What I Believe

 

I believe that always
there will be helping hands,
that it's possible to be a gentle man.

I believe mothers forever
will sacrifice, to save a child
willingly pay any price.

I believe youth want to trust
hope, want to press on
toward future happiness.

I believe life is a journey
along paths, across events
where past leads to future through present sense.

I believe in God, in goodness, in me,
in the importance of the moment
and the reality of eternity.
