I Believe I believe in purple dawns In meadow lark and speckled fawns In stars of wonder in the sky In cradle rocking lullaby I believe in power of love The gentle coo of mourning dove The canyon stream, horizon’s hues In lily white and blue jay blues I believe that life is one, with God and moon and stars and sun Just as the leaves of autumn fly in answer to the question why I believe in truth of soul The honor of an honest goal The deeds of love through bitter strife The purpose of a single life In all of time there was a plan The course of nature, life of man The rhythms of the churning sea The oneness of eternity I believe that I will die In slumbering peace of knowing why The leaves of autumn turn to gold And answers that were never told Are in the wind and on the wings That sail the skies in warming springs Elizabeth Santos |

This was so pretty and nicely penned. I enjoyed the easy rhythm and even more the sentiment and all that you believe. Every single word of it had a soft glow that penetrated deep within. *Lovely* |

Ah, you know the strain of the song I Believe could almost fit all of these words as well...and now I shall be humming that tune all night, but thinking of Your Words... welcome back dear, we've been without you just a wee bit too long.... |

I believe they are all right but do I believe I am going to give you the biggest hug and swing around, that's what I believe. I can't wait to get to that flower place Liz, and walk outside with you and enjoy all that you believe! Oh I am too excited. This was one of my favorties again! I believe I say that every time you write. ~* Reality is an illusion ~ albeit a persistant one *~ |
