I Believe

I believe in second chances 
when the first time I fall down
I believe the sun shines after rain
giving a smile to my frown
I believe in love everlasting 
when I am sure I met the one
I believe I will go to heaven 
and once again see my son 
I believe my sore heart will mend 
so life can be good again
I believe in all things good
in all I know and where I’ve been
I believe in angels from up above 
looking down to give a hand
I believe in the magic of hope 
when I think I cannot but can

Che Fontana Date: 3/31/2015 2:26:00 PM Great simple words. But I don't believe in second chances. Chances? Cut out. The rest is complete. Don't worry, I always give a second chance to others, but just to prove me wrong Login to Reply

Darlene Gifford Date: 10/7/2014 10:33:00 AM Oh, what a strikingly beautiful poem about beliefs. And I, also, have a son in heaven. Have faith and keep on believing in hope. Blessings, Darlene Login to Reply Darlene Gifford Date: 10/7/2014 11:34:00 AM I understand, Betty. My son, Gary, had just turned 13 in 1983. He had Cystic Fibrosis. But if you feel like I do, I just lost him yesterday! There is no distance in death. But we will see them again. That's God's promise to believers. Take care, Darlene Betty Bateson Date: 10/7/2014 11:25:00 AM Thank you. My son has been gone a long time but there are still times when I need to express my feelings about that loss. He was eleven.
