The very point point of inspiration itself is that it doesn't mean to be just beautiful and well-written. It means to have an effect on the reader, maybe even make a change. The change might be spiritual, though it does not need to be. The change can be contained to the heart alone, leaving the soul to another occasion. Some is contemplative verse written to provide quiet moments in which escape or solace might be found from day to day matters. The world will always need inspirational poems for kids.
It's good that they are readily available both bound and online. Of course a book of such verse makes a wonderful gift. Inspiring poetry can also be used one poem at a time, as occasion demands. There really isn't an occasion when they are unwelcome, and if selected judiciously, they can be a gateway into a broader poetic universe.
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.
There is an important difference between inspirational poetry and religious scripture. That difference is important for religious people and nonreligious alike, though for different reasons. The former may or may not be understood the way so many believers understand their scriptures, which is as the actual words of God.
The general principle is that verse is the account of the seeking, those hopeful for God's beneficence. Speakers are often ordinary sinners, which might be the precisely the intention. Such verse should be read as the report of someone proposed as an example, or even counter-example, for one's own quest for divine truth, rather than the voice of that truth itself.
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.
