It's Never Too Late: Inspirational Poem
I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they're stones that don't matter. As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good. Maya Angelou
It's Never Too Late
It’s never too late
To start a new day
To relish each moment
To carve a new way
To say “I forgive you”
To let it all go
To love one another
To learn and to grow
It’s never too late
To lend a kind hand
To someone in need
Who feels he’s been banned
To dry falling tears
Or comfort a heart
To strengthen the weak
When their worlds torn apart
It’s never too late
To sing a new song
To smile through the tears
When things do go wrong
So stay on your journey
And fill up your plate
Just keep on believing
It’s never too late.
Comfort a Broken Heart
“It’s never too late for a new beginning in your life.”
Joyce Meyer

Thank you for your kind comments and the story you've shared. I agree with your opinion....to listen to each other, to forgive and to move on. You have a bright future ahead because of your positive attitude and wisdom. Thank you, for being here.
What a beautiful poem! You have beautifully depicted the idea of being a good person. This has inspired me a lot, especially being a teenager I can understand how much it is difficult to manage everything in your life, you go through different phases, hardships, break ups, career and what not, but in the end the most important thing is how was your character and how these ups and downs have groomed you to be a better person.
In my opinion, I think we should give everyone some space, we should understand each other and most importantly we should listen to each other, before it's too late. It's not easy to forgive and to move on.
Love, Lucy.

Beautiful! You've said it all, Audrey.
I walk along the seafront almost every day and each time I say hello to as many others as possible. Most reciprocate or at least smile and that butterfly effect is good!

This poem is definitely at the right time for inspiration. Helping the homeless is one of my values. I live in the moment and enjoy what I have I am happy and a positive person. I think that in this year one has to do for themselves to improve or progress on what they want from life. True words from a talented writer.

Hi Liz
The message from the Archbishop of Canterbury is one that has crossed my mind this week. It's all too common to get caught up in the many demands of daily living and lose contact with others.
Thanks for sharing this important reminder.
Magical Maya Angelou and sublime Audrey Hunt! My dear sister, thank you for this exceptional gift for the New Year! The Light of your Heart is a blessing for us all!
Blessings to you and your beloved ones!

Thank you, dear Peggy. I like the sound of "2020" as there's a certain positive ring to these numbers when I repeat them. Somehow I feel empowered.
I hope this New Year brings you laughter, peace, and prosperity.

Dear Ruby,
It's very difficult to "smile through your tears", especially in our case where we both miss our sons so much. I try to steer my thoughts about my boy to some funny experience we shared together. This helps - sometimes.
I wish you less pain in this New Year. Sending love and big hugs.

Audrey, what a beautiful picture you painted with words, each stroke of your pen was filled with love, happiness, joy and peace.... excellent poem!
Happy New Year,

Rhyming poems need something else … that ju ne sais quoi that adds sublimity or beauty and yours fit that bill. In fact, to me it's a masterpiece!! Happy New Year!!
A beautiful inspirational poem at the start of the New Year. Happy New Year Audrey!
This is an inspirational poem for this time of year. In the UK, the Archbishop of Canterbury has given a New Year message in which he suggests we should all be contacting others that we don't get on with to build bridges and promote unity.

What a beautiful and timely message. Have a fabulous 2020. May all your dreams come true.
I love this, Audrey! My takeaway is to always try to do good! It always matters, and it's never too late. Happy New Year, my friend!
What a beautiful message to bring into the new year! Happy New Year's Eve, Audrey, and may 2020 bring about all the things you mentioned in your lovely poem.
What I take away from reading your beautiful poetry is, It's never too late to start loving more, forgiving more, and your best line..." Smile through the tears "
Audrey you amaze me! Your positive message shows me to be more forgiving to live a healthy lifestyle
Beautiful and uplifting message. Sign me up,my friend.
Happy New Year and love always!
