belief... it's all i know i've always been a believer for as long as i can remember believing in all that is good and true you were once a believer as well... what caused you to learn such doubt perhaps your heart knows all too well the pain and regret that so often accompanies belief my heart too has been whittled away by the blade of disappointment yet i will continue as i pray you will to believe... for far more devestating than the blade of belief is the deadly sword of doubt -vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

Yes the truth is in believing. But the reality is that so many know neither truth or belief. Superb work, loved every word. |

So much truth lies within the lines of this...and yes belief is by far better than doubt any day of the week. Terrific writing~ |

for far more devestating than the blade of belief is the deadly sword of doubt Vicky-This is so powerful and so full of truth in it's message. The lines above pretty much say it all but the ones you preceded them with are just as powerful. Excellent write my friend. Loved this one and I feel so positive now after reading it. |

You know, belief is so much a part of going through life with a smile that I just had to bring this beauty back up. Such a wonderful write and I too hold on to many beliefs and many of my dreams that WILL someday come true. |
