I Am

I believe I am the sum-total of the strength of my beliefs: 
I believe I am a human made from spirit, intellect and body;
I believe self-transformation thru karma is my reason for being;
I believe love is the answer no matter the question;
as a mother, I believe my child deserves all I have to give;
as a spouse, I believe in the power of a truly loving partnership;  
as a daughter, I believe in a lifelong commitment to parents;
as a sibling, I believe brothers and sisters are the best friends available;
as an employee, I believe finding joy in one’s work is ideal;
as a boss, I believe team work and confidence building are vital;
as an American, I believe I live in one of the best countries on earth;
I believe play, sports, inside and outside games help us feel free;
I believe in creativity even if it’s simply coloring with crayons;
I believe in dancing just because the mood takes you;
I believe in clapping in church after moving performances;
I believe in my ability to create harmony where there is discord;
I believe in my ability to communicate where there is misunderstanding;
I believe in my intuition and sensitivity though both make me vulnerable;
I believe in changing life for the better so I’ve lived no similar decades;
I believe fear is the worst consideration in decision making

I believe I was born with many mismatched puzzle pieces seeking snug fits 
that my beliefs gained me with each crisp snap into place with truth pieces.

Hey you my dear Cay Cay what happened to us, we were so close, and no disagreement, just drifted apart. I think of you very often and miss you a lot. Please come back into my life! I love your poem. I also wrote for this contest but I changed a word in the poem and did not update when entering Silent One really liked it and said it was a shame as it would have rated high. Love you always, Jennifer

Caycay, your lines are so beautiful. I know you as such an authentic person and I know your struggles. I am hoping all is going well with you right now as you go forward with a new life in Florida. Wish I could have given this higher score, but you started each line with "I believe" or I would have placed this higher! You ARE AMAZING.
