Why I Believe

I believe moms can make it right,                                                                                            all day and all night.

I believe dads tell the best bed time stories,                                                                              they tell them with all their glories.

I believe my kitten is oh so soft,                                                                                             do not leave him in the loft.

I believe my grandma is the very best,                                                                                      much better when she gets some rest.

I believe my grandpa loves ice cream,                                                                                     he reads me a book so I can dream.

I believe because I believe,                                                                                                      it is much better to give than to receive.

Paula, your poem "Why I Believe" is a charming and heartwarming ode to the simple joys of childhood. I love the way you capture the innocence and wonder of a child's world and the way you celebrate the love and support of family. Your poem is a reminder that even the most minor things can be a source of great joy and happiness. - Blessings, Daniel
