Poetry of Helen Steiner Rice
I had not heard of Helen Steiner Rice before this. Her Christian inspirational poems are wonderful! More than once reading out of the book has uplifted my day.
I have read the book a few times now. I am now sharing a poem each day on gather.com.
There is no way to choose only a few that mean the most. I have chosen 4 of her poems to share here. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
A Mother's Love
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

Climb Till Your Dream Comes True
And more than you think you can do..
Often the hills insurmountable, too..
But always remember..
The hills ahead are never as steep as they seem,
And with faith in your heart, start upward
And climb 'til you reach your dream.
For nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the faith to believe..
For faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in god's wisdom and will..
There is nothing that god cannot do,
So start out today with faith in your heart
And climb 'til your dream comes true.

Everyone Needs Someone
And we all need love for a full life depends-
Not on vast riches or great acclaim,
Not on success or on worldy fame,
But just in knowing that someone cares,
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers-
For only the knowledge that we're understood,
Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good,
And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need,
When we "lock up our hearts" and fail to heed,
The outstretched hand reaching to find,
A kindred spirit whose heart and mind,
Are lonely and longing to somehow share,
Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware,
That life's completeness and richness depends,
On the things we share with our loved ones,
and friends.

Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be-
If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me-
If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too-
Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains
That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear-
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.

Where There Is Love
Where there is love the day is bright,
Where there is love there is a song,
To help when things are going wrong,
To make all things seem more worthwhile,
Where there is love there's quiet peace,
A tranquil place where turmoils cease...
Love change's darkness into light,
And makes the heart take "wingless flight".
Oh, blest are they who walk in love...
They also walk with God above,
And when man walks with God again,
There shall be Peace On Earth for men.
