Any of my many poems to my wife. They are my favorite because they came from my heart and she was and continues to be my inspiration.

Invictus: Because it is a poem about strength in the face of adversity and taking responsibility for your actions:
William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903
Invictus
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance 5
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade, 10
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate: 15
I am the captain of my soul.

My favorite poem is called 'Sarah' and you can google it. But to me it brought to my eyes what parents and people are doing to children to destroy them. They blame todays teenagers for their own behavior but did you ever think that it had to do with how the parents raised them.

my favorite poem is Annabel Lee by Edgar A. Poe because it is a beautiful tale of a man whose "lovely Annabel Lee" has died and he is declaring his love still for her
