Believe

If we want to do better, We must hope for something better, Believe in something that is better. I still find it hard to believe, That there are people who are afraid to believe Who have no reason to believe For some the best present in the world is a reason to hope, But before we wrap that present full of hope, We must make sure it is not fake hope. If the hope is real, We will see real zeal, Which is a big deal. For some to believe, There is a need to see, to believe, A smile will then tell you how much they believe. That smile should be reward enough, For doing something tough, And showing you are made of the right stuff.

Thanks Richard. If felt I got this piece right. Take away hope and you take away the will to live. Is all well with you and any family you have. Best regards David in NZ
