Believe

Missing image
Don't ever give up,
with every ounce of energy
and each breath you take,
believe!

Relish every sunrise,
bask in the glory of each day
and smile beneath the moon light,
believe!

Don't wait till tomorrow,
embrace your family close
give them all your love,
believe!

Enjoy nature's beauty,
savor its every scent
rejoice at its touch,
believe!

Don't give up,
believe!

    I remember the time we were all in prayer for Alpha, the time of testing for all. I knew you a bit, in passing comments back and forth, but got to see your heart, your compassion during that time. We have no real way of knowing the impacts of our lives with other lives, the way a thread through the tapestry moves, carries its line of hope, of belief...who will see that weaving and wonder at its complexity, its beauty...i have been allowed to see one thread, a tiny portion of that thread and have been moved to tears so many times because of it. I believe we will one day stand overlooking all our sorrowed pain, charred memory, to see them turn to brilliant jewels in His presence…that we will then understand the reasons “why” Your tribute to Alpha is wonderful and makes the heart swell with hope.
    Thank you for entering the contest, your poem here means a great deal to me.
    Blessings and best wishes,

    Sam it is funny but we as a family really learned to savour life to its full extent when my dear wife was first diagnosed with the disease.
    I agree with every word written here,each day is to be cherished and enjoyed for what it is another one to be shared with those you love and who love
    Wonderful

    It's so hard to comment on pieces such as this. I feel like any words I might project would be so inadequate. I know when I grieve for someone I love and lost, sometimes the best thing another person can give is simply a so that is what I am leaving here.

    Once again you have eclipsed yourself with your writings. I'm sure your sister is smiling with pride at your most beautiful words for her. Good luck in the contest. You have chosen a most worthy one. But going back to the poem itself, thank you for reminding all of us that we MUST always believe.
    In God's Love,
    Joan

    This was an uplifting poem. This poem not only relates to those with breast cancer, but to anyone who is losing faith in themselves and in God. What a wonderful write. Keep up the amazing work.
    love always and forever, marissa rae
