I Do Believe- a Part of Me

I do believe in God, the Maker of
our Earth- and the vast Universe beyond-
including forms of life not yet revealed;
that ancient aliens provided clues
advancing knowledge way above our means-
and steered us to accomplish many feats.

I do believe space creatures oft arrive
within our space- and, not too long from now,
we'll learn the truths, well-hidden and denied.
Since God created all, perhaps these souls
are meant to check our progress over time-
since first they came to help us long ago.

I do believe our Constitution reigns-
that lawful orderliness must be kept.
Deep patriotic love for country shines
aglow in my conservative, warm heart;
my US Flag is honored and revered-
as are our warriors- for service shown.

I do believe in freedom for us all:
for our free speech and bodily defense;
for that of right to worship without scorn;
support for civil service workers, who,
like our police and firefighter teams-
provide our safety- giving up their own.

I do believe in everlasting life;
God answered questions in my many prayers.
My Mom, via a dream, confirmed this truth;
my Dad- a book, where I had placed his rose,
quite randomly upon a poem, which claimed- 
life after death- from graves- we live again.

These are some of the things I do believe-
that shaped my life and have supported me.

“we live again” ~ soul’s eternal, so we live on. Revelations in-pour in moments of prayerful silence. Congrats on your win, Sandra!

Congrats Sandra on your win--and I share many of your beliefs as I've experienced the paranormal, the 'inexplicable' several times in my life. Nothing happens by chance.

I love your poem entitled "Homo-sapiens"--it captures the current status of the activities of our world--very perceptive and thought-provoking:)
