Poems in English HOME
I Want To Treasure Only spending money Somehow is empty I want to treasure Creating something Imagining something Being passive always Somehow is lonely I do not want to forget To start on my own To try to take action At times I'll turn the TV off I'll enjoy a peaceful time Enveloped in a natural calmness Surrounded only by my family's voices Perhaps the truly precious things Can be seen then Perhaps I'll encounter the terrific strength Hidden deep in my heart  |
Joy of Living No one knows about tomorrow Everyone lives Feeling somehow perhaps It will turn out a certain way But at times Unexpected things happen Today, in only a moment Things will also happen that Change your life Not knowing the future Not being able to see tomorrow Probably there are also Uncertain, pressing times Do not be defeated By such feelings Though tomorrow is unknown Possibilities will unfold there There will be joy of your dreams You can encounter unexpected pleasures Dream about tomorrow Believe in yourself Joy of living Will be there |
My Heart's Support Our one chance of meeting Not knowing The next time We may run into each other But when I meet you again Sometime, someplace I want to be myself Without embarrassment As I quietly think of you In the corner of my mind As my heart is warmed I want to shine like you Because of you, faraway Because of these unswerving thoughts You give me great courage In my innermost heart These thoughts Unfading, always lovely Give me support Quietly, reassuringly Thank you for your courage Thank you for your smile Thank you for your wonderful way of living Thank you for this meeting |
When You Become Lonely When you are lonely When you cry with sadness There always will be a place Here for you to drop in When you by chance Stop along the way Wherever you may be Take a look up at the blue sky Listen to the melody of The faraway wind Please recall My words No matter how far Away from here you may be You are there, just that Gives me strength The miracle of having met In the same age On the same earth Now gives me courage I will walk To the unseen tomorrow Feeling pride You are who you are |
One More Step A time you get discouraged The time you are succeeding With one more step You can reach great joy Soon after thinking there is no hope Surely success will follow Joy will come Your shining self can be found One more breath!! Believe in success Believe in your potential Believe your dreams will come true Let's step forward |
A Place to Shine I want to find a place to shine Comfortable, enjoyable The most suitable place for me Such a place to shine Certainly exists Surely will be found For both you and me I want to do things with vigor I want to sparkle To develop a more beautiful spirit In that place where I can shine  |
Everyone Striving Under this vast sky On this same earth Everyone is striving to live Even though at times We may shed tears And have painful thoughts We desperately try to live Not only myself All people are doing their best in their own way Let's not forget this Let's move forward with confidence Your striving image Encourages me Gives me support To not lose heart |
Joy I want a humble spirit That appreciates Each small thing in life I want to be someone Who is thankful for Even the smallest things The warm light from the sun The grandeur of nature Surrounding everyone I want to live with Much joy Much emotion Much gratitude When something common Becomes something out of the ordinary I can become richer in spirit I can experience more happiness Living becomes More and more enjoyable |
Loving Yourself Love yourself Even you who has lost self-respect Even you who has hurt someone Even you who has been crying Look beyond all of this Each person can change Even a weakness can be Transformed into a strength Believe something shining Exists within you Act with resolve To become the ideal you Doing so You can without realizing it Truly become your ideal self Without straining yourself To be accepted by all people First, from within Start to love yourself Then self-confidence will spring up Living will become fun Surely you can meet The positive, bright you The wonderful you full of dreams |
Unseen Strength Life is not just happy times Things do not always go well But life is not just hard times Also it's not just frustrations By chance the direction of the wind will change Suddenly there are also Things that bring you loving feelings Things that fill you with courage Even though now a high mountain Rises before your eyes Behind it the road you have walked Will be beautiful, will continue Your striving Your efforts step by step Your firm steps on solid ground Even though it may not be seen All this will enrich your body and spirit Will surely lift you Will become strength to support you |
Spending Time When always under stress Only working busily Sometimes I really long for A restful time A time of quiet relaxation Resting my body, resting my spirit Refreshing both body and spirit A wonderful time to be filled With new energy from within Only striving forward My breath becomes short Only resting My motivation is lost Times to run with all my might And times to relax quietly Keeping a proper balance I want to spend my time well |
Going My Way I am myself, going my way Even though I may suffer because of someone Although I may have bitter memories I do not want those things to cloud my own heart Whoever with whatever power Can not manipulate my heart I will not allow Anyone or anything To cause me to despise myself I am myself I will never forget my shining thoughts Nor be controlled by anything I want to have strong beliefs Always my own With gentleness I want to be filled with love |
