What makes "The Village Blacksmith" an inspirational poem?

What makes " The Village Blacksmith " particularly inspiring is the way the man himself goes about his work every day no matter what life throws at him. Being a blacksmith is hard, physical work and requires a lot of strength. That in itself is inspiring. And we're left in no doubt by Longfellow that the blacksmith is a hard worker; His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns whate'er he can, And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man.
