To Be Me

My faith is truly mine alone
My God would never disown.

My belief is truly so bright
It fills me with delight.

Some would say, I am wrong,
I still cherish it, like a song.

My faith is simply to believe,
My spirit has only to conceive.

To believe in a loving entity,
Giving me my entire identity,

That makes my desire to want to be.
Both inside and outside, I am just me.

There is nothing more uplifting and satisfying than the power of faith, Cecil. A beautiful couplet for MJ's contest. Good luck, my friend. Love, Carolyn
