Always Believe

I use to believe in fairy tales and happily ever afters,
I use to believe in dreams, love, and laughter.
As my journey through life went on and on
All my beliefs deminished, they were gone
One day I stopped, and looked all around
Didn't see anything, didn't hear one sound.
I searched within my soul, heart, and mind
The answers to how, when, and why I had to find.
I glanced up at the heavens, the heavens above
I asked the Lord what happened, what happened to love?
I turned and I stared at my past reflection
I thought, and I wondered I searched for direction.
I searched my heart, mind, and soul with such determination
The answers within was my realization
Then it dawned on me, I didn't believe
The fairy tales, and laughter were gone you see.
The dreams were said to be unrealistic
I no longer knew my own characteristics
I loked to the sky, then cleared my mind
I closed my eyes amazed to find
An open mind, puts the heart at ease
I had found the answers, my soul was pleased
I needed to forgive and forget all the bad that consumed me
To dream, love, laugh, and always believe was the kay.

Never stop believing in fairy tales. You must always have a bit of "child" in you. We know that life is not a fairy tale. But it is about having dreams and dreams are important and have.
