Top 20 Inspirational Poems to Boost Your Confidence and Motivation

Poetry by Phan Huy Hung

(Dedicated to the poetic Thuy Tien)

With only ten fingers on display,
Love is called through each fingertip's sway.
From head to toe, seemingly inert,
Eyes awaken verses, a poetic concert.

Life, once thought stranded and lonely,
Unexpectedly, love steps in boldly.
The keyboard types each rendezvous,
Joy intermingles in the days we choose...

Motivation at the fingertips,
The sun's radiance beckons and quips.
Verse illuminates brightly,
Lifting souls to soar uprightly!

On nights with tilted lights,
Days when storms assail with might,
Love never misses its date,
Two hearts meet, sealed by fate.

Life unfolds midst the vast,
Refusing confinement's narrow grasp.
A smile that never closes,
Opens doors, fingertips compose...

Poetry by Tran Thi Tinh

Life is truly worth living,
Even in hardship and bitterness.
Amidst a thousand struggles, we still know
What we must do today.

The sky, like a fiery furnace,
Elicits a poignant sympathy.
Inside a chilly room,
Suddenly, sweat pours down.

Amidst nature's trees and grass,
A sudden coolness washes over the back.
Surely, the wind has arrived
From a place far beyond!

Life is indeed magnificent,
Full of stories everywhere,
Rich in flavors,
Overflowing with vibrant hues.

Poetry by Nguyen Duc

Countryside girl with a demure grace,
Deer-like eyes, tender and captivating.
Breezy hair dancing in the wind,
Like a painting, golden autumn fills the sky.

A journey of a thousand miles through mist,
Overcoming storms to embrace the bright colors of spring.
A path with twists and turns,
Forgetting to sow the seeds of a meaningful life.

Joyfully embracing the fate of a peach-blossom face,
Preserving the beauty of love in a rosy heart.
Love with all one's heart and soul,
Sacrificing silently, an expansive human sentiment.

Many times fallen and desolate,
Indomitable courage rises magnificently.
Sorrow left behind, standing tall,
Rising to face the challenges of life.

Despite the changing circumstances,
Unyielding spirit, swearing sacred oaths.
From obscurity, a private sorrow,
Creating additional motivation in the realm of destiny.

Grateful for the blessings of the Triple Gem,
Parents imparting teachings of pure and gentle hearts.
Wishing for success in the noble career,
Hoping to bind the grass ring that never fades.

Poetry by Pham Thi Hong Thu

Oh, my child, the relentless illness,
Mother grits her teeth, swallowing each pain.
Wishing time to swiftly pass,
May you grow healthier with each passing minute,
Less pain with each fleeting day.

Oh, my child, the bitter suffering,
Mother bears it all, hoping for peaceful days.
You are a refreshing stream, a gentle breeze,
The source of life, gradually overcoming dangers.

Granting mother boundless strength,
May your birth bring immense joy.
Praying that ailments retreat,
So mother can care for you throughout her life.

Enduring the hardships with a bitter taste,
Mother carries the burden, anticipating the day of peace.
You are the cool stream, the endless wind,
The joy of birthing a healthy child.

Hoping ailments recede,
Allowing mother to care for you forever.

Chị Nguyễn Thị Liên in Lí Nhân, Hà Nam, decided to stop treatment for the sake of giving birth to her child. On May 25, 2019, baby Binh An was born peacefully.

Poetry: Nguyen Thi Hong Hanh

Born under hardship's shadow,
Limbs fragile, body small and frail.
War took some, left others behind,
For you, the toxic agent corroded.

Mother's love knows no bounds,
Nurturing and encouraging day and night.
Together, practicing first steps,
On the wooden crutches, you stride.

Months and years, weathering all,
With your crutches, exploring far and wide.
Conquering Fansipan, you ascend,
On wooden crutches, walking on the clouds.

Nguyen Son Lam, a resilient soul,
Rising above fate, building a beautiful life.
Despite the affliction, a smile blooms,
Becoming a useful individual, contributing with faith.

Nguyen Son Lam, always preserving,
The love of life, admired by many.
Reminding oneself to be resilient,
Climbing life's flame with perennial optimism.

Nguyen Son Lam, from Quang Ninh, born with the effects of Agent Orange, has a fragile skeletal system. He overcame this adversity with persistent training. In October 2011, he became the first person to conquer Fansipan with wooden crutches.

Poetry: Hoang Kao Binh

A narrow path into spring... forgetting, eyes misty with tears
Adding sparkle to the last beautiful sunny threshold
Retrieve the moment we silently loved, deeply hidden
Kept secretly in the profound heart, a flowing name...

Come back, my love, exchange eternal vows
February brings sweet coldness, permeating the blooming plum branches
Love, distant yet promised to be close, despite endless miles
Tilting lips smile, enchanted, gazing at original dreams

Forget and let it blend... taste the fragrance of nostalgic love
Grasping the time of youth, intense passion once desired
The horizon blushes purple, spreading a fragrance so intoxicating
Melodic lullabies of life... whoever sings gently into the heart.

Poetry: Tran Loc

In this mundane place for a hundred years, how to be enough?
Forget the trivial, convey words of love
A bit of worldly matters, just the usual
Release the entanglements for a serene soul

A bit of hurt on the journey, boredom blooms
Know how to smile, melting away many sorrows
If encountering evil, quickly forget
To confidently walk towards the land of tears

Let the heart not be discouraged... no need to ask why
Ten thousand people follow the stars for one love
Pain passes, leaving behind strong determination
Not perfect, just love is enough

A lifetime passes quickly like a dreamless sleep
Cry enough, laugh for the world to see
Whoever does it, all deserve a human life
Don't decay in spirit when there is still hope

Be happy with the unusual quirks of life
Right or wrong, square or round, vast or twisted
Today's big events, tomorrow become small matters.
Always cherish what we have within...

Hai Loc. 24.02.2020

Behold the rays of spring sun
Dispelling the shadows, one by one
Fields unite in vibrant hue
Rice paddies lush, a colorful view

Whispers in the gentle spring light
Tender shoots burst forth, a joyful sight
Flower buds promise fruits to bear
Drums herald festivals in the air

A tilted white hat, casually worn
Eyes sparkle, a glance is born
Cheeks playfully dimple with a grin
Sunlit drops turn pink, Spring's in

Mountains serene under the evening sun
Thousand clouds gaze, in unison
Flocks of storks return to their nest
Challenging rivers and mountains with zest

Ninh Binh, 2020

Poetry: Nguyễn Thị Khánh Hà

Think of life as a mountain range so grand
With countless valleys and peaks to withstand
From morning's dreams to the evening's glow
Amidst thorns and blooms, a fragrance does show!

The path begins with a newborn's cry
Mother's pain, joy of loved ones nearby
Be it the ordinary or the eminent high
Crawling, stumbling - all must rise

Don't think of yourself as a lonely planet
Nor as a sun in solitude set
Life is not just a square or round target
Through storms, trees endure - resilient and upright

Live life in moments of sheer bliss
With richness of essence in pure free will
Far better than being a cunning eel
Creeping, feeding, falsely happy still

The vast ocean still has its shores and shores
With rocky waves and a reflective floor
Embrace joy and sorrow in the everyday lore
Don't fantasize of snow-covered peaks anymore

Walk the journey with petite feet
Overcome distances, cross streams and sleet
Step above the deceitful elite
March onwards...
The road unfolds before your seat...

Poetry: Phan Huy Hùng

The slender, dry branch unknowingly brushes against your shoulder
Suddenly, it becomes lush, vibrant, and playful
The earth and sky seem freshly cleansed
Green, tender, and lively...

Walking on the street, everything seems new
As if touching it for the first time
Wet eyes swaying
Red lips spreading wide
Longing like invisible threads
Pulling someone into me
Dissolving into hues of happiness!

The driving force of life sprouts from genuine smiles
From selfless love
From the aspirations of a poetic verse
From the dry, unintentional touch
Against the soft, yielding shoulder
Suddenly transforming the soul
Fresh and flourishing!

Poetry: Dương Quốc Nam

Living requires a drive,
Determination in life, the shore of success.
Pure love nurtures and grows,
Giving is receiving, a warm, tender love.

Love propels through life's storms,

Beyond tempests, praised in every song.
Life is beautiful, triumphant,
Love spreading deep, like poetry's rhyme.

Love, determination, the driving force,
People cultivate opportunities, respond to life.
Love, the aspiration of each individual,
Ignites the spirit to overcome life's changes.

Poetry: Nghi Lâm

You stayed by me in moments of despair
Seemed like I couldn't endure for long
Thanks to deep love and tender affection
We overcame the days of deepest pain.

I, entrapped by what slipped away
Lost within my own thoughts
Future opens doors to glory
Business prospering, on a rising trajectory...

Unexpectedly, illness lurked nearby
Unfortunate events intruded daily
Fell into darkness on a drunken night
When I woke, you were right beside.

Winter is ending, spring embraces sunlight
By my side, always sharing encouragement
You hope to dispel all worries
To welcome Tet, surrounded by happiness.

Observing life, radiating prosperity
Failures turned lessons into success
Celebrate, for you have seen the pink hues
Of luck and the faith brought by you.

Cherish all that you hold dear
The miraculous drive of love
In the sky, swallows gracefully tilt
Underneath, a thousand flowers compete to bloom.

Dear Cô Bắc kỳ! Who are you, indeed?
You've given me a whole... WONDERFUL SPRING!

Poetry: Tony Bui

O worldly paths, how many to explore?
Yet life's essence contemplates, deep in thought
Who truly comprehends the empty verses?
Just wandering illusions in the earthly dream

Live sincerely, don't cling to illusions
A generous heart, open to the future
Stay hopeful through the days, months, and years
Love the present, cherish what you have now.

For life has its share of hardships
Endure to overcome, that's what's commendable
Find joy, tightly embrace with open arms
Give love, receive what's truly precious

A lifetime holds numerous aspirations
Live harmoniously, avoid harboring deep grudges
Think beautifully, live for each other sincerely
Let smiles linger in the eyes.

Live sincerely, without hesitation
For genuine love begets genuine love
Because each person has only one homeland
Safeguard life's path for added happiness

Poetry by Dũng Bụi Trần

Oh! What should we believe in?

Believe in the Buddha's teachings or in the reality of life?
Even if we
always live kindly, genuinely
A slight push
gently
makes us repay ancient debts.

We - dust particles

know nothing about the affairs of past lives
sun and rain
The revenge from wandering souls brings
Hearing Buddhist followers spread money around
Thought it was peaceful
suddenly day and night worry arises.

Now we understand

on the river, where is just one boat
If the heart is evil
even the bright path turns into a twisted knot
Selfishness
with hands full of gold and silver still lacks
To make fate sadder, tilted
upside down.

Remember..!

We only live once
Life is too short, love is still not enough
Don't believe >in things that are already old
Then pull ourselves into the black and white void.

Poetry by Hoàng Như Phượng

Please don't spread false news
Please don't gossip and create a fuss
Don't sow chaos, don't make a buzz
Let people endure less difficulty.

Don't extrapolate from trivial matters
Speaking out of context to appear grand
Causing pressure, causing confusion
Adding more turbulence to the community.

Let's overcome difficulties together
Join hands to build trust
Support each other in preserving
Love born from within loss...

Life, who doesn't yearn for
Peace, happiness, warmth, and plenty...
Don't let go in times of risk
For a brighter tomorrow.

Whether at sunset or dawn
Whether the day is cold or sunny
Always maintain a strong posture
Through storms, strong winds.

Turn love into action
Conquer today's 'mental illness'
Pushing back COVID every day
Let's join hands, my friends!

HNP - 22/2/2020

Poetry by Nguyễn Đình Cường.

Oh, I love it! Innocence in a child
So carefree, surprisingly pure
Though my life hasn't known silk and velvet
Many wish for a smile like yours!

Your parents traverse a sea of hardships
Providing, clothing, yet not complete
Love for their children, the heart's own melody
Yet withering, for fate divides us all

Some haven't tasted joy, in poverty they dwell
Seeing a smile awakens faith within
Oh, young ones! Borrowed by society, plea
Be treasures on the quest for happiness.

Poetry by Ha Nguyen

When we sow down the seeds of goodness
Trees will bear sweet fruits and emit a fragrant aroma...

Amidst the swirling vortex of daily life's waterfall
Many negative things congregate as a catalyst
Contributing to the process of 'construction' of prejudices
Of suspicions
Of loss of trust.

Faced with negativity, who has ever remained silent?
Calmly passing through
Calmly letting it erode everything.

Then calmly assess the value of human relationships.

Father silently avoids troublesome matters
Mother cries to the heavens when her good intentions are suspected of scheming
Brother hesitates before the wrong that disturbs... silently thoughtful
Sister becomes indifferent to others' pain
When loss doesn't touch her own flesh and blood...

Try to imagine
If there is no longer belief in the good
That is a state more terrifying than death and disease
One day when no one wants to sow seeds anymore
Due to lack of belief in a fruitful harvest.

Dear mother, please nurture good seeds within the soothing lullabies
Sister waters beautiful plants through small daily deeds
Brother rises above himself, not letting his heart corrode before adversity
Father is no longer the same, avoiding involvement in troubling affairs.

Let's ignite belief in every person...!

Poetry by Thu Thi Nguyen Nguyen

Hey friend, never ever be disappointed,
Just look at this magnificent picture.
Summer arrives, the scorching sun drips sweat,
The fields crack, forming shapes like bird footprints.

Fall silently, not bothering to say anything,
Quietly absorb the falling dewdrops.
The gentle breeze blends with the earth and sky,
Nurturing life in the fertile soil.

Then one day, we see it again,
The young sprouts greenly budding.
Shiny leaves retain the trace of fallen dew,
Winter comes, embracing the sprouts within.

Waiting for spring to hand over the tiny leaves,
Along with those small, beautiful buds.
On a spring morning, flowers suddenly rise,
Petals blossom proudly, full of hope.

Just like us, facing difficulties in life,
We must always maintain our faith.
Don't collapse; instead, strive to rise,
Even grass and trees still crave for life.

Why should we live without hope,
Comforting ourselves to be strong.
Even the heavens go through seasons,
Life is not that easy.

Life is interesting with its ups and downs,
Keep going, my friend.
Storms will pass, and the radiant sun will come,
Be confident; you are strong.

Poetry by Dao Manh Thanh

The pink lotus bud rises from the mud,
Still sparkling with an enchanting, noble charm.
Still exuding a fragrance, sweet and gentle,
Offering to life the allure of purity.

Despite storms and the torrential floodwaters,
It serenely rises from the fallen debris.
The fragrant life within the resilient soil
Awakens again, adding color to life.

Amidst the scorching summer sun, lotuses bloom,
The lotus towers emit a sweet, fragrant scent.
Oh, the magnificent beauty of the lotus flower,
Not just in appearance, but in profound nobility.

HP 18-4-2019

Poetry by Nguyễn Đức Phúc.

Through countless hardships, and toils
Stretching forward against the wind, welcoming the dawn.
Resilient, self-reliant in the journey of life
Upright, standing tall, proving to Life.
