Listening to every heart

I Believe In You

You were born out of a dream
or perhaps other circumstances
I know I was

but regardless, you came to life
with hands, arms, limbs and a heart
or perhaps not all of those
I know I was

and you strived and thrived
or perhaps you just got along
I know I have

and you are here now,
reading this
I know I am…

So while you are here,
know this:

I Believe In You.

I believe in your heart and your
soul,
your gifts and ambition
for even though
you think
you haven't any,
you do

because you are here
reading this.

You saw four words
and wondered what kind
of idiot would
write drivel like that.

Then perhaps you saw
something that said
"that's me"
and read
on.

that's why

I Believe In You.

There is still a spark inside,
or the spark is being
flamed
by what you
do, but certainly
for who you
are.

Your ambition has wings
even though you might
not have arms.

Your desires have legs
even though you might
not have limbs.

Your courage has heart,
even though yours
may have been
weakened by
losses.

I Believe In You.

So take this day
and make it your own.

And if you feel this message
has been
a gift,

then

it
is yours
to share.

I loved this when I saw it in Spiritual. . . and I love it even more now. . .

This is such a wonderful, heartfelt piece. . . I feel that everyone should read it and share it with someone that they care about. . .

Excellent my friend. . .

Well it is a good thing you do...and you know what?  "I" believe in "You" too.  Wonderful penning here...sort of waltz's through with tomorrows blessings.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Karilea - very beautiful sentiments here - heartfelt for all who read.

just one last question - despite my kitty-kicking ways, will you share some belief with me???
