#prosperity poems on Hello Poetry

By small and simple acts and ways
Our futures come to pass
And so we ought to choose today
The ways that bless at last

For time speeds by and races on
And seeds we’ve planted grow
Then let’s arise each waking dawn
And act on what we know

Small and simple will often lead
To great and glorious things
So set good habits with all speed
And watch the wealth this brings

Dream big indeed, and make a start
Small steps will do just fine
Leverage time - it’s just plain smart
And works with laws divine

Let “small and simple” work in you
Develop heart and mind
Then confidently follow through
And live what you’ve designed

Joy in Your Life (Prosperity Poem 114)

Joy in your life
Does not follow wealth
Or fame
Or even ambition

Joy in your life
Follows purpose and meaning
Friends and family
Incremental progress

When you feel disconnected
From Joy in your life
Reach out to another
And connect again

Connect with laughter
Connect with play
Connect with gratitude
Connect with focus
Connect with service
Connect with forgiveness

These will light the fire
For joy in your life
And joy will remain
Your constant companion

my Mom has a website, and I help her keep it up and create and link new content.  I was working on her "Joy" page and pondering about what creates joy in our life.

Check it out and see if you agree.  This poem is actually prose, since it's one of the very few that doesn't rhyme at all.

For me, the things that bring joy into my life are so simple, and you can choose to act today to bring more joy into your life.  Amazingly, these choices and actions will also bring joy to others.  So share this poem freely and let's impact the world for good!

One Year From Now (Prosperity Poem 113)

One year from now, where will you be?
Will you choose? Or just wait and see?

Choose to act - create some changes
From small steps, life rearranges

One year from now, will life be great?
Will you take actions that elevate?

Read new books and learn handy skills?
Or just cruise along to pay the bills?

One year from now, you’ll be the same
Unless you act to increase your game

Think new ideas - meet some new friends
Better thoughts lead to better ends

I often share with people the general idea, "One year from now, you'll be much the same as you are today, except for the books you read and the people you meet."

Sometimes I use "Five Years", but the idea is the same. And it's true! You can choose to make changes. Get those new ideas! Read those best books and listen to life changing audios. Meet new people.

Perseverance (Prosperity Poem 112)

The human spirit ever soars
And always perseveres
“Dare mighty things”
Stirs vision’s wings
We triumph over fears

With unity - we act in faith
And step by step we build
Our aims attain
And then we strain
Toward goals not yet fulfilled

All obstacles - we push aside
We think and innovate
Reaching higher
With minds afire
Success becomes our fate

We can surpass our differences
United - Earth can stand
And then we’ll see
Prosperity
Increase across the land

I wrote this on Thursday during the landing of the NASA Rover on Mars! The landing was inspiring to me and to millions of others across the world. It was fun to see the motto "Dare Mighty Things" on the wall in the back of one room during the landing.

Creative Vibes (Prosperity Poem 111)

Creative vibes bounce all around
Just catch them while you play
Or when you work
Or during sleep
Catch hundreds every day

Then use the very best you find
You only need a few
So choose the best
Just leave the rest
And thank the muses too

Creative vibes don’t live in us
They’re zipping all around
Just harmonize
Use “inner eyes”
Creative vibes abound

You may not always see them there
But if you look you’ll find
Success will grow
You’ll surely know
The grand creative mind

Creativity is fun! In this poem I describe Creative Ideas as being outside of us. We have to catch them. You might "run into" more of them in a new location or even out on a walk. This is how I experience it.

YOU can increase your creativity and thus your enjoyment of each day. We all love to be engaged, and creativity and engagement go hand in hand. And, creative vibes help create more value for people.

So, creativity is directly related to prosperity.

Meta (Prosperity Poem 110)

Meta means above
Meta means transcend
Meta means “next level up”
With meta you’ll ascend

So when it comes to daily acts
Choose those with “meta” powers
Build a business
Write a book
Plan for years - not hours

For meta-choices carry-on
Far past the “choosing” day
Earn a black belt
Frame a house
Vision - paves the way

Meta-Decisions - Meta-Thoughts
Will build both wealth and peace
Release yourself
From “pushing”
Meta - “pulls” increase

This is Prosperity Poem 110 at ProsperityPoems.com and you can see it displayed on a beautiful background (copy and paste the link below). https://prosperitypoems.com/delivery110Meta.html

Meta has become a kind of slang in come circles, but the real meaning is above or transcend. I've used the term "Meta-Decision" for years to describe decisions that impact your life for months or years to come.

We all make decisions daily. Sometimes we make meta-decisions, like choosing to get married, have a baby, start a business, or go to college. These thoughts and actions are "above" regular decisions because they are commitments that set your trajectory for years to come! We all make a few meta-decisions in our life. However, you can gain greater success by thinking "meta" more often.

Earth (Prosperity Poem 108)

Earth
Our Mother
With our care - we now cover

Rebuilding your soil
With intention and toil

We are sorry
To make you cry
And drain your rivers dry

Our Mother
We now strive
To help you to revive
That all can prosper
And survive

Thank you
For teaching us
That every drop of water
Every blade and leaf
Every creature
Makes a difference

I've been studying Geology lately so I've been learning a lot about Mother Earth and her intricate workings.

Wish With Hope

Bluebells growing;
Bluebirds singing;
Elder trees blooming;
Peach trees bearing.

I hope we'll find our happiness and peace. I hope 2021 is full of joy. I wish this pandemic would end soon.

The Company You Keep (Prosperity Poem 107)

Far away, some years ago
A man sowed corn in his field
Confident, and hopeful too
Of the hearty crop he’d yield

Then birds flew in at sunset
And gobbled up many seeds
The farmer acted quickly
To provide his family’s needs

A woven net - to trap the birds
His precious seeds to preserve
He caught five geese and a stork
To get what they deserve

The stork said, “I am innocent
I’ve eaten none of your corn
Free me - I’ve done goodly deeds
Since the day that I was born”

The farmer said, “that may be so
But in this group you were caught
You receive the punishment
Of the company you’ve sought”

The same holds true for all of us
The rewards you choose to reap
Will likely be those given out
To the company you keep

This poem was inspired by a parable on my Mom's website. I found out while writing the poem that the story is actually an Aesop's Fable.

Consistent Pace (Prosperity Poem 106)

Each day will blessings flow your way
From your sure and consistent pace
Like the story told of a speedy hare
And the tortoise who won the race

Your dreams need daily attention
Which draws them to your embrace
So trade your fitful stops and starts
For that steady, consistent pace

Yes, quick and powerful actions -
At times they may have their place
But more success is gained by far
From a stable consistent pace

So when you plan your daily life
Save some focused time and space
For the daily thoughts and actions
That keep your consistent pace

I've been putting some classic (old) parables and some new parables on my Mom's website for her. As I built the page about the tortoise and the hare, I thought how effective (and prosperous) we can be when we act with consistent pace.

We all have different personalities, and some lean toward a consistent pace naturally. My Dad and I can easily take a huge project and work a bit a day on it for 100 days. Some others in my family... don't naturally do that.
However, there is magic and power in a consistent pace!
