The very point point of inspiration itself is that it doesn't mean to be just beautiful and well-written. It means to have an effect on the reader, maybe even make a change. The change might be spiritual, though it does not need to be. The change can be contained to the heart alone, leaving the soul to another occasion. Some is contemplative verse written to provide quiet moments in which escape or solace might be found from day to day matters. The world will always need inspirational poems for kids.
It's good that they are readily available both bound and online. Of course a book of such verse makes a wonderful gift. Inspiring poetry can also be used one poem at a time, as occasion demands. There really isn't an occasion when they are unwelcome, and if selected judiciously, they can be a gateway into a broader poetic universe.
Stirring poetry can be a soothing gift to a child taken to bed sick for a few days. It's nice to write a bit of uplifting verse inside a Get Well card. Send one in an email when away at work. They're good for other situations too, such as offering consolation after any sort of disappointment, or offering encouragement on the eve of the big test.
If one's memory isn't completely lost to years and bad habits, it would be nice to actually memorize a poem or two. Then they can be available in conversation, which can be helpful if one isn't naturally conversant with people, kids in particular. Fortunately there is rhyme to help the memory, and inspiring poems can be just a single couplet.
Inspiring poetry and holy scripture are not the same thing for most people. To both religious and nonreligious people, the difference matters, though not for the same reasons. Verse may not be appreciated the same way the faithful appreciate holy books.
The general rule of thumb is that poems are the accounts of those receiving the blessing of God or hoping to do so. The speaker might be a sinful person, and that might be the very point. The poem is the words of someone who is to be understood as an example, a fellow traveler toward God rather than God himself.
This might be of help to parents who are concerned that the poems may not reflect their particular religious dogma. Outsiders might scoff, but this can be of concern for more orthodox families. For them, so long as care is taken and the rights distinctions made, secular poems can play an important part in rounding out a youngster's spiritual life.
For irreligious people, an inspiring ballad or epic can fill an important need, and create interesting opportunities. It can help a youth contemplate the Cosmos along with his or her role in it. It is a way to introduce young people to spiritual insight from across time and all cultures, in a manner free of religious dogma. Talking about a poem with one's son or daughter, or with a group of similarly irreligious friends, might even begin to serve as an alternative to church. Poetry can inspire, and in this is something of value to anyone.
