Whatever it is that makes a poem inspirational must be a lot more than merely aesthetic. The purpose must be to touch, and maybe even change something in the child who might be reading. That can manifest as a shift in spiritual state but it can be emotional or psychological. There is meditative verse written to help the reader escape from daily stress and see a larger view. Inspirational poems for kids can open up new ways of being and feeling.
Fortunately they are readily available in book and ebook formats, as well as in "favorites" sites online. Needless to say, a bound volume makes a delightful present. Inspiring verse is also available organized by type, as the moment requires. No one is ever annoyed by receiving them, and if chosen with an eye toward taste, they might introduce a youth into the broad world of poetry reading.
Stirring poetry can be a soothing gift to a child taken to bed sick for a few days. It's nice to write a bit of uplifting verse inside a Get Well card. Send one in an email when away at work. They're good for other situations too, such as offering consolation after any sort of disappointment, or offering encouragement on the eve of the big test.
If one's memory isn't completely lost to years and bad habits, it would be nice to actually memorize a poem or two. Then they can be available in conversation, which can be helpful if one isn't naturally conversant with people, kids in particular. Fortunately there is rhyme to help the memory, and inspiring poems can be just a single couplet.
Inspiring poetry and holy scripture are not the same thing for most people. To both religious and nonreligious people, the difference matters, though not for the same reasons. Verse may not be appreciated the same way the faithful appreciate holy books.
The general rule of thumb is that poems are the accounts of those receiving the blessing of God or hoping to do so. The speaker might be a sinful person, and that might be the very point. The poem is the words of someone who is to be understood as an example, a fellow traveler toward God rather than God himself.
This could be help for parents worried that inspirational poems might not be coherent with their religion's teachings. Those outside such a religious community might not understand, but such a thing can be important for more traditionally religious parents, who often feel assaulted by the secular world. As far as they're concerned, as long as there is a firewall maintained between the sacred and the secular, however inspiring, secular poems can contribute to a boy or girl's spiritual life by showing that such lives are being lived now.
For irreligious people, an inspiring ballad or epic can fill an important need, and create interesting opportunities. It can help a youth contemplate the Cosmos along with his or her role in it. It is a way to introduce young people to spiritual insight from across time and all cultures, in a manner free of religious dogma. Talking about a poem with one's son or daughter, or with a group of similarly irreligious friends, might even begin to serve as an alternative to church. Poetry can inspire, and in this is something of value to anyone.
