I believe that beauty indeed is in the eye of the beholder,
I believe beauty is more than skin deep,
I believe beauty is something not gained,
But already there,
Not from copying models from the magazine,
I believe beauty is simply being yourself,


I believe there is a God above,
That created us with each a special gift,
I believe in Marriage to be a bond,
Not a temporary happiness but forever,
Shared.
I believe in children that show love
in their faces everyday,
I believe in sharing of love to people
Who need it in so many ways,
Often we are blessed by giving,
I believe in the beauty of another sunrise
and also the beauty of the sunset,
I believe all things were intended,
Even though not understood,
I believe in heaven and hell,
Though I definitely prefer heaven,
I believe in love and hate,
But mostly I believe in being in love,
Oh yes so so many things I believe.

I believe in life,
Living it for each day,
Sharing a smile with someone,
Paving a way for yet another day,
I believe children our the future,
So we must teach them well,
Yes so many things to believe in.
I believe.

And I believe that I DON'T believe how far back this one was without being touched.  This one is too wonderful to be back here and that is why I am in the belief that it must go back to the top.

Excellent writing, Rosebud.  Very well said.  I, too, believe . . .

thank you first of all Mark you always inspire me with your poetry, so I thank you, I believe that is something I truly believe in so many times we don't mention the little things so this is just a reminder that there is a future and we must look forward to it. I'm elated that there are still people that share these belief's  sometimes you think your the only one, but then you find so many people do still care, thanks.
