Some days it seems as though life is all work and no play, doesn’t it? We slog away at our jobs, our home lives, juggle family commitments and try to find some time for self care. Poems about hard work hear you, and are here to tell you that you’re not alone!
Reading about other people’s struggles can make yours feel a little more bearable, and at least can make you realize that you’re not the only one going through struggles. Sometimes all you need is a little acknowledgement of everything you’re going through, and that’s where our collection comes in.
Poems about hard work are not necessarily about the life of a lumberjack, or the hardships faced by slaves – sometimes they can be about the inner work that we have to do. Facing your demons, changing old bad habits, fighting addiction, getting over a heartbreak – these are all examples of hard work, and they are also things that can be immortalized in poetry.
Taking a break from your daily work to read through our collection can really help you to find your inner peace. They also make a really thoughtful gift for someone who you can see works really hard – they will feel better knowing their struggles are seen!
Poems About Hard Work
Perseverance
Author: C. Ross
Toil and sweat, day and night
Never giving up, despite the fight
Through struggles and hardships we must wade
Pushing through challenges, never to evade
The road to success is never easy, it's true
But with hard work, we can make it through
We must persevere, no matter the cost
For in the end, our reward will be more than most
So let us work hard, let our efforts shine
For with determination, we can truly shine
Through sweat and tears, we'll rise above
Proving to the world, that with hard work, we can truly love
For in the end, it's the journey that counts
The highs and lows, the joy and the doubt
But with hard work and perseverance, we'll conquer them all
For we are strong and we will stand tall
Success
Author: G. Pace
Success, a goal we all strive for
Something we work towards, day and night, more and more
It takes hard work and determination, to reach the top
But with a strong will and a never-give-up attitude, we'll never flop
For success is not a destination, it's a journey
One that requires us to face challenges, and not turn back in a hurry
It takes sweat and tears, to reach the finish line
But in the end, it's worth it, every single time
So let us work hard, let our efforts shine
For with determination, we can truly shine
Through sweat and tears, we'll rise above
Proving to the world, that with hard work, we can truly love
For in the end, it's the journey that counts
The highs and lows, the joy and the doubt
But with hard work and determination, we'll conquer them all
For we are strong and we will stand tall
Man
Author: J. Porter
A hard working man, he toils and sweats
Through all the challenges, he never forgets
His determination and will to succeed
A heart of gold, his character, it indeed
He rises early, before the dawn
Toiling away, until the day is gone
He never complains, and he never shirks
For he knows, that hard work, is what it takes to earn
He takes pride in his labor, and he does it well
For he knows, that his work, is a story to tell
He sets an example, for all to see
That with hard work, you can truly be free
So let us all take a page, from his book
For he is a man, who truly took
The road less traveled, and he made it his own
For he is a hard working man, who truly has grown
Moms
Author: R. Bowers
Moms who work hard, they are a special breed
For they balance it all, with amazing speed
From the office, to the home, they give it their all
For their love and dedication, can never be brought down by a fall
They rise early, before the dawn
Toiling away, until the day is gone
They never complain, and they never shirk
For they know, that hard work, is what it takes to earn
They take pride in their labor, and they do it well
For they know, that their work, is a story to tell
They set an example, for all to see
That with hard work, you can truly be free
So let us all take a page, from their book
For these moms, who truly took
The road less traveled, and made it their own
For they are hard working women, who truly have grown
For they are the backbone of our families and our homes
They are the ones, who always stand alone
In times of hardship, they never break
For they are the hard working moms, who always give and take
Parents
Author: X. West
Hard working parents, a sight to see
They juggle so much, with such ease
Raising children, holding down a job
They never stop, they never flob
Their love and dedication knows no bounds
They go above and beyond, round and round
They work hard to provide for their kin
The love they have, runs deep within
They may be tired, but they never complain
They persevere, through all kinds of strain
Their hard work is a testament to their love
A love that will always rise above
So here's to hard working parents, everywhere
You are the backbone, strong and fair
We love you, we thank you, for all you do
You are the ones who make it through
We salute you, we appreciate
Your hard work, it is simply great
You are the ones who set the bar
We love you, for who you are
At School
Author: X. West
Hard work in school is a must
It may be hard, it may be a bust
But the rewards that come from it
Are worth more than a little bit
It takes time and effort each day
To study and learn in every way
But the end result is worth the climb
As knowledge and wisdom intertwine
So don't give up, don't be discouraged
Push through the struggles, be empowered
The journey may be long and tough
But with hard work, you've got the stuff
So don't be afraid to put in the time
It'll pay off in the long run, that's no crime
Hard work in school is a virtue, a prize
Embrace it, and success will soon rise
Hands
Author: X. West
Hard working hands, a sight to see
They toil and labor, endlessly
They lift and carry, they build and create
Their strength and determination, never abate
They may be rough, they may be scarred
But their resilience knows no bounds, no guard
They work tirelessly, day and night
To provide for their family, their delight
They may be tired, but they never stop
They keep on going, till the job is popped
They are the ones who keep the world moving
Their hard work, it is simply proving
So here's to hard working hands, everywhere
You are the backbone, strong and fair
We salute you, we appreciate
Your hard work, it is simply great
You are the ones who keep the world turning
Your hard work, it is always burning
You are the ones who set the pace
We thank you, for all you do in this place
