I Believe

I am bold in spite of my fears.
I am strong in spite of weak-
ness.
I can fly high although my wings 
are hurt.
I can see even though some-
thing is blocking my view.
I can love in the midst of hate
I can hope although it looks 
bleak.
I can dance although I can't
feel my legs.
I can sing even though I have
no voice.
Because believing in self  makes 
the impossible possible.
