be like boys who outgrow toys
but keep those friends until the end
and when it’s them that need the help
run like lightning give your best
in so doing you pass the test.

2. At every point of despair, you can always get up and try one more time. It is not about the end, it is about the process. For it is in the process that you become the truest expression of yourself.

3. You will meet these sets of people in your life;
the ones who will use you, who will love you for what you are.
The ones who will abuse you, who will never find joy in who you are.
The ones who want to be used by you, who will find you as their crazy obsession.
……and the ones who will be useful for you, who will love you for no reason.
Thank them all, they gave you experience.

4. A strongman shook my heart and tore it apart
oh! he made me cry as I said goodbye
the more I cried, the more he smiled
I begged him to undo his deed
to bring back to me my kid.
Alas! He said “no chance, not even a glance
those I have taken away, forever they will stay”
I said to him, be not proud
nor blow your trumpet loud
my infant I will miss, I said this with a loud hiss
he sized me and turned away
he said “your times another day”.
Curiously I asked him his name
he turned and looked at me the same.
“Many great men have I kept,” said he
“equally poor men have followed me
my name you will get
that name is death”.

5. Do you ever stop to wonder
the fragility of babies
the strength of youth

Do you ever stop to ponder
what exactly you are doing here on earth
why you are you
and why nobody else can be you.

you hiss at the appreciative crowd.

and then the people will surely diss
be careful for that day will arrive
and you will be all alone to thrive.
