I have faith that I will see
Devotion deep inside of me
Get the chance, and with it share
A love of life beyond compare

The trust that there is still a life
For me to find without a price
No more pain, misguided trust
Belief that there is love for us

Conviction in this game we play
And move on to another day
Assurance that there is no doubt
Isn’t that what life’s about?

Reliance on a heart so true
Repairing hurts, both old and new
I wake this day and start again
Controlling fears of where and when
And just see where it goes.

This is a perfect poem to end my evening with, It is good to see there are men in the world that want to have the things I do.
Keep writing, you will inspire us all.
