The Power To Believe

Perhaps, I take more often than I give...
Perhaps, I fall more often than I soar...
Perhaps, not all will like the way I live
And stand beside me on the judgment floor.

Perhaps, my wishes are a touch naive,
But no one suffers more than those among us,
Who fail to have the power to believe
In their strength and guidance from above us.
