Beyond Belief

She crawled into her father’s lap...her lips were quivering... there were teardrops in her eyes “Some kids say they don’t believe in Santa... they say it’s all a pack of lies.” She looked at him with innocent eyes... that snowy Christmas Eve... and asked him quite directly... “Daddy! What do you believe?” “Oh, I believe in Santa.” he answered, “As sure as I believe in you. I believe in miracles and Karma I believe fairy tales do come true.” “I believe in love and friendship. I believe in kindness and family. I believe in God and fairies and angels I believe in wonder and destiny.” “I believe a higher power created the planets... the stars, the sky, the sun. I believe in the spirit of love I believe there’s good in everyone.” “I believe we should listen to the animals I believe there’s magic in moonbeams I believe that art is all around us I believe in the beauty of our dreams...” “As he looked down she was sleeping in his arms which gave him some relief. “And when I look at you.” he whispered... I believe I’m blessed...beyond belief.”
