A Parents Love
I gave you life,
but cannot live it for you.
I can teach you things,
but I cannot make you learn.
I can give you directions,
but I cannot be there to lead you.
I can allow you freedom,
but I cannot account for it.
I can take you to church,
but I cannot make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong,
but I cannot always decide for you.
I can buy you beautiful clothes,
but I cannot make you beautiful inside.
I can offer you advice,
but I cannot accept it for you.
I can give you love,
but I cannot force it upon you.
I can teach you to share,
but I cannot make you unselfish.
I can teach you respect,
but I cannot force you to show honor.
I can advise you about friends,
but cannot choose them for you.
I can advise you about sex,
but I cannot keep you pure.
I can tell you the facts of life,
but I cant build your reputation.
I can tell you about drinking,
but I cant say "no" for you.
I can warn you about drugs,
but I cant prevent you from using them.
I can tell you about lofty goals,
but I cant achieve them for you.
I can teach you about kindness,
but I cant force you to be gracious.
I can warn you about sins,
but I cannot make you moral.
I can love you as a child,
but I cannot place you in Gods family.
I can pray for you,
but I cannot make you walk with God.
I can teach you about Jesus,
but I cannot make Jesus your Lord.
I can tell you how to live,
but I cannot give you eternal life.
I can love you with unconditional love all of my
life.and I will!

God made a father
God made a father who is,
as sweet as a nectar,
as brave as a lion,
as cheerful as a bear,
and he gave such dear father to me.
--Tanusrii Gopal Krishnan
英语诗歌3
To My Dad on His Day
To my dad on his day,
Of whom I am a living will:
May your happiness fulfill
Your goodness,as is just and right.
Deeds are seeds upon the night
As wind and wonder have their way,
Delivering the destined light.
英语诗歌4
Daddy,I Love You
Daddy,I love you
For all that you do.
Ill kiss you and hug you
Cause you love me,too.
You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile cause I love you
On this Fathers Day.
英语诗歌5
Always there for me
I know you will always hear my rumbling and bear my blaring
I know you will always stand by me even if the world is against
I know you will always adore me and elevate me
I know you will think about me every moment
I know you will be infelicitous without your princess
I know you will always be there for me
You know I love you
英语诗歌6
My Daddy
My Daddy is a mountain
My Daddy is a sea
My Daddy smiles again and again
I love my Daddy
And I know he loves me
cause my Daddy is a ray of lite
that warms a winterseve
My daddy is very special to me
I could not live without my daddy
as he could not live without me.
英语诗歌7
Fathers Can Be Solitary Mountains
Fathers can be solitary mountains,
All their love rock-like,steep,and strong.
Though warm and caring,somehow they belong
Halfway home to mothersbubbling fountains.
Each of us needs love that knows no quarter,
Reminding us of bonds that cross a border,
Strengthening our sense of right and wrong.
英语诗歌8
Fathers Need Not Fathers Be
Fathers need not fathers be.
All one needs to do is choose
To love for life,and that embrace,
Held long and hard,bestows the grace
Each craves.For all in time must lose,
Restored alone by memory.
So now it is with you and me.
英语诗歌9
Be Kind To Thy Father
Be kind to thy father,
for when thou wert young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he?
He caught the first accents that
fell from thy tongue,
And joined in thy innocent glee.
英语诗歌10
Love never back
Let us use it while we may
Snatch those joys that haste away!
Earth her winter coat may cast,
And renew her beeauty past:
But,our winter come,in vain
We solicit spring again;
And when our furrows snow shall cover,
Love may return but never lover
英语诗歌11
Without you by my side
Without you?
Id be a soul without a purpose.
Without you?
Id be an emotion without a heart.
Im a face without expression,
A heart with no beat.
Without you by my side,
Im just a flame without the heat.
英语诗歌12
Never give up
Never give up,
Never lose hope.
Always have faith,
It allows you to cope.
Trying times will pass,
As they always do.
Just have patience,
Your dreams will come true.
So put on a smile,
Youll live through your pain.
Know it will pass,
And strength you will gain.
英语诗歌13
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE
Failure doesnt mean you are a failure,
It does mean you havent succeeded yet.
Failure doesnt mean you have accomplished nothing,
It does mean you have learned something.
Failure doesnt mean you have been a fool,
It does mean you had a lot of faith.
Failure doesnt mean youve been disgraced,
It does mean you were willing to try.
Failure doesnt mean you dont have it,
It does mean you have to do something in a different way.
Failure doesnt mean you are inferior,
It does mean you are not perfect.
Failure doesnt mean youve wasted your life，
It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.
Failure doesnt mean you should give up，
It does mean you must try harder.
Failure doesnt mean youll never make it,
It does mean it will take a little longer.
Failure doesnt mean God has abandoned you,
It does mean God has a better idea.
英语诗歌14
THE VALUE OF TIME
To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one hour:
Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute:
Ask a person who has missed the train，bus or plane.
To realize the value of one second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.
To realize the value of one millisecond:
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
英语诗歌15
Spring
Spring,the sweet spring,is the years pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing,then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting,the pretty birds do sing,
Cuckoo,jug-jug,pu-we,to-witta-woo!
The palm and may make country houses gay,
Lambs frisk and play,the shepherds pipe all day,
And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay,
Cuckoo,jug-jug,pu-we,to-witta-woo!
The fields breathe sweet,the daisies kiss our feet,
Young lovers meet,old wives a sunning sit,
In every street these tunes our ears do greet,
Cuckoo,jug-jug,pu-we,to-witta-woo!
Spring! the sweet Spring!
英语诗歌16
Here
Have a first-class teachers teachers
There are full of youthful spirit of the students
Here
Are our most precious memories
We have the most memorable junior high school career
We have the most intimate friends
Here
We have military training that unforgettable pains
We have 3 this hard last struggle in this beautiful campus
Righteous a bitter and music
But more is sweat washed style
I will always love you-- the poem to his alma mater
英语诗歌17
Love Like Morning Sun
So often,when Im alone with my thoughts,
I feel your presence enter me
like the morning suns early light,
filling my memories and dreams of us
with a warm and clear radiance.
You have become my love,my life,
and together we have shaped our world
until it seems now as natural as breathing.
But I remember when it wasnt always sotimes
when peace and happiness seemed more
like intruders in my life than
the familiar companions they are today;
times when we struggled to know each other,
but always smoothing out those rough spots
until we came to share ourselves completely.
We can never rid our lives entirely
of sadness and difficult times
but we
can understand them together,and grow
stronger as individuals and as a loving couple.
If I dont tell you as often as Id like,
its because I could never tell you enough
that Im grateful for you
sharing your life with mine,
and that my love for you will live forever.
by Edmund ONeil
英语诗歌18
Trees
I think that I shall J.Kilmernever see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
against the earths sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins1 in her hair;
Upon whose bosom2 snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with the rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
英语诗歌19
The Spirit Wooed
Once I believed in you,
And then you came,
Unquestionably new,as fame
Had said you were.But that was long ago.
You launched no argument,
Yet I obeyed,
Straightaway,the instrument you played
Distant Down sidestreets,keeping different time,
And never questioned what
You fascinate
In me; if good or not,the state
You pressed towards.There was no need to know.
Grave pristine absolutes
Walked in my mind:
So that I was not mute,or blind,
As years before or since.My only crime
Was holding you too dear.
Was that the cause
You daily came less near—a pause
Longer than life,if you decide it so?
英语诗歌20
Windflowers
Windflowers,windflowers
my father told me not to go
near them
He said he feared them always
and he told me that they
carried him away
Windflowers,beartiful
windflowers
I couldnt wait to touch them
to smell them I held them
closely
And now I cannot break away
Their sweet bouquet disappears
like the vapor in the desert
So take a warning ,son
Windflowers ,ancient
windflowers
their beauty capture every
young dreamer
who lingers near them
But ancient windflowers,
I love you
英语诗歌21
If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or,being lied about,dont deal in lies,
Or,being hated,dont give way to hating,
And yet dont look too good,nor talk too wise;
If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth youve spoken
Twiseted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose,and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothin in you
Except the Will which says to them:"Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you,but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty second worth of distance run-
Yours is the Earth and everything thats in it,
And-which is more-youll be a Man my son!
英语诗歌22
The Pride of Youth
Proud Maisie is in the wood,
Walking so early;
Sweet Robin sits on the bush,
Singing so rarely.
“tell me ,thou bonny bird,
when shall I marry me?”
-“when six braw gentlemen
kirkward shall carry ye.”
“who makes the bridal bed,
birdie,say truly?”
-“The gray-headed sexton
That delves the grave duly.
“The glowworm o’er grave and stone
Shall light thee steady;
The owl from the steeple sing,
Welcome,proud lady.”
